How to avoid a double-dip recession in the eurozone

De Grauwe, Paul, (2012), ‘How to avoid a double-dip recession in the eurozone’, www.ceps.be, 17 Νοεμβρίου.

This CEPS Commentary argues that the way in which the burden of adjustment to the imbalances in the eurozone is borne almost exclusively by the deficit countries in the periphery produces a deflationary bias in the region as a whole. Against the threat of double-dip recession, Paul De Grauwe asserts that the adjustment could be done differently and calls for implementation of a more symmetric macroeconomic policy that reduces the deflationary bias
