I've tried to understand what governs markets behaviour. Are the decisions of the European Central Bank? Are national governments measures? Are the outcomes of international summits? Are the decisions of rating agencies on European governments bonds?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;An example.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;Last Friday Standard &amp;amp; Poor's downgraded the sovereign debt several European economies, including that of France to AA+. Spain, with the fourth largest economy in the Eurozone, had its rating lowered to A from AA, and Italy, the third largest economy in the Eurozone, had its rating lowered from A+ to BBB+. Austria's rating also fell from AAA to AA+ and Portugal's rating fell to BB, or junk level.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;Moreover, during the weekend the French President decided to cancel the scheduled trilateral meeting with his Italian and German colleagues, because of its "uselessness".&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;Two H-bombs.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;But nothing has happened till now. The european stock exchanges have been stable or positive. The trend of the spread of Italian, French and Spanish bonds with respect to German ones is downward sloping. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;My question is therefore: what governs markets behaviour? I don't know (and sorry for repetition).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;ITALIAN&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;span class="hps" style="color: #333333;

I am delighted to share it with my readers. It has been written by Charles Wyplosz, Professor of International Economics at the Graduate Institute, Geneva; Director of the International Centre for Money and Banking Studies. CEPR Research Fellow. And his concerns are similar to the ones expressed by me in the last weeks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Dear Jens,&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;A growing number of competent economists have come to the conclusion that the debt crisis will not come to an end until the ECB intervenes as lender of last resort. You have taken the opposite view. The question, for me, is why?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;As I see it, your objection rests on three points:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;Legality of bailouts;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;moral hazard; and&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;independence of the ECB.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;em&gt;These are important issues, but the answer cannot be simply: “No, never.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h1&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;Legality&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;em&gt;You read Art.123 as preventing support to governments. That is also my reading, but the ECB already violated this all-important article in May 2010. That was a historical mistake, but with no legal consequences so far. By deciding to buy outright Greek public debt instruments, the ECB has not just violated the spirit of the Treaty, it also changed the Eurozone regime.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;We agree, I am sure, that a monetary union requires fiscal discipline in every member country. The unfortunate solution that was chosen more than a decade ago was the Stability and Growth Pact. This pact could never work, not just because it was ill designed, but also because its implementation requires that national sovereignty in fiscal policy matters be lifted, in contradiction with the Treaty prescription that governments and their parliaments retain full authority.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Treaty was flawed, but not fatally, because the no-bailout clauses (Art.123 and 125) implied that a country that did not respect fiscal discipline would eventually face the consequences alone. It was reasonable to believe that this would happen one day – that a delinquent but sovereign country would be left to default and that, henceforth, a lesson would have been learned and discipline would be adhered to.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;By removing the only effective instrument available to enforce discipline, the Eurozone governments and the ECB effectively Europeanised national public debts. I know that your predecessor disagreed publicly, as I did, but the harm has been done and cannot be undone.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Now the ECB must move down that path, to its bitter end. Legalities will not change this fact. I understand how hard it is for you and the Bundesbank to swallow this reality, but the alternative is a breakup of the Eurozone. This is a solution that is potentially so destructive that you cannot choose it over your justified rancor. At least, I hope. A reassurance from you would be a very positive contribution.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h1&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;Moral hazard&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;em&gt;Of course, the May 2010 decisions have created a massive moral hazard. We will have to deal with that disastrous consequence. Now, however, is not the time. We have a crisis on our hands which requires urgent treatment.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Punishing undisciplined countries is apparently popular in your country, but it will not work. Forcing austerity programs on countries in recession, or about to enter into recession, will not reduce the budget deficits, as the Greek example abundantly illustrates.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;The proper response is to carefully design a new regime that will deliver fiscal discipline while respecting national sovereignty. There are various possible solutions, many of which rely on the ECB. For instance, before the crisis, the ECB had long complained that the spreads on government bonds were far too small. But the ECB holds a big responsibility there.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;By accepting all bonds as collateral for its repo operations, the ECB effectively guaranteed their values. We need no Treaty change for the ECB to decide that it will only accept repo bonds from governments with established adequate national arrangements that enforce fiscal discipline.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;At the last summit, European leaders agreed that all countries would adopt a version of the German constitutional debt brake arrangement and establish independent fiscal councils. Once the crisis is over, the ECB can simply take good note of that commitment and act accordingly in its repo operations.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;That would go a long way towards redressing the moral hazard problem. It should also reassure the ECB that its remonstrations will be taken to heart in the future.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Several other ideas should be considered -- like ESBies or blue-red bonds – but only after the crisis is over. They are not ways to solve the crisis. If you think that none of these arrangements will work, please tell us precisely why.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h1&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;Independence&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;em&gt;Finally, you are rightfully concerned that the ECB’s independence should be preserved. Making the Eurozone’s central banks independent is arguably one of the main European achievements of the last two decades. The importance of central bank independence is a lesson that the Bundesbank can be proud to have taught all of us.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;With its independence guaranteed by the Treaty, the ECB is undoubtedly the most independent central bank in the world. This is de jure true, but is it so de facto?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;The May 2010 decision to contribute to the Greek bailout is worrisome, but not fatal. Why has the ECB taken that step? While not an excuse, there is a good, fundamental reason.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;The border between fiscal and monetary policy cannot, unfortunately, be clear-cut.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;em&gt;This is a consequence of the policy dominance issue.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;It is a fact that there exists a unique public-sector budget constraint that combines public debts, fiscal balances and seigniorage.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;Monetary independence exists when seigniorage is exogenous and budget balances are endogenous under all circumstances.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;em&gt;The residual is the real value of the public debt.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;In May 2010, implicitly at least, the ECB must have concluded that public debts cannot be defaulted upon. In the end, as we now know, defaults will happen. This was a misjudgment, but also a very general warning that situations are not always black or white.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;German history has shown how disastrous monetary financing of public debts can be, but that lesson is more subtle than just saying “no”. Hyperinflation was the consequence of continuing monetary financing of the budget deficit, with no end in sight. Today we are talking about dealing with the existing stock of debts that cannot be refinanced on the market anymore. We need a one-off guarantee by the ECB that sets a floor on these bond prices, and of course defaults to eventually regain market access. A guarantee does not mean actual purchases; most likely very little will be needed, and that can be sterilised. The German precedent simply does not apply to the current situation. If you agree, please say so. If not, please explain.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;More generally, we need to recognise that there are situations when a central bank cannot disentangle itself from the public-sector budget constraint and must be the lender of last resort.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Rather than denying that this possibility exists, we need to anticipate the situation.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;The first thing to do is to adopt institutions that enforce discipline.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;The second thing is to accept that disasters may happen, and plan accordingly.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;em&gt;Within a country, it is indeed understood that central banks may have to act as lender of last resort for their governments, as we now see in the US and the UK, for instance. You may infer from Germany’s interwar experience that this will ultimately be inflationary, but this is not what many believe will happen this time around. Are they obviously wrong? We need to investigate this issue with an open mind.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Within a monetary union, things are even more complicated, if only because distributional issues arise. With adequate disciplining institutions in place in each country, the situation may still arise because of large-scale bank failures. Proper micro and macro surveillance should make such an event unlikely.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;In the Eurozone, the solution is to keep improving the system that has been put in place, by making the European Banking Authority independent and building a strong European Systemic Risk Board. But we must also admit that mistakes can be made, much as natural disasters can occur.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;We need a sort of Bagehot Rule for emergency central bank support to governments. This time around, we have tried to invent rules as events have arisen. Hopefully, we will draw the lessons of this crisis. This seems a better way to proceed than to deny that such things can happen and to then be unprepared when they do.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h1&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;Conclusion&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;em&gt;These are all complex issues that require considerable thought. The answers will not be black or white. Your task is to balance daunting trade-offs. One possibility is that the ECB refuses to intervene as lender of last resort and the Eurozone breaks up. The other is that the ECB acts as lender of last resort and some of your fears are realised.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;You may have a better plan, but we have not heard it yet.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Charles Wyplosz © voxEU.org.&lt;br /&gt;Source:&amp;nbsp;"VoxEU.org". &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.voxeu.org/index.php?q=node/7296"&gt;http://www.voxeu.org/index.php?q=node/7296&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;UNA VERSIONE TRADOTTA IN ITALIANO (da Daniela Crocco) DELLA LETTERA DI CHARLES WYPLOSZ AL PRESIDENTE DELLA BUNDESBANK E' DISPONIBILE SU "Lavoce.info" AL SEGUENTE INDIRIZZO:&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.lavoce.info/articoli/pagina1002686.html"&gt;http://www.lavoce.info/articoli/pagina1002686.html&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5284410173785299207-1187038101248314824?l=ekono-mia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ekono-mia.blogspot.com/feeds/1187038101248314824/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ekono-mia.blogspot.com/2011/12/i-agree.html#comment-form' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5284410173785299207/posts/default/1187038101248314824'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5284410173785299207/posts/default/1187038101248314824'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ekono-mia.blogspot.com/2011/12/i-agree.html' title='I agree!'/><author><name>filigreg</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10332565329536530560</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wMNhR577ggg/Tr7WnU9GQiI/AAAAAAAAADk/IC_lp_zdxfQ/s220/Immagine%2B006.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5284410173785299207.post-7703549337669270757</id><published>2011-12-01T02:04:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-12-01T05:44:59.936-08:00</updated><title type='text'>STEREOTIPI? / STEREOTYPES?</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/" name="_GoBack"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span lang="IT" style="mso-ansi-language: IT;"&gt;ITA (EN version below)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="IT" style="mso-ansi-language: IT;"&gt;Da lunedi prossimo, le banche europee potranno finanziarsi (in dollari) ad un tasso inferiore rispetto a quello riservato alle banche statunitensi. Questo servirà a dare ossigeno alle banche dell'area-euro. Per quanto tempo, è difficile dirlo.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="IT" style="mso-ansi-language: IT;"&gt;Questa misura ha elettrizzato i mercati finanziari, ma non puo' curare i problemi di fondo che creano cosi tante difficoltà in Eurolandia.

La Banca Centrale Europea è un medico che saprebbe e potrebbe curare i propri malati (i governi europei), e lo farebbe stampando moneta, ma il "meno malato" tra questi (il governo tedesco) non vuole che la cura venga messa in pratica. Il fatto è che il governo tedesco andrebbe a stare sicuramente peggio, se gli altri malati morissero. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="IT" style="mso-ansi-language: IT;"&gt;Io non ho idea del perchè il governo tedesco si comporti cosi. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="IT" style="mso-ansi-language: IT;"&gt;Una idea ce l'avrei pure, ma non voglio cadere nei solito stereotipo dei tedeschi che sono forti ma troppo "quadrati" e poco fantasiosi. Non voglio. Pero' Angela, per piacere…&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="IT" style="mso-ansi-language: IT;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"&gt;&lt;span lang="IT" style="mso-ansi-language: IT;"&gt;Un grazie a Dj Lubel per avermi (involontariamente) suggerito l'ultima frase del post tramite la sua magnifica e provocatoria canzone &lt;u&gt;contro&lt;/u&gt; il razzismo intitolata "Just the majority" &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGZMyVhC3rc"&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGZMyVhC3rc&lt;/a&gt; .&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;&lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"&gt;&lt;span lang="IT" style="mso-ansi-language: IT;"&gt;"Se odi una persona per la sua appartenenza etnica sei un coglione" [Martin Luther King, Jr.]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="IT" style="mso-ansi-language: IT;"&gt;EN&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;From next Monday, European banks will be allowed to finance themselves (in dollars) at a lower rate with respect to the one of U.S. banks. This will give oxygen to the euro-area banks. For how long, is hard to say.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;This measure has excited financial markets, but it cannot be a long-term solution to the problem affecting euro-land. It cannot be a solution for the main problem, for sure. And the biggest problem, in my opinion, is a paradox.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;Let me explain. The European Central Bank is a doctor who know how to take care of its own patients (the European governments) and would cure them by printing money, but the "less sick" among them (the German government) does not want the medical care to be implemented. The paradox is that the German government would be worse off if the other patients died. For sure!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;I have no idea why the German government keep on opposing to ECB treaties reform.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;I have an idea about that, to be honest. But I do not want to fall into the stereotype of the Germans we all have in Italy: strong and serious, but not very imaginative. I don't want, but please Angela…&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;&lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"&gt;A special thanks to DJ Lubel who unintentionally suggested me the last sentence of the post via its funny and provocative song &lt;u&gt;against&lt;/u&gt; racism entitled "Just the Majority" &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGZMyVhC3rc"&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGZMyVhC3rc&lt;/a&gt; .&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;&lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"&gt;"If you hate another person based on their ethnicity then you are a dick" [Martin Luther King, Jr.]&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5284410173785299207-7703549337669270757?l=ekono-mia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ekono-mia.blogspot.com/feeds/7703549337669270757/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ekono-mia.blogspot.com/2011/12/stereotipi-stereotypes.html#comment-form' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5284410173785299207/posts/default/7703549337669270757'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5284410173785299207/posts/default/7703549337669270757'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ekono-mia.blogspot.com/2011/12/stereotipi-stereotypes.html' title='STEREOTIPI?

Volevo parlare dei loro paesi: non c'era verso! Ma dopo mezz'ora su Berlusconi e debito pubblico (lo spread non era un argomento interessante a quel tempo), abbiamo iniziato a parlare di storia italiana, di arte italiana e dei marchi italiani. E mi ricordo la luminosità nei loro occhi mentre citavamo Leonardo da Vinci, Machiavelli (e Prada) ...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span lang="IT" style="mso-ansi-language: IT;"&gt;Penso a Gine, una ragazza tedesca che sta facendo il dottorato di ricerca in Italia: "Voglio restare in Italia, mi piace tanto! la AMO!"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span lang="IT" style="mso-ansi-language: IT;"&gt;Penso alle persone che conosco qui al WTO: "oh, vieni da Milano ... fico!"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span lang="IT" style="mso-ansi-language: IT;"&gt;Penso a Roberto Benigni al Parlamento Europeo l'altro giorno. Mi ha fatto pensare a San Benedetto, Giotto, Michelangelo, Dante Alighieri, ma anche a Enzo Ferrari, il contadino di Modena che ha realizzato il suo sogno. E le sue creazioni sono diventate il sogno di miliardi di uomini in tutto il mondo. Una storia italiana.

I wanted to talk about their countries: no way! But after half an hour on Berlusconi and public debt (spread was not an interesting topic at that time), we started to talk about Italian history, Italian art and Italian brands. And I remember the brightness in their eyes while we were mentioning Leonardo da Vinci, Machiavelli (and Prada)…&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;I think of my friend Gine, a German Ph.D. student in Italy: "I want to stay in Italy, I like it! I LOVE it!"&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;I think of the people I'm meeting here at the WTO: "oh, you come from Milan…so cool!"&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;I think of Roberto Benigni at the European Parliament few days ago. He reminded me of San Benedetto, Giotto, Michelangelo, Dante Alighieri, but also of Enzo Ferrari, the countryman from Modena that make his dream come true. And his creations became the dream of billions of men worldwide. An Italian story. Like the one of our former Prime Minister, after all…&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;I think of myself, too. I live in Geneva now, but I keep on thinking of my country every single day. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;It's so peculiar, so complicated, so difficult to describe and there are so many difficulties now. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;But it's still the most beautiful, after all.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;And I miss it so much. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5284410173785299207-1465771179725023463?l=ekono-mia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ekono-mia.blogspot.com/feeds/1465771179725023463/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ekono-mia.blogspot.com/2011/11/i-love-italy.html#comment-form' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5284410173785299207/posts/default/1465771179725023463'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5284410173785299207/posts/default/1465771179725023463'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ekono-mia.blogspot.com/2011/11/i-love-italy.html' title='I LOVE ITALY'/><author><name>filigreg</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10332565329536530560</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wMNhR577ggg/Tr7WnU9GQiI/AAAAAAAAADk/IC_lp_zdxfQ/s220/Immagine%2B006.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5284410173785299207.post-912376645763181094</id><published>2011-11-17T08:18:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-11-17T08:18:12.329-08:00</updated><title type='text'>FACCI INCAZZARE! / PISS US OFF!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;&lt;a href="" name="_GoBack"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span lang="IT" style="mso-ansi-language: IT;"&gt;ITALIANO (English version below!)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="IT" style="mso-ansi-language: IT;"&gt;L'Italia è passata da un governo politico ad un governo tecnico, principalmente a causa delle perturbazioni nei mercati finanziari (tralascio volutamente altre considerazioni, piu' "politiche").&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="IT" style="mso-ansi-language: IT;"&gt;In Italia saranno necessarie riforme impopolari, riforme che non potrebbero essere attuate da nessun governo politico, pena la perdita della possibilità di essere rieletto. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="IT" style="mso-ansi-language: IT;"&gt;Da oggi in poi, i partiti dovranno essere responsabili ed accettare di sostenere un governo che dovrà chiedere sacrifici a tutti, dovranno anteporre l'interesse nazionale e quello elettorale. Monti, dal canto suo, dovrà scontentare tutti per non scontentare nessuno: introdurre piu' flessibiltà nel mercato del lavoro (facendo arrabbiare il Pd), tassare i grandi patrimoni (facendo arrabbiare il Pdl) e riformando le pensioni (facendo arrabbiare tutti).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="IT" style="mso-ansi-language: IT;"&gt;Ieri il Wall Street Journal, nell'articolo: "Rise of the Technocrats: Can the men without party succeed where the pols have failed?" si mostrava scettico sulle possibilità di successo dei governi tecnici laddove i governi politici hanno fallito. Con ottime argomentazioni.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="IT" style="mso-ansi-language: IT;"&gt;Ma spero che il Wall Street Journal se sbagli.

They are asked to accept to support a government that well have to ask sacrifices to all the electoral body. They all know (we all know) that Monti will have to disappoint everyone: first, by bringing more 'flexibility in the labour market, "hurting" the left wing parties; then, by taxing the richest, thus "hurting" the right wings movements; and finally, by reforming the pension system, thus making almost everyone angry.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;Yesterday the Wall Street Journal "Rise of the Technocrats: Can the party without men succeed where the pols have failed?" was sceptical about the virtues of technocrats with respect to the ones of politicians, where political government have already failed. There are good reasons to cast doubts on the technocrats.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;But I hope that Monti and its team will succeed.

Oltre a questo, lo spread tra Bond del Fondo europeo di stabilità finanziaria (EFSF) a 10 anni e Bund è al livello più alto di sempere, essendosi attestato attorno a quota 190. Ciò significa che i costi di finanziamento del fondo sono in aumento. Ciò significa che è ragionevole mettere in dubbio la capacità del Fondo di "salvare" gli Stati membri dell'Unione europea.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="IT" style="mso-ansi-language: IT;"&gt;Passiamo ora alla Gran Bretagna. Il differenziale di rendimento tra Buoni del Tesoro britannici (GILT)a 10 anni ed altri bond di paesi europei (diversi dai Bund) è in linea con quello dei Bund: -500 contro BTP e circa -150 contro OAT. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="IT" style="mso-ansi-language: IT;"&gt;Ora, la Gran Bretagna ha un tasso di inflazione superiore a quello dell'area Euro e sua dinamica del debito è peggiore di quella italiana. Ma la Gran Bretagna ha "sua" banca nazionale.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="IT" style="mso-ansi-language: IT;"&gt;Mi spiego. Durante la crisi, la Banca d'Inghilterra (come del resto anche le banche centrali di Stati Uniti, Giappone e Svizzera), ha aumentato l'offerta di moneta acquistando obbligazioni e strumenti finanziarii nazionali (quantitative easing). Nessun professore di macroeconomia direbbe mai ai suoi studenti che questo è ciò che una banca centrale dovrebbe fare, ma oggi il mondo accademico è drammaticamente lontano dalla realtà dei mercati finanziari. Inoltre, il tasso di inflazione nella zona euro è bassa, esattamente come la il tasso di crescita dell'economia...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="IT" style="mso-ansi-language: IT;"&gt;Perché la Banca Centrale Europea non sta seguendo l'esempio della Banca d'Inghilterra? Per ragioni politiche. La Banca d'Inghilterra ha un interlocutore: Cameron. Draghi invece deve interagire con 17 governi che rappresentano 17 economie le cui priorità sono, al momento, diverse. Uno di questi interlocutori è piu' forte degli altri e ha "potere di veto": il suo nome è Germania.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="IT" style="mso-ansi-language: IT;"&gt;Auspico che la Banca Centrale Europea possa agire al piu' presto, e credo che Draghi vorrebbe anche agire subito. Ma la Germania, al momento, non sembra volersi muovere.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="IT" style="mso-ansi-language: IT;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;ENGLISH &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;This morning I've read an interesting article on Italian newspaper "il Sole 24 Ore", by Walter Riolfi. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;It compares Euro-zone and Great Britain, highlighting the different behaviour of European Central Bank and Bank of England.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;First of all, a brief comparison between the expected return to investment in 10years Bonds by European countries is needed to comprehend the status quo. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;In the Euro-zone, the spread between German 10years Treasury Bonds (BUNDs) and other European 10years Treasury Bonds has dramatically increased in both absolute and relative terms during the last weeks: It is around -500 with respect to BTP (Italy) and almost -200 with respect to OAT (France). Moreover, the spread between European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF) 10years Bond and BUND is at all-time high, up to 190. It means that the costs of financing the fund are increasing. It means that it is reasonable to cast doubts on the ability of the Fund to "save" the EU Member States.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;Let us focus now on Great Britain. The spread between British 10years Treasury Bonds (GILT) and European 10years Treasury Bonds (other than BUNDs) is in line with the one of BUNDs: -500 with respect to BTP and approximately -150 with respect to OAT.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;Now, Great Britain has a higher inflation rate than the Euro-zone and worse debt dynamics than Italy. But Great Britain has got "its own" national bank.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;During the crisis, Bank of England (like American, Japanese and Swiss central banks) has increased money supply buying his own bonds and financial assets (quantitative easing). No professor of macroeconomics would tell his students that this is what a central bank should do, but academia is far away from financial markets, today. Moreover, inflation rate in the Euro-zone is low, exactly as growth rate…&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;Why isn't European Central Bank following the example of Bank of England? For political reasons. Bank of England has to interact with Mr. Cameron. Mr. Draghi has to interact with 17 governments representing 17 economies with different priorities.
