Newsletter
The CRC TR 224 publishes a quarterly newsletter that summarizes its activities.
The CRC TR 224 addresses three key societal challenges: how to promote equality of opportunity; how to regulate markets in light of the internationalization of economic activity; and how to safeguard the stability of the financial system. The distinguishing feature of the CRC is that it views these challenges as inherently interconnected; its goal is to analyze and provide policy proposals to address them.
Project area A: Family and education policies
Informal and formal institutions – such as the family and the school – interact in a complex process that depends on initial conditions, investments and shocks. The goal of project area A is to better understand this process and to contribute to the formulation of effective, evidence-based family and education policies.
Project area B: Product market regulation
Project area B addresses problems of market design and regulation. The internationalization and digitalization of markets pose new challenges, especially in view of policy objectives such as consumer protection or the mitigation of environmental damage.
Project area C: Financial market regulation
Project area C studies financial markets from a variety of angles: households, firms, banks, central banks, and the government in its functions as debtor and regulator. The overarching question is about setting the rules of the game.
