Is There a Viable European Social and Economic Model?
Olivier J. Blanchard Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) - Department of Economics; National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) July 11, 2006 MIT Department of Economics Working Paper No. 06-21 Abstract: In this lecture, I argue that the efficiency cost of generous but well designed social insurance need not be very large, and that there is indeed a viable European model, based on three legs: competition in goods markets, insurance in labor markets, and the active use of macroeconomic policy.
