Jahrzehntelang basierte das deutsche Wachstumsmodell darauf, die Binnennachfrage zu bremsen und der Exportindustrie Handelsvorteile zu verschaffen. Damit könnte nun Schluss sein.

A book with the title 'Mastering Machine Learning' is full of nonexistent and error-prone citations, likely generated by LLMs like ChatGPT.

In a new MPIfG Discussion Paper, @fbulfone.bsky.social, @m-stratenwerth.bsky.social, and @aritassinari.bsky.social trace the growth trajectories of Greece, Italy, Portugal, and Spain from the financial crisis to the covid pandemic. ‬

Title page "Shifting Paths? The Evolution of Southern European Growth Trajectories Between the Global Financial Crisis and the Covid Pandemic." Authors Fabio Bulfone, Mischa Stratenwerth, and Adrianna Tassinari Abstract Keywords: Comparative political economy, economic sectors, export growth, growth models, post-austerity, Southern Europe This paper traces the growth trajectories of the Southern European economies (Greece, Italy, Portugal, and Spain) from the financial to the covid crisis. From a review of the comparative political economy literature focusing on Southern Europe, we derive three propositions regarding the growth profile, the development of high value-added services and manufacturing exports, and employment outcomes. To assess the accuracy of these propositions, we conduct growth decompositions based on import-adjusted demand components as well as on sectoral output and employment indicators. The data show that Southern European economies are similar in that export-led growth has not been sufficient to boost aggregate growth, stimulate high value-added services or manufacturing, reverse pro-cyclical employment declines, or create high-wage employment opportunities. But the Southern European economies also differ, both in terms of their sectoral growth profiles and their aggregate performance. In the second half of the decade, Portugal and Spain managed to combine domestic demand and exports to achieve stronger growth than Italy and Greece. Sectoral developments in Portugal and Spain (and to a lesser extent in Italy) tentatively suggest a potential “Iberian growth path” that is compatible with euro area constraints but ultimately peripheral. The paper concludes by considering the empirical and theoretical implications of these findings for the study of the Southern European model of capitalism.

I have a new article out on wage-earner funds, a famous attempt at economic democracy in Sweden in the 70s & 80s. It explores the funds' defeat, emphasising the issue's stronger resonance with businesses compared to workers & the Social Democratic Party

Very much looking forward to @ebharrington.bsky.social's lecture on 'Secrecy and Kleptocracy' @mpifg.bsky.social today.

Along with her scholarly work, I also enjoyed her Daily Show visit—smart, engaging, and a great example of making social science accessible.

One takeaway from DE's massive budget announcements yesterday: it’s now clear that EU fiscal rules will have to be adapted to the reality of structurally higher spending needs.

It's either that or we keep pulling national escape clauses until the rulebook is little more than an empty shell.

The 25-year cycle where Germany is either the model nation for the West or the sick man of Europe has turned again. No more learning from the Germans, it's back to being completely and utterly hopeless.
