A revealing look at austerity measures that succeed-and those that
don't Fiscal austerity is hugely controversial. Opponents argue
that it can trigger downward growth spirals and become
self-defeating. Supporters argue that budget deficits have to be
tackled aggressively at all times and at all costs. Bringing needed
clarity to one of today's most challenging economic issues, three
leading policy experts cut through the political noise to
demonstrate that there is not one type of austerity but many.
Austerity assesses the relative effectiveness of tax increases and
spending cuts at reducing debt, shows that austerity is not
necessarily the kiss of death for political careers as is often
believed, and charts a sensible approach based on data analysis
rather than ideology.
Was the European Union ever a liberal dream? How did the common
market impact the liberalization in its member states? Has the EU
fostered more or less economic freedom in the Old Continent? This
book explores the intellectual and political genesis of the
European Union, focusing especially on its relationship to
classical liberalism. It explains how the new enthusiasm for
liberalization associated with Reagan and Thatcher helped revive
the European project in the 1980s, while providing some insights on
the current challenges Europe is facing as a result of the
financial crisis and the Covid-19 pandemic. The contributors
highlight the role of liberal, pro-market ideas played in shaping
the EU, the single market and the euro, and how these should be
coming into play again if the European project is to be reanimated.
This volume originates from a conference the Italian think tank
Istituto Bruno Leoni hosted in 2019 and is dedicated to Alberto
Giovannini (1955-2019). Giovannini was an influential
macroeconomist and financial economist. His vast legacy of studies
and ideas prompted this book in his honor, on the occasion of his
untimely passing away.

The topics covered in this volume fall into four categories:
exchange rates, global business cycles, the financial crisis, and
unemployment and the Great Recession. The chapters included look at
a model developed to analyze the use of capital-account policies to
peg the real exchange rate and assess various models for
forecasting the Euro to US dollar exchange rate during the recent
financial crisis. Other chapters explore the impact on trade flows
and the desirability and effects of official bailouts and the
unemployment experience during the Great Recession, its propagation
and the sluggish road to recovery.
A timely and incisive look at austerity measures that succeed-and
those that don't Fiscal austerity is hugely controversial.
Opponents argue that it can trigger downward growth spirals and
become self-defeating. Supporters argue that budget deficits have
to be tackled aggressively at all times and at all costs. In this
masterful book, three of today's leading policy experts cut through
the political noise to demonstrate that there is not one type of
austerity but many. Looking at thousands of fiscal measures adopted
by sixteen advanced economies since the late 1970s, Austerity
assesses the relative effectiveness of tax increases and spending
cuts at reducing debt. It shows that spending cuts have much
smaller costs in terms of output losses than tax increases.
Spending cuts can sometimes be associated with output gains in the
case of expansionary austerity and are much more successful than
tax increases at reducing the growth of debt. The authors also show
that austerity is not necessarily the kiss of death for political
careers as is often believed, and provide new insights into the
recent cases of European austerity after the financial crisis.
Bringing needed clarity to one of today's most challenging
subjects, Austerity charts a sensible approach based on data
analysis rather than ideology.
The Maastricht Treaty, signed in December 1991, set a timetable for
the European Community's economic and monetary union (EMU) and
clearly defined the institutional policy changes necessary for its
achievement. Subsequent developments have demonstrated, however,
the importance of many key issues in the transition to EMU that
were largely neglected at the time. This volume reports the
proceedings of a joint CEPR conference with the Banco de Portugal,
held in January 1992. In these papers, leading international
experts address the instability of the transition to EMU, the
long-run implications of monetary union and the single market for
growth and convergence in Europe. They also consider the prospects
for inflation and fiscal convergence, regional policy and the
integration of financial markets and fiscal systems. Attention
focuses on adjustment mechanisms with differentiated shocks,
region-specific business cycles and excessive industrial
concentration and the cases for a two-speed EMU and fiscal
federalism.

The European Monetary System (EMS) has, since its inception in
1979, provided a fascinating example of policy co-ordination in
practice. As concern about exchange-rate instability and global
economic imbalances has grown, both academic researchers and
policy-makers have looked to the EMS for lessons about co-operation
on a wider scale. This volume contains the papers and proceedings
of an October 1987 conference organised by the Centre for Economic
Policy Research in co-operation with the Banca d'Italia and the
Centro Interuniversitario di Studi Teorici per la Politica
Economica (STEP). The conference brought together distinguished
academics and practitioners from eleven European central banks. The
papers offer a timely summary of current research, while the
concluding panel discussion provides a valuable perspective on the
concerns of policy-makers. This will be the definitive publication
on the EMS for some years to come, and hence a basic reference for
anyone interested in the international monetary system and policy
co-ordination.
The International Seminar on Macroeconomics (ISoM) has met annually
in Europe for thirty years. The papers included in the 2006 volume
discuss the relationship between prices and productivity in the
OECD; monetary policy impact on inflation and output; implications
of rising government debt; the relationship between consumption and
labor market tightness; variation in real wages over the business
cycle; production sharing and business cycle synchronization in
accession countries; and, pension systems and the allocation of
macroeconomic risk.The 2007 papers discuss interest-setting and
central bank transparency; expectations, monetary policy, and
traded good prices; public investment and the golden rule; the role
of institutions, confidence, and trusts in financial integration
within EU countries; international portfolios with supply, demand,
and redistributive shocks; transmission and stabilization in closed
and open economies; capital flows and asset prices; and, welfare
implications of financial globalization without financial
development.

The NBER International Seminar on Macroeconomics brings together
leadingAmerican and European economists to discuss a broad range of
current issues inglobal macroeconomics. An international companion
to the more American-focused NBERMacroeconomics Annual, this
particular volume offers cutting-edge research onmonetary and
fiscal policy responses to macroeconomic fluctuations, with
specialemphasis on tailoring a single monetary policy for the
diverse economies that makeup the European Monetary Union. The
individual papers examine such topics as whetherrule-based monetary
policy should target price levels or inflation rates; how
muchcyclical correlation across countries can be attributed to
transmission betweenmultinational companies and their international
affiliates; the different effects ofmonetary policy in high-debt
and low-debt countries; and the prospects for the ten2004 entrants
to the European Union, based on the experiences of EU entrants of
the1980s.
