European Commission (2015) European Economic Forecast: Winter 2015, European Economy 1|2015, DG for Economic & Financial Affairs, Φεβρουάριος. GDP growth in the EU remains sluggish. Sputtering investment has so far prevented a broader and more robust acceleration of domestic demand.

We already have a simple and conventional story to explain the weak recovery

Wren-Lewis, S. (2015) “We already have a simple and conventional story to explain the weak recovery“, VoxEU Organisation, 30 Ιανουαρίου. The anaemic recovery from the Global Crisis and the downward trend in real interest rates since 1980 have revived interest in the idea of secular stagnation. This column argues that if the US, UK, and Eurozone had not pursued contractionary fiscal policies from 2010 onwards, the recovery would not …Read More

Secular stagnation in the Eurozone

30 Ιανουαρίου, 2015

Δεν επιτρέπεται σχολιασμός

De Grauwe, P. (2015) “Secular stagnation in the Eurozone“, VoxEU Organisation, 30 Ιανουαρίου. Nowhere in the developed world is the secular stagnation more visible than in the Eurozone. This column explains this phenomenon with asymmetric external balances within the Eurozone. Southern counties had accumulated current-account deficits and became debtors when the Crisis hit, whereas the northern ones became creditors. The burden of the adjustments has been borne almost exclusively …Read More

Neil, Irwin, (2015), “Η τελευταία και καλύτερη ελπίδα της Ευρώπης”, Η Καθημερινή, 23 Ιανουαρίου. Το πρόγραμμα που ανακοίνωσε χθες ο Μάριο Ντράγκι και αποτελεί προσπάθεια να ανασυρθεί η ευρωπαϊκή οικονομία από την ύφεση έρχεται με καθυστέρηση μηνών, είναι μικρό σε σύγκριση με τα αντίστοιχα σε ΗΠΑ και Ιαπωνία, και περίπλοκο για να ικανοποιήσει πολιτικές σκοπιμότητες. Ισως, όμως, είναι η τελευταία και καλύτερη ελπίδα της Ευρώπης να μη διολισθήσει σε μία …Read More

Gros, Daniel, (2015), “Grexit 2015: A primer”, CEPS Commentaries, 23 Ιανουαρίου. In the run-up to the Greek elections on January 25th and the subsequent renegotiation of the country’s economic adjustment programme with the troika, Daniel Gros writes in this Commentary that “nobody officially wants Grexit”: not Syriza, which wants Greece to stay in the euro. It is ‘only’ asking for a reduction in Greece’s official debt and an end to …Read More

The ECB’s New Macroeconomic Realism

Δεν επιτρέπεται σχολιασμός

Jeffrey D. Sachs, (2015), “The ECB’s New Macroeconomic Realism”, Project Syndicate, 23 Ιανουαρίου. The European Central Bank has finally launched a policy of quantitative easing (QE). The key question at this stage is whether Germany will give the ECB the freedom of maneuver needed to carry out this monetary expansion with sufficient boldness. Though QE cannot produce long-term growth, it can do much to end the ongoing recession that has …Read More
