OOH, do we measure inflation correctly?
Kantoos Economics 1 Week, 1 Day, 3 Hours, 11 Minutes ago
I am very glad to welcome this guest contribution by David Lizoain on how to measure inflation correctly in the Eurozone. It is a difficult, and at times dry topic, but I encourage you all to read David’s excellent summary of the issues below.
The Economist on German macroprudential regulation
Kantoos Economics 1 Week, 6 Days, 17 Hours, 14 Minutes ago
The Economist picks up the same issue as I have in my last two posts: is it possible for individual countries to employ macroprudential regulation to counteract monetary policy nationally? Is it useful if Germany does so? Here are some bits, but do r...
How should we divide AD in Europe? Some responses.
Kantoos Economics 2 Weeks, 21 Hours, 31 Minutes ago
Tim Duy, one of the best Fed-watchers out there (this was a hint for my German readers, elsewhere everybody knows this anyway), has a very good response to my last post in which I asked Paul Krugman for help, basically on how to divide aggregate dema...
A European macro-question for Paul Krugman
Kantoos Economics 2 Weeks, 2 Days, 19 Hours, 43 Minutes ago
What do you do, when a (macroeconomic) debate is hard to settle? Well, you can either leave it at that, and agree to disagree. Or you can try to find a referee to settle it for you. I will try the second route today, and I hope that Paul is willing t...
The Julis-Rabinowitz Center for Public Policy and Finance
Kantoos Economics 2 Weeks, 5 Days ago
Markus Brunnermeier, one of Germany’s best economists, is the director of a new research center at Princeton University, the JRC. Their inaugural conference “European Crisis: Historical Parallels and Economic Lessons” is now online,...
Euro-Tsunami, UK
Kantoos Economics 2 Weeks, 6 Days, 23 Hours, 20 Minutes ago
Nur ein kurzer Eintrag heute, aber es gibt so viele interessante Dinge da draußen zu lesen, da muss ich einfach mal auf zwei hinweisen. Patrick Bernau stellt in der FAS in Auszügen sein neues Buch (“Euro-Tsunami”) vor, das unter anderen...
Rebalancing, monetary policy and ESBies
Kantoos Economics 1 Month, 1 Week, 3 Days, 7 Hours, 35 Minutes ago
Part 1 Guntram Wolff has a short post over at Bruegel on European rebalancing, which fits well with my recent posts (one, two, three) on Germany’s current account surplus. He writes: If we assume that productivity in this period will grow by ar...
What would a European government do?
Kantoos Economics 1 Month, 2 Weeks, 13 Hours, 34 Minutes ago
Simon Wren-Lewis has an excellent post over at Mainly Macro, in part a reaction to my two recent posts. He discusses three aspects of the Eurocrisis: 1. austerity (based on the DeLong/Summers paper) in general, 2. its implications for Europe, and 3.
Policies against a German CA surplus
Kantoos Economics 1 Month, 2 Weeks, 4 Days, 10 Hours, 37 Minutes ago
My recent post on Germany’s CA surplus has received some (mostly critical) attention by Ryan Avent (The Economist) on Twitter and Andrew Watt (European Trade Union Institute) in the Social Europe Journal. Both raise fair points, but I am not co...
Does Germany want a CA surplus?
Kantoos Economics 1 Month, 3 Weeks, 4 Hours, 43 Minutes ago
Ryan Avent has a post on Europe’s competitiveness crisis (among others) and how the periphery could adjust its price and ages level. I want to shortly discuss one aspect: “Fiscal devaluation” is another option. If the periphery rais...
FAZ und Tim Duy zur Geldpolitik
Kantoos Economics 1 Month, 3 Weeks, 6 Hours, 55 Minutes ago
Wie sich die Sichtweisen unterscheiden können. Für die FAZ berichtet Partick Welter von einer Konferenz, genau wie Tim Duy. Während Patrick sich mit eigener Bewertung zurück hält, aber durchaus seine Sympathien durchblicken lässt, lässt Tim ke...
Dirk Elsner über Blogs
Kantoos Economics 1 Month, 3 Weeks, 15 Hours, 16 Minutes ago
Dirk ist mit meinem Eintrag “Europeans can’t blog?” garnicht einverstanden. Sein Argument ist, dass gerade mein Beispiel doch zeigt, wie gut die Blogosphäre funktioniert. Es freut mich natürlich sehr, dass er dies so wahr nimmt. A...
Der Sinn ökonomischer Modelle
Kantoos Economics 1 Month, 3 Weeks, 3 Days, 5 Hours, 59 Minutes ago
Hier auf dem Blog und anderswo ist die moderne VWL wiederholt massiv kritisiert worden. Ich war immer in der etwas merkwürdigen Position, sie verteidigen zu müssen, obwohl ich ihr in Teilen selbst kritisch gegenüberstehe. Ein neues Buch, “Th...
Europeans can’t blog?!
Kantoos Economics 1 Month, 4 Weeks, 7 Hours, 58 Minutes ago
Well, the guys at Bruegel’s new blog know how to blog, that is for sure: make an eye-catching claim and try to outrage the blogosphere. But they are right, unfortunately, Europeans can’t blog. For those who are new to the topic, the inoff...
Wie eine berechtigte Kritik an Target-2 aussähe
Kantoos Economics 2 Months, 2 Days, 14 Hours, 56 Minutes ago
Hans Werner Sinn ist weiter auf publizistischer Tour, um seine Thesen über Target-2 und den Kapitaltransfer ans Mittelmeer zu verteidigen. Nun ist er ein ganz erfahrener Teilnehmer öffentlicher Debatten, und wählt seine Worte so, dass er gehört w...
Sind ESBies so schwer zu verstehen?!
Kantoos Economics 2 Months, 2 Weeks, 3 Days, 20 Hours, 28 Minutes ago
Ein Kommentator hatte darum gebeten, dass ich Euch zumindest mit ein paar kurzen Einträgen a la Marginal Revolution versorge, wenn ich längere Beitrage gerade nicht schaffe. Vielleicht keine schlechte Idee… Hans-Christian Müller schreibt im...
Noch nicht eingeschlafen
Kantoos Economics 2 Months, 3 Weeks, 1 Day, 17 Hours, 39 Minutes ago
Liebe Leser, es ist wohl einmal an der Zeit, mich für meine Abwesenheit zu entschuldigen. Leider erlauben mir meine anderen Verpflichtungen im Moment nicht, viel zu schreiben. Das ist schon seit einiger Zeit so, ist allerdings gerade besonders akut.
2 Links zum Wochenende
Kantoos Economics 3 Months, 5 Days, 18 Hours, 29 Minutes ago
Heute nur zwei Links zum Wochenende: Mark Schieritz zu Target-2 (ich sehe es ähnlich wie er),  und Gerald Braunberger zur Geldmenge, was sich schön an Henry’s letzten Beitrag anschließt. Einsortiert unter:Finanzmarkt, Makro, Presse Tagged:...
The liquidity trap, monetary policy, and inflation expectations (help needed)
Kantoos Economics 3 Months, 1 Week, 5 Days, 15 Hours, 42 Minutes ago
By Henry Kaspar One joy of blogging is that it provides an opportunity to present thoughts to a diverse, expert audience, and to see to whether the thoughts survive scrutiny. This post is different: I will ask readers for help with a puzzle that cont...
Where is the monotony?!
Kantoos Economics 3 Months, 2 Weeks, 2 Days, 10 Hours, 34 Minutes ago
[Update: Roger Farmer wrote a short reply in the comment section (where you will also find other very interesting contributions).] Noah Smith’s recent post on Jim Bullard of the St. Louis Fed and his take on Keynesian arguments is a very interestin...
