An investigation of the root causes of the Greek crisis

Hyppolite, Paul-Adrien , (2017), “An investigation of the root causes of the Greek crisis”,  VoxEU, 27 May

The Greek crisis is typically seen as a sovereign debt crisis. Using a new dataset, this column explores the dynamics of national wealth accumulation in Greece over the past two decades. It argues that, despite certain idiosyncrasies, the Greek crisis can be better characterised as a balance of payments crisis. This implies that Greece shouldn’t be seen as an outlier amongst the periphery Eurozone countries.
