  Dimitri B. Papadimitriou
  Abstract

  Ο ερευνητής Greg Hannsgen και ο πρόεδρος Δημήτρης Β. Παπαδημητρίου διαψεύδουν τους ισχυρισμούς από τους σκεπτικιστές της Κοινωνικής Ασφάλισης ότι το πρόγραμμα δεν είναι τίποτα περισσότερο από ένα «σχέδιο Πόνζι».

  Not Your Father’s Recession

  Dimitri B. Papadimitriou
  Abstract

  President Dimitri B. Papadimitriou and Research Scholar Greg Hannsgen make the case that the recession has turned into a prolonged and very unusual slump in growth, preventing a labor-market recovery—and the government lags far behind in creating the new jobs needed to deal with this disaster.

  Δεν πρόκειται για τη συνηθισμένη ύφεση

  Dimitri B. Papadimitriou
  Abstract

  Ο πρόεδρος Δημήτρης Β. Παπαδημητρίου και ο Μελετητής Έρευνας Greg Hannsgen επιχειρηματολογούν ότι η οικονομική υποχώρηση έχει μετατρα̟πεί σε μια παρατεταμένη και πολύ ασυνήθιστη κάμψη της ανάπτυξης, αποτρέποντας μια ανάκαμψη της αγοράς εργασίας—και η κυβέρνηση βρίσκεται πολύ ̟πίσω στην προσπάθεια της δημιουργίας των νέων θέσεων εργασίας που απαιτούνται για να αντιπετωπιστεί αυτή η καταστροφή.

  Investing in Social Care Delivery

  Rania Antonopoulos, Ajit Zacharias, Thomas Masterson, and Kijong Kim
  Abstract

  There is little mystery to explaining our current high levels of unemployment. The Bureau of Economic Analysis recently revised its figures on GDP growth, and revealed that not only was the recession worse than we realized, but recent growth rates have been overstated as well. The hole, in other words, was deeper than we thought, […]

  Will the Recovery Continue?

  Dimitri B. Papadimitriou
  Abstract

  With quantitative easing winding down and the latest payroll tax-cut measures set to expire at the end of this year, pressing questions loom about the current state of the US economic recovery and its ability to sustain itself in the absence of support from monetary and fiscal policy.

  Did Problems with SSDI Cause the Output-Jobs Disconnect?

  Abstract

  The slow recovery of the job market after the recessions of 2001 and 2007–09 has fostered concerns that the link between output growth and job creation has been severed. Between 2000 and 2010, the employment rate for males plunged from 71.9 to 63.7 percent—a decline that can be accounted for almost entirely by a fall […]

  It’s Time to Rein In the Fed

  L. Randall Wray, and Scott Fullwiler
  Abstract

  The economic crisis that has gripped the US economy since 2007 has highlighted Congress’s limited oversight of the Federal Reserve, and the limited transparency of the Fed’s actions. And since a Fed promise is ultimately a Treasury promise that carries the full faith and credit of the US government, the question is, Should the Fed […]

  Reserve Currencies and the Dollar’s Role in Containing Global Imbalances

  Jan Kregel
  Abstract

  The stability of the international reserve currency’s purchasing power is less a question of what serves as that currency and more a question of the international adjustment mechanism, as well as the compatibility of export-led development strategies with international payment balances. Export-led growth and free capital flows are the real causes of sustained international imbalances. […]

  Minsky’s View of Capitalism and Banking in America

  L. Randall Wray
  Abstract

  Before we can reform the financial system, we need to understand what banks do—or, better yet, what banks should do. Senior Scholar L. Randall Wray examines Hyman Minsky’s views on banking and the proper role of the financial system—not simply to finance investment in physical capital but to promote the “capital development” of the economy […]

  Preventing Another Crisis

  Dimitri B. Papadimitriou
  Abstract

  There is no justification for the belief that cutting spending or raising taxes by any amount will reduce the federal deficit, let alone permit solid growth. The worst fears about recent stimulative policies and rapid money-supply growth are proving to be incorrect once again. We must find the will to reinvigorate government and to maintain […]

  Is the Eurozone Doomed?

  Dimitri B. Papadimitriou, L. Randall Wray, and Yeva Nersisyan
  Abstract

  The trillion-dollar rescue package European leaders aimed at the continent’s growing debt crisis in May might well have been code-named Panacea. Stocks rose throughout the region, but the reprieve was short-lived: markets fell on the realization that the bailout would not improve government finances going forward. The entire rescue plan rests on the assumption that […]

  Είναι καταδικασμένη η ευρωζώνη;

  Dimitri B. Papadimitriou, L. Randall Wray, and Yeva Nersisyan
  Abstract

  Το ενός τρισεκατομυρρίων δολαρίων πακέτο διάσωσης που προώθησαν οι ευρωπαίοι ηγέτες τον Μαη του 2010 και που στοχεύει στην αντιμετώπιση της αυξανόμενης κρίση χρέους της ηπείρου, θα μπορούσε κάλλιστα να φέρει το κωδικό όνομα Πανάκεια. Ανέβηκαν οι μετοχές σε όλη την επικράτεια και έπεσαν ακόμη και τα επιτόκια για τα ελληνικά ομόλογα. Η ανάπαυλα όμως […]

  “The Spectre of Banking”

  Martin Mayer
  Abstract

  A year and a half after the collapse in the financial markets, the debate about necessary “reforms” is still in its early stages, and none of the debaters seriously claims that his solution will in fact prevent a new crisis. The problem is that the proposed remedies deal with superficial matters of industrial organization and […]

  Reforms Without Politicians

  Jan Kregel
  Abstract

  Congress is currently debating new regulations for financial institutions in an effort to avoid a repeat of the recent crisis that brought the banking system to the brink. Some of those proposed changes would be valuable. But what nobody seems to have noticed is that the government already has the power to address some of […]

  A Balancing Act

  Dimitri B. Papadimitriou
  Abstract

  Now that America’s financial institutions have been brought back from the brink, the greatest threat to global economic stability is the gigantic trade imbalance between the United States, China, and other trading partners. A second big threat to economic stability, in the longer run, is global warming. Both problems are related to America’s addiction to […]
