Improved jobs inflation offer modest eurozone respite.
Comment;
…”unemployment is high and deflation risks persist” it means
we need to remove excess supply of labor by reducing wages/income. Deflation
means prices are falling, a downward bias... it means the market is trying to
correct itself but our inflation targeting is making things worse. We are not
trying to let the popular wish materialize. What we should do is to let the
economies deflate. Prices and wages/income will fall. But we have evidence of
nominal downward-wage-rigidity in many parts of the Europe
but as we say that there is a downward pressure on the prices which is an
evidence of no downward rigidity in case of prices, opposite of what Keynes
said. It means prices will fall more than wages means a rise in real
wages/income. Which would increase demand to remove excess labor supply.
Precisely called (again) the Pigou-Effect. And, if we want to increase the
wealth-effect we can float a lower denomination of Euro which will increase
the space between which the prices can fall. I think the Union
should let the member countries with high unemployment deflate and low
unemployment countries inflate their economies (already suggested by Paul
Krugman). Precisely means real depreciation in countries with high unemployment
and nominal appreciation depreciation in low unemployment countries. The economies should
grow and appreciate either in nominal sense or real sense. I think the Union should give the countries liberty to print currencies
in lower denomination (of Euro) which is expected to keep money-supply intact
even in situation of distress. They are too much dependent…
