Jean HINDRIKS and Pierre PESTIEAU together with a group of academics in Osaka University (Japan) have decided to launch an annual meeting in public finance between Japan and Belgium.

Purpose

The purpose is twofold:

• Build a bridge between economists at UCLouvain and Osaka University (Graduate School of Economics) to exchange academics and doctoral students.
• Promote collaboration between belgian and japanese economists, notably in the area of public economics in which CORE has a long standing reputation.
