Global economy: Secular stagnation debate continues apace!

Geoff Riley

6th April 2015

I heartily recommend this article from Duncan Weldon, BBC Newsnight's Economics correspondent on the continuing debate over whether advanced countries risk becoming gripped in a period of secular stagnation. It is excellent for those revising for their A2 macro papers in June. Follow the topic links below for more articles on secular stagnation.

I have also linked below to a short talk given recently on this by Paul Krugman and to a survey of potential economic growth published by the IMF in April 2015.
