Can re-regulation of the financial sector strike back public debt?

2015

This paper analyzes the impact of financial sector policy changes on the dynamics of public debt.

Looking at the different typologies of financial sector policy changes, we show that stricter banking supervision, privatisations and restrictions to international capital flows contribute to a fast decline of the growth rate of public debt. In contrast, the removal of entry barriers and the elimination of interest rate contro…

Measuring and Evaluating Intergenerational Mobility: Evidence from Students’ Questionnaires

2005

Three fundamental ideas in the study of intergenerational mobility are those of structural mobility, origin independence and rank reversal.

The questionnaire is conducted under both a “measurement” and an “evaluation” frame; it uses questions involving both verbal statements of the principles tested and pairwise comparisons of simple hypothetical mobility situations; for the latter exercise, the questionnaire introduces a new intuitive display based on mobility trees. The evidence provides various results: most notably, o…
