1 European Stagnation: Private sector structural balance + fiscal policy Jesper Jespersen, Jesperj@ruc. dk Roskilde University & Aalborg University 21 st April 2017
2 Secular(?) stagnation in EU 1. Persistently high unemployment 2. Slow growth in old Europe 3. Why? Private sector structural imbalances

6 Angela Merkel: It s only resting! But, she is wrong: Which a tiny drop: ECB monetary easing cannot help October 2014
7 3. why? 1. Lack of effective demand! Caused by: Private sector (structural) excess financial savings Structural: full employment (hypothetical calculation what model is used? ) Excess: financial savings > real investment (NB! S I) Excess private sector financial savings public deficit + balance of payments surplus
8 Two Sector balance! (1) Y C + I + G (2) Y Tax C + I + [G Tax] (3) Private actual excess savings: Spx Y C I Tax [G Tax] (4) Private actual excess savings public sector deficit

14 No wonder Euro zone has a growth problem! Lower real investments mean: 1. Short run: lack of effective demand, causing rising unemployment 2. Long run: lower productivity growth, causing growth to slow further down But, even worse it is: 1. Re enforced by austerity policy due to misunderstood macroeconomics. Because:

18 Limits to the public sector structural and actual budget is destabilizing! The private sector is not self adjusting to full employment and for sure not within the euro zone (semi closed area) So, the conventional calculation of the structural public sector budget is only a measure of fiscal policy. (½ pct.) If it is smaller than the current deficit fiscal policy is too restrictive to create full employment. The current deficit is just a mirror picture of the lack of effective demand The relevant calculation is: how much extra effective demand is needed to create full employment!

21 Country study Why has Spain come out so much weaker than Germany during the crisis? Balance of payments makes a difference!
22 Three sector balances! (1) Y C + I + G + [E M] (3) Private excess savings: Spx Y C I Tax [G Tax] + [E M] (4) Public sector budget deficit: [G Tax] Spx [E M] So, Public sector deficit Private excess savings + balance of payments deficit

34 Inspiration from Keynes: How to analyse uncertainty Keynes reading Mathematics and Philosophy in Cambridge His fellowship dissertation (1909) submitted to King s college was later (1921) published: Treatise on Probability It demonstrates that Keynes was a highly sophisticated mathematician, but it also underscored his views about uncertainty, knowledge and risk. Keynes understood that some risks could not be calculated or compared because they relied on assumptions about the future which had no basis in probability [or reality], which made these calculations simply wrong.
