What Doesn't Kill Us Makes Us Stronger: but Can the Same Be Said of the Eurozone?
What Doesn't Kill Us Makes Us Stronger: But Can the Same Be Said of the Eurozone? CAROLITE JENSEN* This comment provides a brief, analytical survey of the European sovereign debt crisis. It aims to be user-friendly and accessible to any reader who wants to learn more about the causes and consequences of Europe's ongoing troubles. Rather than focus on a particular country, the comment reviews the fiscal Eurozone and its banking system as a whole. It begins by explaining the key, long-term roots of the Eurozone's present problems. Then, it provides a critical commentary on attempted reforms, and an analysis of the events that have unfolded this past year. It concludes by evaluating the Eurozone's options for fiscal and structural reform going forward. I. Introduction The Eurozone sovereign debt crisis is a moving target. Among other things, its roots are traceable to the 2008 financial crisis, flawed political constructs, risky and dishonest business practices, and faulty economic models. To the lay observer trying to make sense of the crisis, the avalanche of news on politicians, banks, and private market players can overwhelm and obscure. But it is important to wrestle with and understand these issues. The collective Eurozone is one of the world's largest economies. The debt crisis is rapidly evolving, and whatever happens in the next few years, for good or for ill, will affect everyone. This paper tackles the issue from a particular angle. It discusses the more significant legal changes occurring within the banking sector in response to the crisis, as well as external legal changes that will impact the banking sector. -

ECB: Unexpected Shake-Up Snap the German Member of the ECB’S Executive Board, Sabine Lautenschläger, Just Announced Her Resignation from Office by the End of October
Economic and Financial Analysis 25 September 2019 ECB: Unexpected shake-up Snap The German member of the ECB’s Executive Board, Sabine Lautenschläger, just announced her resignation from office by the end of October ECB headquarters, Frankfurt This is another shake-up of the ECB. Sabine Lautenschläger has announced that she will resign from office by the end of October. Lautenschläger has been on the ECB’s Executive Board since 27 January 2014, when she succeeded Jörg Asmussen, who back then left the ECB for a position in the German government. Her eight-year term would normally end in January 2022. Lautenschläger has been mainly responsible for setting up the Single Supervisory Mechanism (SSM). No reasons for her resignation were given in the press statement. So far, the motivation for her resignation is unclear. It may be due to personal reasons but perhaps also a protest against the ECB’s recent decision to engage in another round of monetary easing. The latter would fit into an almost typical German tradition as previous Executive Board member Jürgen Stark and Bundesbank President Axel Weber both stepped down in protest. Sabine Lautenschläger has been the most vocal and often the only member of the Executive Board to publicly criticise the ECB’s bond purchases. Some commentators had also expected her to be in the race for chair of the SSM, which eventually went to the Italian Andrea Enria. Lautenschläger will now be the fifth Executive Board member to resign before the official term ends. • The first ECB President Wim Duisenberg resigned in 2003 to make way for Jean-Claude Trichet • Lorenzo Bini Smaghi resigned in 2011, leaving only one Italian national on the Board after Mario Draghi had become president. -

At the IMFS, we try to provide new insights on these questions from an inter- disciplinary point of view – that is, from an economic as well as a legal perspective. In 2016, we have organized conferences and lectures, published new research findings and commented on current developments in the media. With regard to doctoral and post-doctoral training – another important mission of the Institute – five researchers received the Ph.D. in Economics in 2016 and job placements included positions at the World Bank and the European Central Bank. At the same time, we have laid the ground for new research collaborations. We have won a research grant from the Sloan Foundation for pursuing a joint research project with the Hoover Institution at Stanford University – the Macroeconomic Model Comparison Initiative (MMCI). -
