The document discusses the ongoing euro zone crisis and proposes a path forward. It argues that the crisis can still be resolved if policymakers address both the legacy costs of the flawed euro zone design and fix the design itself. To solve the legacy costs, there needs to be significant burden sharing and policies to stabilize economies in recession. To fix the design requires establishing a banking union and strong euro area institutions with fiscal backstops. The document outlines a four-part plan to restore faith in the euro, stabilize economies in crisis, reduce debt levels, and address structural flaws in the currency union's design.
No exemption the_ftt_and_pensions_fundsManfredNolte
The document argues that pension funds should not be exempted from the proposed Financial Transaction Tax (FTT) being implemented in Europe. It makes three key points:
1. The FTT will have a minimal impact on pension funds as they are typically long-term investors, so the small tax applied at entry and exit from markets will be negligible for them. In contrast, it will significantly impact high-frequency traders.
2. Exempting pension funds could reduce the effectiveness and revenue from the FTT, as financial institutions may find ways to exploit any exemptions.
3. Other costs already faced by pension funds, such as high fund management fees, are a much greater drag on returns than the
This document discusses methods for estimating the output gap and decomposing it into observable components. It provides a unified framework by formulating most output gap estimation methods as linear filters. This allows the output gap estimate to be expressed as a weighted average of observed macroeconomic data over time. The document demonstrates how to decompose an output gap estimate into the contributions made by different data series, like output, inflation, and unemployment. It also shows how to analyze how output gap estimates are revised as new data is incorporated using this linear filter framework. The framework provides insight into which data each method uses and how it weights them to estimate an unobserved output gap.
This report estimates the scale of tax evasion and avoidance in the European Union and provides policy recommendations to address these issues. It estimates that tax evasion costs EU countries approximately €860 billion per year, while tax avoidance may cost an additional €150 billion per year, for a total tax gap of €1 trillion. Italy loses the most to tax evasion at over €180 billion annually. The report provides specific recommendations to tackle tax avoidance, such as country-by-country reporting and a common consolidated corporate tax base. It also provides recommendations to address tax evasion, such as investing more in tax audits, reforming business tax returns, and upgrading information exchange agreements.

The document discusses next steps for creating a European banking union after the agreement to form a Single Supervisory Mechanism. It makes three key points:
1. The European Council has outlined plans for a Single Resolution Mechanism but many details are still preliminary and depend on other initiatives like the involvement of the European Stability Mechanism in bank recapitalizations.
2. Both the upcoming Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive and the Single Resolution Mechanism should enable substantial participation of existing creditors in future bank restructurings.
3. Efforts to establish a legislative framework should not delay decisive action on managing current banking fragility in Europe, which is hindering economic growth and employment.

The European Commission is considering funding the European Union's financial industry watchdogs (ESMA, EBA, and EIOPA) through a levy on the financial institutions they oversee, rather than through EU and national budget contributions. Currently the watchdogs receive 60% of their funding from national supervisors and 40% from the EU budget. The Commission believes this funding model should be revised given budget constraints. A tax on banks and insurers could replace the current funding, though details like the tax rate are unclear. National governments may support the shift to an industry-funded model, but some financial industry groups oppose offloading costs onto firms. The report also examines expanding the watchdogs' powers and roles.

This document is the 83rd Annual Report of the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) covering the period from 1 April 2012 to 31 March 2013. It contains six chapters that analyze the global economic and financial environment during that time period. The report finds that global economic growth remained weak during 2012-13. Central banks took actions like quantitative easing that boosted financial markets but long-term challenges remain regarding fiscal sustainability, structural rigidities in economies, and ensuring resilience in the banking sector. The report provides an overview of these issues and discusses policy approaches to addressing ongoing risks and roadblocks to stronger growth.

Germany signals it will abandon an EU-wide FTT and support a smaller coalition of willing countries instead. France and new President Hollande continue pushing heavily for a European FTT. The European Parliament voted in favor of an FTT. Germany and France remain key drivers for an FTT deal within the EU by the end of June between finance ministers and leaders. Civil society is pushing for revenues from any FTT to fund development and climate programs, not just deficit reduction.
The economic consequences of the EU proposal for a financial transaction taxManfredNolte
This document discusses the potential economic consequences of the EU's proposed financial transaction tax (FTT). It begins by noting that the tax is expected to raise significant revenue for EU countries, with estimates of £18 billion if implemented across the largest EU economies and £8.4 billion if implemented in the UK alone. It then examines existing FTTs in other countries that already collectively raise £25.3 billion annually without causing economic harm. The document argues that small transaction taxes like the proposed EU FTT are unlikely to significantly reduce market activity or lead to widespread tax avoidance, based on empirical evidence from countries with established FTTs. It concludes by noting that the economic impact of the proposed FTT would be similar to other existing transaction
The document provides questions and answers about the European Commission's proposal for an enhanced cooperation financial transaction tax (FTT) to be implemented by 11 EU member states. It summarizes the proposal's key features, including low tax rates of 0.1% for shares/bonds and 0.01% for derivatives. It also addresses concerns about economic impact, risk of relocation, and effects on non-participating states and the single market. The FTT is expected to generate €30-35 billion annually for participating states' budgets.
The document discusses upcoming tax reforms in Spain, including changes to personal income tax (PIT) and corporate income tax. Some key points:
- PIT rates will be reduced in stages between 2014-2016, especially for lower and middle incomes. The top PIT rate will fall from 52% to 45%.
- Social benefits for families and disabled people will increase significantly, up to 32% in some cases.
- Long-term savings plans and pension contributions will be promoted. Capital gains taxes will also be reduced in some situations.
- Corporate income tax rates will similarly be reduced in stages, with the top rate falling from 30% to 25% by 2016.
Propuesta decisión Consejo europeo sobre EspañaManfredNolte
This document is a proposal for a Council Decision addressed to Spain on specific measures to reinforce financial stability. It outlines the context of Spain's request for financial assistance to recapitalize its banking sector due to problems from a real estate bubble bursting. It proposes that Spain develop a strategy to restructure its banking system, including identifying capital needs through asset quality reviews and stress tests, recapitalizing or resolving weak banks, and segregating impaired assets to an asset management company. It also proposes strengthening regulatory and supervisory frameworks for Spanish banks. The proposal aims to overhaul weak segments of the banking sector and reinforce stability in Spain.
The document summarizes trends in global public expenditures from 2005 to 2015 based on IMF data. It finds that while most countries expanded spending during 2008-2009 in response to the crisis, austerity measures became widespread starting in 2010 and are projected to intensify significantly through 2015. A review of 314 IMF country reports identified common adjustment measures being considered, including reducing subsidies, cutting public sector wages, reforming pensions and healthcare, and increasing consumption taxes - with many of these measures expected to adversely impact vulnerable populations. The document questions if the projected scale and speed of fiscal contraction will hinder socio-economic recovery and argues alternative policies are needed to support development and ensure recovery reaches all citizens.

National NGO Symposium Report February 2013Alnaaze Nathoo
National NGO leaders from Cote d'Ivoire, Pakistan, Somalia, and Zimbabwe met in Geneva in February 2013 to discuss their experiences with humanitarian coordination and define future strategies. They sought to share lessons, find practical solutions to engagement challenges while considering local context, and establish effective follow-up mechanisms. Key discussion themes included how to mobilize more flexible resources, articulate NNGO value compared to INGOs, improve national networks through inclusive systems, advocate for greater NNGO inclusion in decision-making, protect civil society space, and advocate to governments to invest in disaster prevention over just emergency response. The workshop informed related discussions at a broader ICVA conference on bridging humanitarian and development divisions.

El Informe sobre el envejecimiento concentra un ejercicio único en el sentido de que proporciona proyecciones para los Estados miembros de la UE y Noruega hasta 2070 basadas en datos supuestos y metodologías comunes. El informe suministra un amplio conjunto de datos comparables e internos para 28 países. Dan una idea del momento en que se produce el envejecimiento de la población, sus implicaciones económicas y los desafíos presupuestarios asociados.
Empresarios privados y públicos: ¿adversarios o aliados?ManfredNolte
La reciente notificación de la Sociedad Estatal de Participaciones Industriales (SEPI), acerca de la toma de un porcentaje relevante en el Capital de Telefónica, ha reabierto la recurrente polémica sobre la figura del Estado como Empresario público, su conveniencia, su oportunidad y su eficiencia
CARE ECONOMY: LA VIEJA Y NUEVA ECONOMIA DE LOS CUIDADOS.ManfredNolte
La economía del cuidado entiende del reconocimiento y valoración de todas las actividades que contribuyen a la atención de las personas, incluido el trabajo no remunerado realizado en los hogares, así como el trabajo remunerado que involucra el cuidado de niños, personas mayores, personas con discapacidades y aquellas que necesitan cualquier tipo de atención especial.
DEUDA PUBLICA Y CONVENIENCIA FISCAL: LLAMADOS AL ACUERDO.ManfredNolte
En su conjunto y en rasgos generales, el progreso de la economía, es decir el de su PIB, depende de dos fuentes básicas de alimentación: el aumento de sus factores productivos y el incremento de su productividad.
DESIGUALDAD PERMANENTE: EL ESTANCAMIENTO DE LA DISTRIBUCIÓN DE LA RIQUEZA.ManfredNolte
La teoría del ‘derrame’ postula atenuar la presión sobre las rentas de los grupos sociales con mayor propensión al ahorro, esto es, los sectores de mayores ingresos, sobre la base de su capacidad de ahorrar e invertir,
COYUNTURA ECONOMICA Y SUS SOMBRAS: INFORME TRIMESTRAL DEL BANCO DE ESPAÑA.ManfredNolte
h
Hay que recordar, que los fotos puntuales, aun cuando salgan bien, no pueden encubrir las carencias, las flaquezas de fondo, que en distintos flancos acechan a nuestra economía.
DESVELANDO LA REALIDAD SOCIAL: ENCUESTA DE CONDICIONES DE VIDA EN ESPAÑA.ManfredNolte
Junto a la de la tolerancia hacia los Paraísos fiscales, último vertedero de la evasión fiscal y del crimen organizado, la pobreza se constituye probablemente en la mayor de las grandes vergüenzas que se confinan en los búnkeres de la economía de mercado.
¿FIN DEL CRIPTOINVIERNO?: ASI HABLAN LOS MAXIMOS.ManfredNolte
Hay creencias firmes, impertérritas, capaces de sobrevivir a cualquier duda o adversidad, ajenas a las opiniones contrarias o simplemente nuevas, ciegas y sordas a cualquier idea o consejo que las desvíe de su camino.
CONOCIMIENTO INTERIOR BRUTO, la obsolescencia del PIB.ManfredNolte
El PIB no es un indicador exhaustivo del progreso económico y tampoco de bienestar social; Además el índice está ofreciendo registros descorazonadores.
LA AGROSFERA, DE NUEVO LA REBELIÓN DEL CAMPO.ManfredNolte
La reciente explosión de los agricultores -una más de una larga cadena histórica- es un suceso emocional y espontaneo y como tal no responde a un enunciado claro de reivindicaciones como podrían constar en un documento unificado de propuestas del sector.
TAMAÑO DEL ESTADO Y BIENESTAR EN LA OCDE.ManfredNolte
Hay un valor entendido, un tópico que circula en amplias capas de la opinión económica, incluso de la habitualmente informada, acerca de la existencia de un antagonismo de raíz entre los conceptos de libre mercado e intervención gubernamental.
MAS ALLA DE LA INCERTIDUMBRE:DESAFIOS DE LA ECONOMIA ESPAÑOLA.ManfredNolte
Un reciente informe de la OCDE (Economic Policy Papers, No. 33), avanza que la economía española retrocederá diez posiciones en la clasificación mundial de países por PIB per cápita, pasando desde la posición 23 en la actualidad a la posición 33 en 2060 .
Este documento describe la frustración de un columnista económico ante la dominación de la política en la agenda pública y los medios, relegando a un segundo plano los temas económicos. El autor se siente atrapado entre su deber de analizar aspectos económicos y el ambiente político polarizado que dificulta abordar cualquier tema. Advierte que la insoportable polarización está orillando el consenso sobre medidas económicas coherentes y que los peligros que enfrentamos son demasiados y gravísimos.
DAVOS: EL PESO Y EL CONSEJO DE UN PODER SOCIALIZADOR.ManfredNolte
Al pie de la montaña mágica de Tomas Mann, enero en la elite es ya sinónimo de esta especial convención, entendiendo por especial no solo el ‘espíritu de Davos’, sino también la naturaleza de sus invitados. Durante cinco días la apacible estación de esquí invernal se transforma en la más selecta y cosmopolita feria del planeta.
Vicinity Jobs’ data includes more than three million 2023 OJPs and thousands of skills. Most skills appear in less than 0.02% of job postings, so most postings rely on a small subset of commonly used terms, like teamwork.
Laura Adkins-Hackett, Economist, LMIC, and Sukriti Trehan, Data Scientist, LMIC, presented their research exploring trends in the skills listed in OJPs to develop a deeper understanding of in-demand skills. This research project uses pointwise mutual information and other methods to extract more information about common skills from the relationships between skills, occupations and regions.
[4:55 p.m.] Bryan Oates
OJPs are becoming a critical resource for policy-makers and researchers who study the labour market. LMIC continues to work with Vicinity Jobs’ data on OJPs, which can be explored in our Canadian Job Trends Dashboard. Valuable insights have been gained through our analysis of OJP data, including LMIC research lead

Fabular Frames and the Four Ratio ProblemMajid Iqbal
Digital, interactive art showing the struggle of a society in providing for its present population while also saving planetary resources for future generations. Spread across several frames, the art is actually the rendering of real and speculative data. The stereographic projections change shape in response to prompts and provocations. Visitors interact with the model through speculative statements about how to increase savings across communities, regions, ecosystems and environments. Their fabulations combined with random noise, i.e. factors beyond control, have a dramatic effect on the societal transition. Things get better. Things get worse. The aim is to give visitors a new grasp and feel of the ongoing struggles in democracies around the world.
Stunning art in the small multiples format brings out the spatiotemporal nature of societal transitions, against backdrop issues such as energy, housing, waste, farmland and forest. In each frame we see hopeful and frightful interplays between spending and saving. Problems emerge when one of the two parts of the existential anaglyph rapidly shrinks like Arctic ice, as factors cross thresholds. Ecological wealth and intergenerational equity areFour at stake. Not enough spending could mean economic stress, social unrest and political conflict. Not enough saving and there will be climate breakdown and ‘bankruptcy’. So where does speculative design start and the gambling and betting end? Behind each fabular frame is a four ratio problem. Each ratio reflects the level of sacrifice and self-restraint a society is willing to accept, against promises of prosperity and freedom. Some values seem to stabilise a frame while others cause collapse. Get the ratios right and we can have it all. Get them wrong and things get more desperate.

A toxic combination of 15 years of low growth, and four decades of high inequality, has left Britain poorer and falling behind its peers. Productivity growth is weak and public investment is low, while wages today are no higher than they were before the financial crisis. Britain needs a new economic strategy to lift itself out of stagnation.
Scotland is in many ways a microcosm of this challenge. It has become a hub for creative industries, is home to several world-class universities and a thriving community of businesses – strengths that need to be harness and leveraged. But it also has high levels of deprivation, with homelessness reaching a record high and nearly half a million people living in very deep poverty last year. Scotland won’t be truly thriving unless it finds ways to ensure that all its inhabitants benefit from growth and investment. This is the central challenge facing policy makers both in Holyrood and Westminster.
What should a new national economic strategy for Scotland include? What would the pursuit of stronger economic growth mean for local, national and UK-wide policy makers? How will economic change affect the jobs we do, the places we live and the businesses we work for? And what are the prospects for cities like Glasgow, and nations like Scotland, in rising to these challenges?
OJP data from firms like Vicinity Jobs have emerged as a complement to traditional sources of labour demand data, such as the Job Vacancy and Wages Survey (JVWS). Ibrahim Abuallail, PhD Candidate, University of Ottawa, presented research relating to bias in OJPs and a proposed approach to effectively adjust OJP data to complement existing official data (such as from the JVWS) and improve the measurement of labour demand.
