The Causes of Post-War Slumps and Miracles. An Evaluation of Olsonian Views on German Economic Performance in the 1920s and the 1950s

Paqué, Karl-Heinz - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 1994

This paper examines whether the different macroeconomic performances of the German economy in two post-war decades provide evidence for the theory (first advanced by Mancur Olson) that sharp institutional breaks are conducive to economic growth because they destroy the existing network of...

Social Conflict and Growth in Euroland

De Grauwe, Paul; Skudelny, Frauke - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 1999

This paper contributes to the literature on the differences in the transmission processes within Euroland.

Economic Growth and Political Integration: Estimating the Benefits from Membership in the European Union Using the Synthetic Counterfactuals Method

Campos, Nauro F; Coricelli, Fabrizio; Moretti, Luigi - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2014

This paper presents new estimates of the economic benefits from economic and political integration. Using the synthetic counterfactuals method, we estimate how GDP per capita and labour productivity would have behaved for the countries that joined the European Union (EU) in the 1973, 1980s, 1995...

Reis, Ricardo - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2013

Between 2000 and 2012, the Portuguese economy grew less than the United States during the Great Depression and less than Japan during its lost decade. This paper asks why this happened, with a particular focus on the slump between 2000 and 2007. It describes the main facts of Portugal's recent...

Europe's Golden Age: An Econometric Investigation of Changing Trend Rates of Growth

Crafts, Nicholas; Mills, Terence C - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 1995

This paper examines growth in output per person in 17 OECD countries from the late nineteenth century to 1989 considering the possibility of several breaks in trend. In all cases the unit root hypothesis is rejected in favour of a segmented trend stationary alternative. 1951-73 is shown to be an...

Nonlinear Dynamics, Spillovers and Growth in the G7 Economies: An Empirical Investigation

Sarno, Lucio - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2000

This paper proposes an empirical growth model which is consistent with a stochastic steady-state labour productivity level varying over time and across countries, where the disequilibrium mechanism leading to long-run equilibrium follows a nonlinear equilibrium correction model. Using data for...

Artis, Michael J; Krolzig, Hans-Martin; Toro, Juan - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 1999

This paper deals with the existence and identification of a common European Growth Cycle. It has recently been argued that the formation of a monetary union creates in itself a tendency for business cycle symmetry to emerge. If this holds for the European monetary Union and the quasi-union of...

Multinationals, Endogenous Growth and Technological Spillovers: Theory and Evidence

Baldwin, Richard; Braconier, Henrik; Forslid, Rikard - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 1999

presents a theoretical growth model where MNCs directly affect the endogenous growth rate via technological spillovers. This is … novel since other endogenous growth models with MNCs, e.g. the Grossman-Helpman model, assume away the knowledge-spillovers … the model. Specifically, we find industry-level scale effects and international knowledge spillovers that are unrelated to …

Disenfranchisement in Linguistically Diverse Societies: The Case of the European Union

Ginsburgh, Victor; Ortuño-Ortín, Ignacio; Weber, Shlomo - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2005

We consider a linguistically diversified society that has to select a set of official languages. We examine the notion of language disenfranchisement that is created when one or more languages fail to be included in the list of the official ones, implying that some individuals are denied full...
