Modernization of the State or Innovation and Public Management

New technologies are evolving so fast that regulators struggle to keep pace: the insufficiency of current regulatory instruments is as evident as the need for effective rules in a world in constant flux. Future decision-makers need to master a new toolkit to foster more agile, adaptive regulation in times of constant disruption and increasingly frequent emergencies.

By taking this course, you can learn how regulators are coping with the interplay between regulation and innovation, and how new regulatory tools are being designed and implemented around the world. You will also learn what it takes to become a policy leader in your field, and understand the use of instruments such as regulatory sandboxes, the use of big data in regulation, rules for digital platforms and emerging approaches to market liberalization. You will also discuss several case studies from different regulated sectors, which will help you at once explore existing experiences around the world, and debate important legal, policy and ethical concerns with a group of peers. The course is an interactive learning journey, mixing personalized training according to your domain of professional expertise with inter-disciplinary, collaborative learning with your peers and colleagues, and live, interactive sessions with the course instructor.

The instructors are Andrea Renda and Lucia Bosoer from European University Institute (EUI).

This course is a result of the collaboration between Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) and European University Institute (EUI) teams.

The CAsA Pilot Program is a new IDB initiative aiming to help build or strengthen the foreign currency asset management institutional capacity of our region's Central Banks and Official Institutions.

CAsA Pilot Program participants not only would benefit from IDB's asset management capabilities, but also gain access to capacity-building opportunities for their staff and advisory opportunities to adopt leading practices in the industry.

CAsA Pilot Program participation will be limited to five member-country Central Banks or Official Institutions.

It is a self-paced course, in which you will find a series of resources and learning activities arranged in a staggered order, from the appropriation of conceptual knowledge to a level of application of the integrated environmental-economic model IEEM, a tool that will allow you to analyze public and investment policies, with an emphasis on natural capital.

Also, there are included, as didactic support, three different models, IEEM and two other simpler ones (simple EGC and mini-IEEM). With the three models, you can analyze different economic scenarios, through a friendly interface called ISIM, to define possible scenarios, calibrate the model, run simulations and interpret results.

The ISIM interface is an Excel add-in that will allow you to interact with the GAMS software to solve the IEEM systems of equations.

The approximate time of dedication to the course is approximately 30 total hours.
