FSI/TEC Consulting Professor Christophe Crombez and co-author Professor Simon Hix (London School of Economics and Political Science) recently published their research on European Union (EU) policy making in the June 2014 British Journal of Political Science.  In their article, "Legislative Activity and Gridlock in the European Union," they develop a game-theoretical model of EU policy making that suggests that the amount of legislative activity depends on the size of the gridlock interval.

Christophe Crombez is also Professor of Economics at the University of Leuven.
