Entrepreneurship: New Growth Strategies for the 21st Century
Co-sponsored by the National Commission on Entrepreneurship
Accumulating evidence suggests that sustainable, long-term economic growth depends on an economy's capacity to generate new, high-growth businesses. The decisions made by the entrepreneurs who start and scale up these businesses are shaped by an array of public policies. Yet, these policies are often made without an understanding of their consequences for entrepreneurship. This conference is intended to open an ongoing dialogue that shapes the relationship between entrepreneurship and public policy in the U.S. A select group of leaders from the entrepreneurial community, the public sector, and academia will work in large and small group settings to craft interlocking agendas for research, policy-making, and education.

American Economic Policy During the 1990's
The 1990s were a distinctive decade in the life of the American economy. Some highlights include the rise of the internet, elimination of the federal budget deficit, the stock market boom, globalization international financial crises, reform of welfare, and more activist approaches to antitrust policy and the environment. Economic performance was remarkable overall. How credit for this performance should be assigned is an open ended question, of course. The goal of this conference was to write the first draft of history on the making of economic policy in Washington in the 1990s.

Special Session: Standard Market Design, Wholesale/Resale
Sponsored by the Harvard Electricity Policy Group
Morning Session: Standard Wholesale Market Design
The decision by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to accelerate implementation of Regional Transmission Organizations includes the rulemaking on standard market design. To some, this reflects a commitment to finish a gradual convergence. Or the rulemaking could be viewed as drawing the lessons of experiments and implementing best practices. Others would see an inappropriate or, at least premature, abandonment of regional experiments. The challenge is to improve the dialogue as we move below the level of broad principles to the details of market design. With regional markets at different levels of development, it will not be an easy matter to move everyone to the same place or at the same pace. Further, although the Federal role does not include jurisdiction for retail markets, there is an inherent necessity and obligation to ensure that wholesale and retail market designs are compatible.
Afternoon Session: Standard Retail Market Design
The results in retail markets opened to competition have, in the eyes of many observers, been less than inspiring. Few customers have switched, or are migrating back to the supplier of last resort. Nonetheless, the market is young. New models are coming on line in such large states as Ohio, Texas, and Illinois. Moreover, while the number of customers who have switched is lower than hoped, the percent of load that has switched is larger. Where then do we stand on retail competition? There is consensus that viable retail competition requires a strong wholesale market, but there is not a clear consensus on the converse. Is retail competition necessary for the wholesale market? One lesson that California taught is that wholesale price signals cannot be disconnected from price signals. How can that link best be made? Can the RTO, as in Texas, enhance retail competition? What incentives, if any, are needed to motivate consumers to explore their options? Should incumbents be required or provided incentives, as in Ohio, to lose load? If retail access is functional only for large companies, can access arbitrarily be cut off at a specified level of use? How do we make retail and wholesale markets designs and regulations consistent and reinforcing?
