The Political Economy of the Greek Debt Crisis: A Tale of Two Bailouts

Ardagna, S. & Caselli, F. (2015) “The Political Economy of the Greek Debt Crisis: A Tale of Two Bailouts“, Centre for Economic Performance Special Paper, Special Paper No. 25, Ιανουάριος 2014.

 

We review the events that led to the May 2010 and July 2011 bailout agreements. We interpret the bailouts as outcomes of political-economy equilibria. We argue that these equilibria were likely not on the Pareto frontier, and sketch political-economy arguments for why collective policy making in the Euro area may lead to suboptimal outcomes.
