    Is Germany's Industrial Slowdown About to Spiral?

    Germany's industrial powerhouse has long been the backbone of Europe's economy. But after years of steady growth, manufacturing activity has been on a downward trajectory since 2018. Could this decline suddenly accelerate due to "cluster effects" and local economies of scale unraveling? In this episode, we dive into the forces shaping Germany's industrial slowdown and explore whether policy interventions could halt or even reverse the trend. We ask how insights from economic theory help us make sense of these cascading risks. Join us as we discuss these pressing questions, drawing also on the academic work by David Baqaee, whose paper "Cascading Failures in Production Networks" (Econometrica, 2018) sheds light on how production networks can amplify economic shocks.

    Tariffs - What Do They Achieve?

    Play Episode Listen Later Feb 7, 2025 21:28


    We discuss the effects of tariffs on consumers and producers, drawing on evidence from the tariff war during the first Trump administration. The empirical evidence shows that import tariffs led to increases in domestic prices, reductions in import quantities and a reduction in product variety. This coupled with additional adverse effects on global supply chains and retaliatory tariffs makes it hard to understand how the U.S. can gain in economic terms from tariffs. We draw our insights from this academic paper: Amiti, Weinstein, Redding: "The Impact of the 2018 Tariffs on Prices and Welfare" https://www.aeaweb.org/articles?id=10.1257/jep.33.4.187

    In this episode, we explore the inflation outlook for the Euro Area, honing in on whether medium-term inflation could once again fall short of the ECB's target, as it did before the pandemic. While there's little evidence in current data to suggest an imminent undershoot—thanks to robust wage growth, persistent service price inflation, and ample room for monetary policy easing—some of these factors may ease in the coming year. This makes it crucial to keep a close eye on potential risks of undershooting.

CBAM appears to perform badly on both of these and a number of other fronts. We also discuss alternative approaches for international carbon price adjustments, partly based on research by Harald and his coauthors: "Designing Effective Carbon Border Adjustment with Minimal Information Requirements.

    How Much of the Decline in Inflation Is Due to ECB Policy?

    Euro Area inflation fell like a rock: from the peak of 10.6%, reached in October 2022, it dropped to levels below 3% a year later. We analyze how much of this decline can be attributed to policy tightening by the ECB. We find that the direct effect of ECB policy is likely small. ECB policy may have had important indirect effecta via anchoring inflation expectations, but quantifying this effect is difficult.
