\u201cThe Role of the EU in facilitating the modernization, the transition and international openness of the Mediterranean countries\u201d.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Following the evaluation undertaken by the Evaluation committee, the Selection committee selected ten (10) proposals for funding in the context of the FEMISE-European Commission contract on: \u201cSupport to economic research, studies and dialogue of the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership\u201d.<\/p>\n The selected proposals\u00a0have a real value added generating fresh knowledge, use rigorous and sound methodology, and have the potential of offering policy recommendations. Selected proposals\u00a0include 21 different FEMISE Affiliates from 13 different EU-Med countries (5 from the north and 8 from the south) and with the participation of more than 40 researchers from the Mediterranean.\u00a0<\/span>Drafts of the research papers will be presented in the forthcoming FEMISE Annual Conference (early 2018).<\/span><\/p>\n The nine selected proposals address the following themes :<\/span><\/p>\n We wish our researchers all the best in the efforts that they will undertake.\u00a0We strongly encourage all of our affiliates to participate in the fourth round (late 2017) and we wish you every success with your research activities.<\/p>\n The winner are (description in original laungauge):<\/span><\/p>\n The main aim of this project is to evaluate the role played by European Global Value Chains, and more specifically by business services, in adding value added and fostering innovation in Morocco and Tunisia. More concretely, we are aimed at achieving three objectives: First, we examine the evolution of the business services content of gross imports, by importing industry and country of origin. This indicator presents the \u201creal\u201d value added that business services create and that it is imported directly (as direct imports of business services) but also indirectly as intermediate inputs into the production of goods and services. Second, we identify the source of foreign value added embodied in domestic final demand for business services by country of origin of the value added. Domestic final demand includes household consumption, government consumption and non-profit institutions serving households. Third, we estimate the product-embodied R&D diffused through imported business services that are used as intermediate inputs by country of origin. Intermediate inputs contain R&D created by other industries and in other countries. The use of intermediate inputs from high-innovative industries (as business services) can contribute to the development of innovations in user industries.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Ce projet vise \u00e0 analyser la dynamique des strat\u00e9gies de d\u00e9veloppement des \u00e9nergies renouvelables dans les pays MENA sur la p\u00e9riode 1990-2014. Pour cela, nous proposons de d\u00e9finir deux indicateurs de production d\u2019\u00e9nergies renouvelables (global et par source) afin d\u2019identifier le profil de chaque pays tout en portant une attention particuli\u00e8re aux \u00e9nergies renouvelables issue de la technologie de l\u2019hydraulique. Aussi, nous proposons d\u2019\u00e9tudier les cons\u00e9quences sur le d\u00e9veloppement durable de ces pays au regard des sources des \u00e9nergies renouvelables et \u00e0 l\u2019aide d’un mod\u00e8le \u00e9conom\u00e9trique en panel dynamique. Ainsi, le projet se propose de produire des \u00e9l\u00e9ments de comparaison entre les pays MENA et d’\u00e9tudier le lien, \u00e0 court et \u00e0 moyen terme, entre les sources d\u2019\u00e9nergies renouvelables et le d\u00e9veloppement. Ce projet permettra de mettre en lumi\u00e8re l\u2019impulsion donn\u00e9 par le Plan Solaire M\u00e9diterran\u00e9en aux diff\u00e9rentes strat\u00e9gies des pays MENA et d\u2019identifier la ou les strat\u00e9gie (s) gagnante (s) en termes de point de croissance.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n The main goal of the research proposal is to assess the medium \/ long \u2013 term aggregated economic impact of refugees on the economy of middle income-labour abundant hosting countries using Turkish economy as a case study. This project aims to be understood as a contribution to the evaluation of this long-term economic potential. Our objective is to widen the view about the impact of Syrian refugees in Turkish economy adding a long – term perspective to the partial evidences found in the short – term context.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n The Mediterranean Partner economies are expected to further benefit from regional financial and trade integration with a proper allocation of savings, and a better ability to share financial risk by reducing consumption and income volatilities. However, the empirical evidence on the effects of trade and financial integration on macroeconomic volatility is still very limited. Therefore, this study will add to the limited existing literature on developing countries by studying, and perhaps for the first time, the relationship between trade and financial integration and macroeconomic volatility in the MED region. The objective of this study is to shed some light on this issue by studying the impact of enhanced regional trade and financial integration on macroeconomic volatility in the Euro-MED region. In this context, we will answer the following question: is there a link between the degree of regional trade and financial integration and Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and consumption convergence and macroeconomic volatility in the MED region?<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n The project aims to analyse how the influx of Syrian refugees influences the economic and social conditions of host countries such as Lebanon and Jordan. Although broad knowledge regarding the challenges of migrant workers has been gathered in the academic field, this is not the case regarding refugees. Despite the extensive discussion about the refugee crisis in Europe, the impact of the Syrian War and resulting instability\u00a0in the entire region on neighbouring economies receiving refugees has not been sufficiently addressed.\u00a0The research methodology is based on comparisons of labour markets before and after refugee entrance. This project aspires to improve the decision making process in integrating the refugees in host countries and stabilizing their economic and social status.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n The main aim of the project is dual. First, to analyze the effect of feminization of occupations on gender-occupational segregation in the Mediterranean countries Egypt and Jordan. Second, to identify the effect of feminization of occupations on the gender wage gap. In particular, the analysis will investigate the role of the feminization of occupations on boosting female labor force participation and on decreasing the gender wage gap and increasing the ‘labor market effectiveness and inclusiveness’. Ultimately, the goal is to increase labor markets\u2019 efficiency that promotes living standards and thus manages migration to the EU countries.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n In this research we will address the hypothesis of refugees as a potential in Jordanian economy, when socially included, with a methodology that gives an original insight. We will compare the economic inclusion of migrants in an advanced OECD country on one hand, Italy, with the economic inclusion of refugees in Jordan now at hand. The aim of the comparison is to identify the determinants of economic inclusion in Italy in terms of opportunity structure on the territory and its institutions and policies (at local and national levels), and in terms of social capital and compare them with data and experience from Jordan. This will allow to design policy indications based on findings and best practices of economic integration and social inclusion of refugees in the hosting country.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n In contrast to the existing literature the aim of this project is use a disaggregated multi-market partial equilibrium (PE) model. This will provide a much more granular analysis of the possible impact on the trade and production of specific Tunisian industries. The model we propose will be a multi-market model, and built into it will be the possibility of running simulations under both perfect and imperfect competition, and thus to explore the sensitivity of the results to different forms of competitive interaction.\u00a0The analysis of the EU-Tunisia DCFTA will also shed light both methodologically and empirically on the impact of further DCFTAs which are already under negotiation (eg. Morocco \u2013 though currently suspended), and those which have been suggested for the future (such as with Egypt or Jordan).<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Ce projet s\u2019attachera d\u2019abord \u00e0 donner une image la plus compl\u00e8te possible du contexte actuel des refugi\u00e9s dans le monde et en Europe en particulier. Notre recherche s\u2019int\u00e9ressera ensuite \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9tude des contributions de la migration d\u2019asile et de l\u2019immigration en g\u00e9n\u00e9ral aux performances macro\u00e9conomiques des pays europ\u00e9ens en termes de croissance, de ch\u00f4mage et de salaires. Le projet s\u2019int\u00e9ressera alors \u00e0 l\u2019analyse empirique des liens<\/p>\n entre les migrations y compris la migration d\u2019asile et les diff\u00e9rents indicateurs \u00e9conomiques des pays europ\u00e9ens.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Ce travail permettrait de proposer des recommandations pour une meilleure orientation des politiques en mati\u00e8re de d\u00e9veloppement et d\u2019am\u00e9lioration des indices d\u2019\u00e9quit\u00e9 et d\u2019\u00e9galit\u00e9 des chances dans les trois pays : Alg\u00e9rie, Maroc et Tunisie. Dans un premier temps, l\u2019\u00e9tat du d\u00e9veloppement de la petite enfance (DPE) sera \u00e9valu\u00e9 \u00e0 travers plusieurs indicateurs diff\u00e9rents. En deuxi\u00e8me lieu, nous d\u00e9crirons la relation entre ces indicateurs et un certain nombre de caract\u00e9ristiques de donn\u00e9es de base (dites circonstances) des enfants. Troisi\u00e8mement, nous quantifierons les chances in\u00e9gales auxquelles les enfants font face pour vivre leur situation dans chacun de ces indicateurs, \u00e0 l\u2019aide de l\u2019indice de dissimilitude D-index.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We received nineteen (19) eligible proposals for this 2017 round […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":14453,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[14,722,21],"tags":[489,451,494,407,608,495,496,609],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.femise.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14430"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.femise.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.femise.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.femise.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.femise.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14430"}],"version-history":[{"count":19,"href":"https:\/\/www.femise.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14430\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16523,"href":"https:\/\/www.femise.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14430\/revisions\/16523"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.femise.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14453"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.femise.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14430"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.femise.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14430"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.femise.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14430"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\n
