WEEKEND READING: 20-21 JULY


  1. The IMF's researchers attempt to write a belated history of current account deficits in the European periphery. I would have liked more depth, but the distinct nature of different PIIGS' paths is clear.
  2. Out: now Data on the last 15 years of Greek academic research output

Thanks in advance for your kind words... and your trolling, if you are so inclined.
