The rise of intangible income: A global value chain perspective
The long-run decline in the income share of labour in GDP is one of the most debated macroeconomic trends in recent years. The trend is widely shared across industries and countries (Dao et al. 2017). At the same time, ‘factorless income’ is on the rise. This is the residual that remains after subtracting measured payments to labour and imputed cost of capital from GDP (Karabarbounis and Neiman 2018). Some interpret this trend as an increase...

Paper Lanterns
Mud Volcanoes There are numerous explanations for just what in the heck is going on with the economy. Some are good. Many are bad. Today we’ll do our part to bring clarity to disorder… Two data series it is worth paying attention to at the moment: the unemployment rate (U3) and initial claims. As the chart at the top shows, when the former makes a low it is time to worry about the economy. Low points in the U3 UE rate slightly lead the...

Les gilets jaunes
For weeks, protesters wearing yellow motorist vests have taken to the streets of Paris to protest against the rising price of fuel. They have since taken on a wider role, and are seen as symbols of the growing popular discontent with President Macron. Silvia Merler reviews scholars’ opinions about this movement. Branko Milanovic thinks that the recent French event raises two important issues. The first issue is “new”. Proponents of...

The Eurozone and the United States are set for a future of low growth unless they rethink their approach to monetary policy
While European economies have recovered to an extent from the financial crisis, many observers still regard this recovery as underwhelming. Based on research presented to the European Parliament, Eddie Gerba argues that unless there is a major rethink on monetary and fiscal policy, advanced economies may be faced with low growth, income disparities, and a deficient financial system in the years to come. The euro area economy has undergone...

A behavioural economic case for Brexit
Is there an economic case for Brexit after all? Superficially, it seems not. Almost all serious economists agree that less close trading arrangements with the EU and tougher immigration controls will make us poorer than we would otherwise be even in the event of a smooth Brexit, and the Minfordians protestations to the contrary are not credible. Behavioural economics, however, suggests there might be a case. This rests upon two pillars. Pillar...

Be braced for more chaos, but give thanks to the Bank 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.

Un samedi à Paris – De la violence en démocratie
Share the post "Un samedi à Paris – De la violence en démocratie" Je n’ai pas une âme de manifestante. Bien qu’ayant grandi entre Bastille et République, sur la trajectoire de toutes les grandes manif parisiennes, je n’ai pas été éduquée sous des banderoles ou dans l’odeur des merguez des grands rassemblements militants. Et malgré mes idées politiques, je n’ai jamais fait grève, et j’ai dû manifester quatre ou cinq...

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...

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...

Global Rebalancing
Prior to the Global Financial Crisis the world economy experienced a period of increasing global imbalances where a group of countries saw their surpluses increase rapidly while, on the other side, a group of countries increased their deficits. These patterns were partly related to the "saving glut" hypothesis put forward by Ben Bernanke to explain the decline in global long-term real interest rates. It was also the case that some of...
