This paper studies the effects of domestic and foreign demand impulses in euro area economies following the Great Recession of 2008-09 and the Eurozone crisis of 2011-12. Using a global input-output framework we apply a set of metrics to assess spillover and feedback effects triggered by the dynamics of final demand. Our findings suggest that cross-country trade spillovers have had a moderate impact as compared to the role of domestic sources of final demand in explaining the contraction in income and employment. Hence, a strategy of coordinated fiscal austerity cannot be sustained by empirical evidence.

Abstract

This paper studies the effects of domestic and foreign demand impulses in euro area economies following the Great Recession of 2008-09 and the Eurozone crisis of 2011-12. Using a global input-output framework we apply a set of metrics to assess spillover and feedback effects triggered by the dynamics of final demand. Our findings suggest that cross-country trade spillovers have had a moderate impact as compared to the role of domestic sources of final demand in explaining the contraction in income and employment. Hence, a strategy of coordinated fiscal austerity cannot be sustained by empirical evidence.
