Based on its mandate to preserve price stability, over the past few years the European Central Bank has enacted a complex package of monetary policy measures to stave off the most damaging and lasting symptoms of the global financial crisis that hit the advanced world 10 years ago.
While, in many respects, Europe’s society is still recovering from the aftermaths of the Great Contraction, the monetary policy measures have succeeded in minimising the severity of the crisis and placing Europe’s economy on a sustained growth pathway.

He has written on the political economy of fiscal policy, on the reform of social security, on the history and theory of monetary standards, on stochastic general equilibrium macro-modelling and on monetary economics in general.
