Financial fragility after #COVID19
Before the pandemic hit, a substantial share of households reported that they would be unable to handle a financial emergency. In some EU countries, many had savings equivalent to just a few weeks of basic consumption. By: The Sound of Economics Date: July 2, 2020 Topic: European Macroeconomics & Governance In this episode we discuss financial fragility in European households in the time of COVID-19.

Time for a regime change in Frankfurt
In recent years, the European Central Bank’s (ECB) monetary policy has been half of what is necessary, two years late. To get eurozone inflation back to its ‘close to 2 per cent’ target, the ECB needs to be much bolder. The ECB’s meeting on March 10th is shaping up to be one of its most anticipated. Inflation remains far below target and market expectations of future inflation have hardened at very low levels, indicating that investors have...

What football teaches us
I was a little perplexed by Tom Chivers' nice defence of his love of football. For me, any defence can only be a rationalization: my love of the game long preceded the acquisition of whatever feeble reason I possess. Nevertheless, there is a lot that Tom has left out. Albert Camus famously said that "what I know most surely about morality and the duty of man I owe to sport and learned it in the Racing Universitaire Algerios." He...

The Romanian Palimpsest
The foreigner in Romania is immediately struck by the country’s hybrid culture. This is obvious from the first words one learns to garble: piața (very close pronunciation to Italian’s piazza), mersi (from the French merci, though the “r” is a little more rolled), da (yes…), or even bacşiş (baksheesh). We then have a mysterious mélange of Western and Eastern Europe, the Romanian roots are decidedly mixed. Like in any country, the stages of...

IIF Annual Meetings: US Economic Outlook
I joined Beth Ann Bovino, Jonathan Pingle and Elina Ribakova this week to speak on a panel about the US Economic Outlook at the IIF Annual Meetings, which usually occur alongside the IMF/WB meetings. We discussed what indicators we’re watching closely to see when we may have found a bottom, how the US has handled the shock to the labour market (compared with Europe), whether we should worry about inflation, prospects for the oil market and...

ifo Institute: Economic Experts Fear Tariff War Will Shrink World Trade
International economic experts fear that the tariff war between the US, China, and Europe will lead to a decline in world trade. This is the result of the World Economic Survey conducted by the ifo Institute among 1,130 economists worldwide. When asked to name the most significant consequence of the higher tariffs, the predominant answer was “less trade.” This answer scored 1.7 on a scale of 1 to 3, where 1...

Alberto Bagnai – Il Fatto Quotidiano
Guardate questo breve scambio su Twitter: Paolo Cirino Pomicino sostiene che l’entrata nell’euro non fu di per sé un errore: l’errore fu entrarci al cambio sbagliato. Alla richiesta di precisare quale sarebbe stato quello giusto, precisa: “poco più della metà”. Insomma, il cambio corretto, secondo Cirino Pomicino, sarebbe stato di circa 1000 lire per euro (la conversazione, se interessa, è qui). Qualcuno penserà: “Chiacchiere del sabato...

Explaining the uneven demand for EU parliamentary oversight during the Eurozone crisis
The Eurozone crisis increased calls for institutional reform and closer parliamentary oversight of the EU’s crisis managers. As Federica Genovese and Gerald Schneider show, the national demand for increased parliamentary scrutiny crucially hinged on the exposure to the crisis and the domestic leeway in fighting it. A frequent phenomenon in times of economic crisis is that the fight between contending social groups over who should shoulder the...

Remdesivir: Major drug to fight coronavirus made by China before Pandemic.
Remdesivir is one of the few products that has been approved for use against COVID19 (See NICE Approval based on clinical data in May and June). The USA has just purchased Gilead's global supply of Remdesivir (Guardian). BrightGene, a company owned by Jiang Zhicheng, the grandson of the former president of China, Jiang Zemin, began manufacturing Remdesivir at the start of the coronavirus pandemic (See for instance Time Magazine Feb 12th)....

EU Basics – Your Guide to the UK Referendum on EU Membership
By Professor Richard A. Werner, D.Phil. (Oxon) 20 June 2016 The British people should be clear about just what they will be voting on at the EU referendum this Thursday. What does it actually mean to stay in the EU? What does it mean to exit? Concerning the second question, the dominant issue in the debate has been the question whether there will be a significant negative economic impact on the UK from exiting the EU. Prime Minister David...

A lockdown opera pays tribute to a political prisoner in Turkey
Jul 4th 2020IN A PRISON outside Istanbul, Osman, an inmate held in solitary confinement, finds two snails nestled in his lunch. Longing for company, he decides to look after the gastropods, feeding them lettuce and rice. The snails reward him—with a song. “In some kitchens, we’d end up in a pot with garlic butter and seasoning,” they chant. “Our luck to be here with Osman, a man of such honour and reason.” But even a snail is bound to find...

The shortest recession ever – unemployment will be below 6% in November
After US unemployment rose to nearly 15% (in April) I wrote a blog post forecasting unemployment would be back below 6% in November. That got me a lot of attention and a lot of suggestions for bets on the numbers (I have accepted a lot of these wagers). Today, we got the US labor market report for May. It is a massive confirmation on my bullish call on the US labor market. US (non-farm) employment rose by 3 million in May and...

Racial inequality and artistic enterprise in the US
The US is home to many of the world’s most important artists, who contribute not only to the creativity and innovative quality of American society, but also shape cultural heritage globally. Relatively few professional artists in the US are black. Urban development emerges, in part, from being an attractive ‘consumer city’ for highly-skilled people (Glaeser 2001), and the presence of creative people, in particular of artists, may enhance this...
