Who’s supporting the Forum?

Academic partners

During its preparatory phase that begun in early 2017 the New Paradigm Initiative worked with many renowned economists and thinkers from other disciplines. A number of initial studies exploring shifting paradigms were written and discussed including ones by Moritz Schularick and Adair Turner (on financial markets), Ottmar Edenhofer (on climate action and carbon pricing), Xavier Ragot (on fiscal policy), Marcel Fratzscher (on inequality), Sebastian Dullien (on the impact of trade), Michael Jacobs (on the determinants of Paradigm shifts), and Simon Tilford and Christian Odendahl (on reform of the eurozone).

At our workshops and meetings among others Mariana Mazzucato presented on the modern role for the state, Harold James on the history of paradigm shifts, Jens Südekum on the flipsides of trade even for an export country like Germany, Tom Krebs on the returns from public investment, Jakob von Weizsäcker on European public goods, and Maja Göpel on the potential limits of economic growth.

The Forum’s list of academic partners moreover comprises more than 30 high-level experts from Germany and abroad covering a large range of disciplines and backgrounds. Among those who have joined are Dani Rodrik, Barry Eichengreen, Katharina Pistor, Jean Pisani-Ferry, Adam Tooze, Carlota Perez, Adam Posen, Hélène Rey, Paul de Grauwe, Mark Blyth, Eric Beinhocker. Our further partners include Caio Koch-Weser, Pascal Lamy, Christian Kastrop and Gerhard Schick.
