SUMMARY:UNCTAD Conference
DESCRIPTION:Senior Fellow Oscar Borgogno  presented his project with Prof. Aurelien Portuese\, “Putting Market Investigations to Good Use for Development: The Case of Financial Data Sharing\,” at the Fifteenth Meeting of the UN Trade and Development (UNCTAD) Research Partnership Platform. Hosted at the United Nations Office in Geneva\, this event brought together leading academics\, policymakers\, and national delegates to bridge scientific research and policymaking. \nThe presentation highlighted how financial data-sharing practices from the UK\, EU member countries\, and Australia can empower developing and least developed countries to build expertise and adopt best practices for effective market interventions. \nDistinguished experts engaged in thought-provoking discussions about the future of global competition policy and its role in fostering development. \nSpecial thanks to session chairs Leonard Yves Kenfack Tsafack and Arnau Izaguerri Vila for guiding the dialogue. \nThis milestone event reinforced the importance of international collaboration in advancing competition policy and development.  \nStay tuned for more updates on our ongoing projects and initiatives!

SUMMARY:G7 - GW Lab - Italian Central Bank
DESCRIPTION:https://www.bancaditalia.it/media/agenda/convegni-2024/Digital-Policy-programma.pdf \nThe scientific event explores the intricate relationship between digital trade and data governance in the context of the rise of artificial intelligence (AI). The event will start with the remarks of Senior Deputy Governor Luigi Federico Signorini\, followed by two scientific sessions\, a keynote address by Prof. Philippe Aghion (College de France)\, and a policy session focusing on the G7 Data Free Flow with Trust initiative and Cross-Border Payments. \nThe first scientific session centres on digital fragmentation. The digital economy is growing at breakneck speed. Recent OECD estimates indicate that digital trade reached 25% of global trade in 2020. In this context\, Martina Ferracane (Teesside University and European University Institute)\, Johannes Fritz (Digital Policy Alert) and Oscar Borgogno (Bank of Italy) will discuss the challenges presented by the increasingly divergent regulation of digital spaces and the evolving landscape of digital economy\, in addition to the issues posed by the absence of a universally accepted definition for digital trade. \nThe second scientific session delves into the new trends in digital trade policy. In this session\, Javier López González (OECD)\, Mira Burri (University of Lucerne) and Emily Jones (University of Oxford) will analyse how the digitalization process\, from the rise of the Internet to the development of AI\, serves as the primary driver of digital trade e. The session will explore the complementary role played by digital trade agreements in lowering barriers and facilitating e-commerce as well as the rising barriers to digital trade. \nThe keynote address will focus on the intersection between artificial intelligence and innovation policy. \nThe policy session\, “The G7 Data Free Flow with Trust Initiative and Cross-Border Payments\,” brings together key players in the field of cross-border data flows and cross-border payments. The session will be opened by Daniela Battisti (Department for Digital Transformation) and Stefano Siviero (Bank of Italy). In the session\, Jennifer Fowler (FSB)\, Maiko Meguro (Japan Digital Agency) and Audrey Plonk (OECD) will discuss recent developments in Data Free Flow with Trust (DFFT)\, and the challenges posed by divergent data frameworks in cross-border payments. The session aims to foster collaboration towards the goals of the G7 Data Free Flow with Trust initiative and of the G20 Roadmap on cross-border payments. \nThe Scientific and Organizing Committee is composed by: Oscar Borgogno (Bank of Italy; George Washington University Competition and Innovation Lab)\, Paolo Mazzotti (Bank of Italy); Lilia Patrignani (Bank of Italy); Gianmatteo Piazza (Bank of Italy); Aurelien Portuese (George Washington University Competition and Innovation Lab); Michele Savini Zangrandi (Bank of Italy). \nThe event will take place in Rome\, at the Centro Convegni “Carlo Azeglio Ciampi” of the Bank of Italy. The programme of the event is available at the link below. \nFor more information\, contact digitalroundtable@bancaditalia.it \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\nDescription\n\nhttps://www.bancaditalia.it/media/agenda/convegni-2024/Digital-Policy-p…
