The rise of robots in the German labour market
Wolfgang Dauth, Sebastian Findeisen, Jens Südekum, Nicole Woessner 19 September 2017 The fear of an imminent wave of technological unemployment is again one of the dominant economic memes of our time. The popular narrative often goes as follows – as software and artificial intelligence advance, production processes (especially in manufacturing) become increasingly automated. Workers can be replaced by new and...

21st Century Shoe-Shine Boys
Anecdotal Flags are Waved “If a shoeshine boy can predict where this market is going to go, then it’s no place for a man with a lot of money to lose.” – Joseph Kennedy It is actually a true story as far as we know – Joseph Kennedy, by all accounts an extremely shrewd businessman and investor (despite the fact that he had graduated in economics*), really did get his shoes shined on Wall Street one fine morning, and the shoe-shine boy, one...

Trump and the Paris Agreement: better out than in
It would be better for international climate governance if Trump stays out of the Paris Agreement, rather than stays in with a new, weakened deal. The United States administration appears to be rethinking its 1 June 2017 decision to withdraw from the Paris Agreement on climate change. US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, for example, has signalled a shift in tone from the Trump administration, declaring that the US could remain in the...

Six things to know about the German election
Ahead of Germany’s federal election on 24 September, Manès Weisskircher highlights six things to know as voters go to the polls. While many observers are expecting a clear victory for Angela Merkel’s CDU/CSU, the performance of smaller parties will also be keenly followed as it is highly likely there will be as many as seven parties (including the CSU) represented in the Bundestag. Angela Merkel, Credit: Markus Spiske (CC BY 2.0) Next Sunday,...

Economics Professors See Little Difference between Germany’s Right and Left-Wing Parties
German economics professors see only minor differences between the right-wing CDU/CSU and left-wing SPD in many policy areas. These are the results of the latest Economists Panel jointly conducted by the ifo Institute and the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. German economists find few policy differences between the two parties in areas like fiscal policy and taxes, the environment, as well as family and educational policy. In the labour market...

UK vs US capitalism
Frances Coppola says that in developed economies: Wages have not kept pace with productivity for the whole of the 21st century. Workers' wages simply don't reflect their marginal productivity any more. However, this is perhaps not so true in the UK as it is in the US. My first chart compares the real wages of full-time men in skilled trades (which I'm using as a proxy for median wages)* to labour productivity. This shows that since data...

The Bank can't afford to cry wolf on rates again Posted by David Smith at 09:00 AMCategory: David Smith's other articles My regular column is available to subscribers on www.thesundaytimes.co.uk This is an excerpt.

Defeat Is an Orphan
Victory has a thousand fathers, they say, while defeat is an orphan. Perhaps, but defeat has a way of generating countless attributions of paternity. One sees this phenomenon at work right now on the far right and the far left.On the far right, Louis Aliot has launched an all-out attack on Florian Philippot. With Marine Le Pen herself under attack within the party, she seems to have chosen her partner as designated hitter to fasten the blame...

Modern politics
Just look around, this is what life is like for most:Kids are born, play in the kitchen while mothers meet with old friends and maternity friends. But there are more exciting friends down the street. At pre-school the rough kids barge, the smart dressed kids play in bubbles of invention. At first school there is acceptance and rejection. The play is real games where smart kids know the rules and rough kids have minions. Girls chose their...

Bicycles and bans are reshaping the city
THE quayside roads that wind along the Seine used to throb with hurtling traffic. Today, potted palm trees have been ranged along the tarmac. Joggers and cyclists enjoy the waterside calm. On a stretch of the right bank opposite the Eiffel Tower formerly used as a convenient express route, cars have been squeezed into a single lane, leaving the other to bicycles. Over the centuries, the French capital has been the backdrop to many warring...

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...

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...

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...

Make the Risk Premium small again
In one my previous posts I looked at the stock market valuations in the US to conclude that they were in line with recent historical data. In fact the stock market looked cheap relative to most years since the mid 1980s.But that was before the US election! Since the election the stock market has gone up and interest rates have gone up as well. How do stock market valuations look like today?I follow the same methodology of the previous post and...
