Modern economies produce massive datasets that need to be analysed using new modelling techniques like those from data science. The exploration of such huge and real-time amount of information generates new insights that are potentially useful for policymakers when designing policy interventions. The second edition of the Big Data and Economic Forecasting workshop (March 16-17, 2021) gathered together researchers, practitioners and policy-makers from diverse backgrounds, with the goal of discussing the latest applications of big data technologies to economics and finance. In this report, we summarize the works presented and the main conclusions of the workshop, highlighting the relevant state-of-the-art and the venues for future research.

As the COVID-19 pandemic raged, fiscal policy quickly emasculated monetary policy in part because interest rates were ultra-low and central banks could only re-activate or enhance existing interventions to cushion the financial sector blow stemming from various lockdowns in economic activity. The ECB’s response amounted to widening the scope of its interventions first introduced in response to the euro area sovereign debt crisis. On the fiscal side, and beyond the individual country responses to the economic impact from the spread of the virus, the EU eventually agreed to a novel common response which, if fully implemented, may well be transformative though, as this is written, the promise also risks falling short of expectations.

European Disability Expertise (EDE) provides independent scientific support to the Commission’s policy Unit responsible for disability issues. Task 2 aims to collect, analyse and provide independent data, information and analysis on the situation of persons with disabilities.
In this report, disability is proxied by limitation in activities people usually do because of health problems for at least the last six months (EU-SILC survey). The data refer to 2018 and occasionally to 2019 (provisional data concerning poverty and health).

This Flash Eurobarometer survey explores EU citizens’ perceptions about the independence of the judiciary across the 27 EU Member States. The results of these surveys feed into the EU Justice Scoreboard, which provides data on the efficiency, quality, and independence of national justice systems – essential parameter of effective justice systems. Effective justice systems are essential for implementing EU law and for upholding the rule of law and the values upon which the EU is founded. Effective justice systems are also essential for mutual trust, the investment climate and the sustainability of long-term growth.
