Meetings. Today, I had a number of interesting meetings in a slightly more spring-like Washington, DC. I discussed the need for reform of pensions and elderly care, and strategies to do that, with Richard Jackson at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. One publication that compares reforms in twelve countries seems particularly interesting. I also met with, for example, Anders Åslund, Senior Fellow at the Peterson Institute of International Economics. His experience and expertise in issues concerning reforms in Eastern and Central Europe in particular is impressive indeed. Here is one piece by him about the Eurasian growth paradox.
