This continues a series of meetings on the interaction between private and public players in industries and services of public interest.
The PPPSD series of events is supported by the European Commission's Sixth Framework Programme, contract no. MSCF-CT-2005-029665. The project is funded under the Marie Curie SCF Programme
Examples of areas that could be addressed include:
· Pro-social behaviour and incentives
· Mechanisms of regulation
· Public-private partnerships
· Procurement of public services
· Competition law and public services/privatised companies
· Effects of privatisation (on product and financial markets)
· Employee and organisation incentives and quality of education
· Matching models in public services
· Auctions for public service franchises
Marie Curie actions focus on developing young researchers, enabling them to present research and benefit from the inputs of senior colleagues and policy-makers. Hence, we are keen to receive submissions from young researchers, who have recently defended their PhD, as well as established academics. In addition, some of the funding is also earmarked for citizens of the EU currently working in the US and we are also keen to receive submissions from academics in this category.
The scientific committee is composed of Mathias Dewatripont (ECARES and CEPR), Antonio Estache (ECARES), Paul Grout (CMPO), and Patrick Legros (ECARES and CEPR).
