OverviewSubsidiarity in the European Union, as the guiding principle of decision-making ""close to the people"", is often motivated and discussed from a predominantly political perspective. In this book, twenty-five renowned economic researchers and policy experts draw the demarcation between national and European policies from an economic viewpoint. Insights from economic theory and empirical research are used both to analyse the assignment of policies between the EU and its Member States and to identify appropriate levels of decision-making. Four key areas of the renewed Lisbon strategy are highlighted for their policy relevance: education and innovation, the internal market, corporate taxation, and regional and transport policy.

Table of ContentsReviewsFrom the reviews: This book is a very important contribution to the literature on subsidiarity in the European Union. ... The editing is excellent with good introductory chapters and a uniform format for the subsequent chapters on the different policy fields. ... Especially in areas where the transfer of new competences is in discussion like higher education, tax policies or, more recently, prudential supervision of banks, a careful economic assessment of subsidiarity is very welcome in stimulating informed policy debates.
