0 Comments

Gros, D., (2013), “The Myth of German Euroskepticism”, Project Syndicate, 09 Οκτωβρίου. For example, a recent briefing note by Open Europe claims that German citizens tend to trust the European Parliament less than their national parliament and detects a trend of declining German trust in EU institutions since the start of the crisis.

Buti, M. and Padoan, P.C., (2013), “How to make Europe’s incipient recovery durable – A rejoinder”, VoxEU, 08 Οκτωβρίου. Our recent Vox column triggered an interesting and lively debate (see for instance Krugman, 2013; Fatas, 2013; Watt, 2013).

Soros, G., (2013), “Angela Merkel’s Pyrrhic Victory”, Project Syndicate, 07 Οκτωβρίου. As far as Germany is concerned, the drama of the euro crisis is over. The subject was barely discussed in the country’s recent election campaign.

Mercille, J., (2013), “European Media Distort the Lessons of Argentina’s Crisis and Recovery”, Social Europe Journal, 07 Οκτωβρίου. The European media have distorted the lessons of Argentina’s relatively successful response to its own economic crisis a decade ago, as newly published research documents in detail.

Hugh, E., (2013), “Can demography explain Portugal’s growth slump before the crash?”, A Fistful Of Euros Blog, 06 Οκτωβρίου. The issue being raised revolves around the current acceleration of emigration from countries on the EU periphery, largely towards the EU core.
