  • Germany: a Global Miracle and a European Challenge
    GLOBAL ECONOMY & DEVELOPMENT WORKING PAPER 62 | MAY 2013 Global Economy and Development at BROOKINGS GERMANY: A GLOBAL MIRACLE AND A EUROPEAN CHALLENGE Carlo Bastasin Global Economy and Development at BROOKINGS Carlo Bastasin is a visiting fellow in the Global Economy and Development and Foreign Policy pro- grams at Brookings. A preliminary and shorter version of this study was published in "Italia al Bivio - Riforme o Declino, la lezione dei paesi di successo" by Paolazzi, Sylos-Labini, ed. LUISS University Press. This paper was prepared within the framework of “A Growth Strategy for Europe” research project conducted by the Brookings Global Economy and Development program. Abstract: The excellent performance of the German economy over the past decade has drawn increasing interest across Europe for the kind of structural reforms that have relaunched the German model. Through those reforms, in fact, Germany has become one of the countries that benefit most from global economic integration. As such, Germany has become a reference model for the possibility of a thriving Europe in the global age. However, the same factors that have contributed to the German "global miracle" - the accumulation of savings and gains in competitiveness - are also a "European problem". In fact they contributed to originate the euro crisis and rep- resent elements of danger to the future survival of the euro area. Since the economic success of Germany has translated also into political influence, the other European countries are required to align their economic and social models to the German one. But can they do it? Are structural reforms all that are required? This study shows that the German success depended only in part on the vast array of structural reforms undertaken by German governments in the twenty-first century.

  • The Effects of a Gender Quota on the Board of German Largest Corporations
    The effects of a gender quota on the board of German largest corporations Norma Burrow, Alexandra Fedorets, Anna Giberty April 2018 Abstract In 2015 the Law on Equal Participation of Women and Men in Leadership Posi- tions in the Private and Public Sector imposed a gender quota in supervisory boards of around 100 companies in Germany. We examine the effect of the introduction of this quota on the share of women in the firm’s representative bodies, exploiting the hetero- geneity in the application of the law across different firms to perform a differences-in- differences analysis. We find that the law was only able to increase the share of women on non-executive boards - where it was mandatory - whereas there is no discernible effect for executive and managerial boards. Furthermore, we do not find any effect of the gender quota on the financial outcomes of the firm, and limited impact in layoffs and investment. JEL Classification: J78, L25. Keywords: Gender quota, Firm organization. yGerman Institute for Economic Research (DIW Berlin). Mohrenstraße 58, 10117 Berlin, Germany. Email corresponding author: [email protected]. 1 Introduction In this paper we study the introduction of a gender quota for company boards in Germany and its effect on the gender composition of the firm’s representative bodies. Gender quotas have gained traction in recent years in many countries in private as well as public spheres. The EU Comission has stated that it expects to adopt the 2012 Women on Board Directive in the near future, with its sights at pressuring member states to improve gender diversity.

  • The Blow-By-Blow of What Happened
    The Dismantling of Angela Merkel The blow-by-blow of what happened. hen we last looked at how Germany is re- sponding to the ambitious reform plans of French President Emmanuel Macron By Klaus C. Engelen and EU President Jean-Claude Juncker to deepen and strengthen the eurozone and the European Union, things appeared very different. To make room for difficult negotia- tions on the intended “Jamaica” coalition—named after the colors of the WCaribbean nation’s flag—with Christian Democrats and their Bavarian sister party, the Christian Social Union, the liberal Free Democrats (FDP), and the Greens—Wolfgang Schäuble had to give up the finance ministry, which he had occupied for eight turbulent years as the dominant policymaker of the Eurogroup. Schäuble was moved to the prestigious presidency of the German Bundestag. He left as his legacy as finance minister a “non-paper” for euro- zone reform calling for “no bailouts, no transfers, automatic debt restructur- ing, and more bail-ins.” In his position paper, Schäuble argued that for any eurozone reform, three principles would be indispensable. First, fiscal responsibilities and con- THE MAGAZINE OF INTERNATIONAL ECONOMIC POLICY trol must be kept together, thereby avoiding moral hazard.

Several economic indicators are sending signals of a looming German recession. Geopolitical tensions caused by trade disputes between the United States and China, plus the risk of a disorderly Brexit, began disrupting the global supply chain in manufacturing. German output contraction has been centered on manufacturing, particularly the automobile sector. Despite circumstances that call for fiscal intervention to rescue the economy, Chancellor Angela Merkel’s government was overdue with corrective measures.

  • Understanding West German Economic Growth in the 1950S
    Working Papers No. 113/08 Understanding West German Economic Growth in the 1950s . Barry Eichengreen & Albrecht Ritschl © Barry Eichengreen, Berkeley, & Albrecht Ritschl, LSE December 2008 Department of Economic History London School of Economics Houghton Street London, WC2A 2AE Tel: +44 (0) 20 7955 7860 Fax: +44 (0) 20 7955 7730 Understanding West German Economic Growth in the 1950s1 Barry Eichengreen and Albrecht Ritschl Abstract We evaluate explanations for why Germany grew so quickly in the 1950s. The recent literature has emphasized convergence, structural change and institutional shake-up while minimizing the importance of the post-war shock. We show that this shock and its consequences were more important than neoclassical convergence and structural change in explaining the rapid growth of the West German economy in the 1950s. We find little support for the hypothesis of institutional shakeup. This suggests a different interpretation of post-World War II German economic growth than features in much of the literature. 1. Introduction There is no shortage of attempts to explain West Germany’s economic growth in the 1950s. With good reason: between 1950 and 1959, GDP rose by nearly 8 percent per annum, faster than anywhere else in Europe and in stark contrast to experience following World War I. Among European countries, only Austria, which shared many circumstances with Germany, came close to matching this performance. Germany’s rapid growth doubled living standards in a decade. By the early 1960s it had restored Germany’s status as the largest and potentially most influential economic and financial power in Europe. Explanations for this experience are of three types (see Eichengreen, 1996, for an earlier review).
