Interesting Fed research on the parallel between Greece and Argentina. And while the US Fed of San Francisco is trying to avoid alarmist conclusions, the Greek crisis has not ended yet.
Dit is het rapport van Natixis, waarnaar Di Rupo gisteren verwees in een speech in Antwerpen. In het rapport staat een zeer ruwe (en foute) berekening van de regionale transfers.
