At our conference, we will focus on progressive perspectives to face these challenges. What can macroeconomists from different schools of thought contribute to these debates?
In this paper, we analyse the recent inflation period (2021-2023) in the case of France. We first study the cost-push dimension of inflation with an Input-Output price model (Leontief price model) using the methodology developed by Weber et al (2024) for the USA, which we extend to include the sensitivity of the CPI to import prices; this allows us to identify, in the case of France, the ‘systemically significant’ sectors as defined by Weber et al (2024) (after Hockett & Omarova (2016)).
This paper is about fiscal consolidation measures (i.e. tax hikes and government spending cuts motivated by a desire to reduce the fiscal deficit and public debt) in euro area (EA) countries.
This paper investigates the impact of different varieties of capitalism (VoC) on societal happiness. It begins with a critique of Neoclassical welfare economics which emphasizes Pareto optimality, and it argues for focusing on reported societal happiness.
The strong increase in inflation rates in Europe at the end of 2022 is in stark contrast to more than a decade of very low developments within the euro area. This time, profit hikes are under more scrutiny than wage increases.
