At the conference, entitled "Conference on International Economic Integration: Firms, Workers, and Policies", leading international researchers in the field of international economics – many of them former students of Kohler – presented their latest research papers.
In his lecture "The Fight for a Better Europe", Fritz Breuss showed how Kohler – in a friendly competition with Breuss – has conducted various studies on the effects of Austria's membership in the EU. Despite different methodological approaches, the two researchers arrived at similar (positive) results from Austria's EU accession in 1995, the introduction of the euro and the major EU enlargement in 2004.
