Is German wage policy destroying the Euro?

If you have a question about this talk, please contact Ellen Ihrig .

The paper argues that the Greek debt crisis (as well as those of other Southern European countries) has to be seen in a macroeconomic context. The sum of public sector balance, the (domestic) private sector balance and the current account deficit (or equivalently: the capital inflows) has to add up to zero. By implication in a country that has a current account deficit either the private sector or the public sector has to run a deficit. Therefore the PIIGS countries can only solve their public debt problems if there is a change in German current account surpluses. The paper explores the implications of this for wage policy in the Euro zone.
