Enlargement: Paying for the Green Acquis. CEPS Paperback. November 2002
No full textThis study examines the economic and policy context for environmental investments in the candidate countries from Central and Eastern Europe. This context is created by macroeconomic constraints, the unfinished process of transition and the requirements of membership. The task of this paperback book is to identify these constraints and point to policy options for decision-makers on both sides of the enlargement process.
Experts originally estimated the investment cost for the CEECs to achieve compliance with the environmental acquis at around 3-4% of GDP over 20 years. The Commission now assumes they need to spend between 2 and 3% of GDP “in the coming years”. But, as Wolfgang Hager explains in detail in the book, these are largely crude investment costs and do not include operational and financial follow-on costs which may be borne by the public budget. Commonly accepted prudential limits on public spending for the CEEC economies suggest a maximum expenditure on the environment – investment, financial charges and operational costs added together – of around 2.5% of GDP per annum. This translates into a mathematical necessity for transition periods expressed in decades rather than years.
The study argues that there are policy options available to substantially reduce the gap between the desirable and the possible. The present impasse results in part from a planning and forecast exercise that is based on multiplying quantities, taken as given, with equipment and operating costs, taken as given. This study seeks to demonstrate that the main constraint is budgetary rather than macroeconomic and that the full scope for off-budget investments therefore needs to be exploited. The author also finds there is a large scope for policies directed at improving efficiency: achieving the greatest environmental benefit from a given amount of resources

Public Debt, Inequality and Power. The Making of a Modern Debt State

FROM THE BACK COVER:
Who are the dominant owners of US public debt? Is it widely held, or concentrated in the hands of a few? Does ownership of public debt give these bondholders power over our government? What do we make of the fact that foreign-owned debt has ballooned to nearly 50 percent today? Until now, we have not had any satisfactory answers to these questions. Public Debt, Inequality, and Power is the first comprehensive historical analysis of public debt ownership in the United States. It reveals that ownership of federal bonds has been increasingly concentrated in the hands of the 1 percent over the past three decades. Based on extensive and original research, Public Debt, Inequality, and Power will shock and enlighten.
“These days, the topic of America’s debt stirs heated political debate. But one of the most important facts in this discussion has hitherto been obscured: who actually owns that debt inside America? Hager has done some fascinating and pathbreaking research to answer that question and concluded that the ownership pattern is surprisingly concentrated—and unequal—and that this may have implications for how the entire debt debate develops in the coming years. This is an illuminating work that deserves wide attention.” (GILLIAN TETT, Financial Times)
“The relationship between the ownership structure of government debt and economic inequality—between public finance and the class structure of modern capitalism—is one of several central concerns of political economy that has been almost completely neglected in recent decades. Sandy Brian Hager’s book returns to the subject with theoretical and empirical bravado.” (WOLFGANG STREECK, Director Emeritus, Max Planck Institute for the Study of Societies)
“Money is power, and US Treasury debt is the world’s single largest financial instrument. Hager’s insightful book fills an enormous hole in our knowledge of who owns this debt and how the power flowing from that increasingly concentrated ownership affects US and global politics.” (HERMAN M. SCHWARTZ, author of Subprime Nation: American Power, Global Capital, and the Housing Bubble)

Vers un nouvel ordre économique en Europe : réponse à Wolfgang Hager
No full textTowards a new economic order in Europe, by Horst Werner
The author refutes the arguments developed by Wolfgang Hager in "Politique Etrangère" (no 1/1979 new series), on the behaviour of German companies and the necessity under which the GFR would be guiding its economic policy along the path followed by its principal trading partners. The criteria chosen - surplus balance of payments and surplus trade balance - do not justify this argument, according to H. Werner and the demand that German policy be adapted to that of countries showing a deficit, does not take into account the present situation which requires that Germany continue to export its capital so as to grant credits to countries showing a deficit or to developing countries. The model of a mixed economy (France, Great Britain) is not a solution for the German Federal Republic. The preservation of a market economy and a system of free trade alone can help to solve the serious problems created by the adaptation of structures to changes in the international situation, characterised by the continual increase of oil prices. One must avoid the temptation of trying to absorb the deficit created by the oil payments due to an accelerated inflation in industrialised countries. Germany's policy of rejecting inflation and seeking monetary stability is an example which should be followed.Vers un nouvel ordre économique en Europe : réponse à Wolfgang Hager, par Horst Werner
L'auteur réfute les thèses développées par Wolfgang Hager dans Politique Etrangère (no 1/1979, nouvelle série) sur le comportement des entreprises allemandes et sur la nécessité dans laquelle serait la RFA d'orienter sa gestion économique dans un sens plus en accord avec la situation de ses principaux partenaires commerciaux. Les critères choisis - excédents des balances des paiements et commerciales - ne justifient pas selon H. Werner cette thèse et l'exigence d'adapter la politique allemande à celles des pays déficitaires ne tient pas compte de la situation actuelle qui exige de l'Allemagne de continuer à exporter ses capitaux afin de pouvoir accorder des crédits aux pays déficitaires ou en développement. Le modèle de l'économie mixte (France, Grande-Bretagne) n'est pas une solution pour la RFA. Seul le maintien de l'économie de marché et le libre-échange peuvent résoudre les graves problèmes posés par l'adaptation des structures aux données nouvelles de la conjoncture internationale, caractérisée par la hausse continue des prix pétroliers. Il faut se garder avant tout de la tentation facile de vouloir absorber le déficit créé par la facture pétrolière grâce à une inflation accélérée dans les pays industrialisés. La politique de l'Allemagne, refusant l'inflation et recherchant la stabilité monétaire est l'exemple à suivre.Werner Horst. Vers un nouvel ordre économique en Europe : réponse à Wolfgang Hager.
