November 16 & 17, 2021

COVID-19 pandemic brought attention to coordination problems between central and local governments in countries with decentralized government systems. While there are also some success stories regarding government response to the pandemic, many decentralized countries suffered from the coordination problems particularly in terms of public health response. In this conference, researchers from the ÍƼöÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´ College of Business, the Center for Basque Studies, the Government of Bizkaia in the Basque Country and the University of the Basque Country, Faculty of Economics and Business will present evidence on decentralized government response from different country and local case studies. The goal of the conference is to compare the experience and performance of different governments to understand which policies have worked better during the pandemic. The papers from the conference will be published in a book volume by the Center for Basque Studies.
