As a result of Britain's decision to leave the EU, global economic output is likely to grow at a somewhat slower pace than anticipated. The decision will have consequences for the UK and for the euro area in particular; this is also confirmed by simulations produced by the National Institute...

Durch die Brexit-Entscheidung dürfte die Wirtschaftsleistung weltweit mit etwas geringerem Tempo als erwartet zulegen. Vor allem im Vereinigten Königreich und im Euroraum macht sich die Entscheidung bemerkbar; dies bilden auch Simulationen mit dem NiGEM-Modell ab. So führen die erwartete...

It is common to observe that demand elasticities in trade equations for imports are implausibly large, and that they differ between countries. Both of these present us with problems, as they imply trade will rise without bound as a proportion of GDP. The research reported here looks for...

Economists are currently divided over the question of what represents a more immediate threat to the global economy - deflation or excessive infl ation. Using stochastic simulations, this article extrapolates the likely inflation rates in individual European countries and the euro area as a...
