Fuertes Α.-Μ., Kalotychou , Ε. & Saka, Ο. (2014) “ECB Policy and Eurozone Fragility: Was De Grauwe Right?“, Economic Policy, CEPS Working Documents, 20 Ιουνίου.
The authors test Paul De Grauwe’s eurozone fragility hypothesis using a time window around the announcement of the Outright Monetary Transactions (OMT) programme. The findings reveal significant contagion from Spain to other eurozone countries, but solely during the pre-announcement period. The authors conclude that in this case the OMT programme has succeeded in mitigating the self-fulfilling dynamics within the eurozone.
