S5 Ep30: Deep Focus: Developing Europe's digital single market

Bruegel senior fellow J. Scott Marcus joins Sean Gibson for this
episode of Deep Focus on the 'The Sound of Economics',
elaborating on a Bruegel study for the European Parliament into
the progress made with the Commission's Digital Single Market
Strategy since 2015.


In a study for the European Parliament, Bruegel senior fellow J.
Scott Marcus (together with co-authors Georgios Petropoulos and
Timothy Yeung) has reviewed the gains delivered so far by these
new measures, insofar as they can yet be determined. The authors
also look at what the next legislative term might deliver, what
realistic progress can be expected and what business remains
unfinished regarding measures implemented by the current
Commission.


Speaking to Bruegel press officer Sean Gibson in this episode of
the Deep Focus podcast series, Scott Marcus specifies some of the
real achievements that the DSM can - and, indeed, has begun to -
deliver for both consumers and producers. More broadly, the DSM
is put in the context of efforts to digitise European society,
specifically how well policies towards the former are keeping
pace with the latter. 


We invite you to review the research paper in question in this
episode, but also recommend consulting Scott Marcus' testimony
before the European Parliament Committee on the Internal Market
and Consumer Protection (IMCO).
