The dynamics of negativity in media outlets during the Greek sovereign bond crisis
It is well known that the media display an asymmetric reaction to real-world events, which results in the prioritisation of negative coverage. However, there is still much to discover regarding the qualitative distinctions between different media types and the dynamics of negativity. This article investigates how different media outlets framed Greece in evaluative terms during and after the Sovereign Bond Crisis relying on 12,376 articles publish…
Do as I say, not as I do? Economists policymakers and fiscal consolidation
Fiscal Consolidation and Support for the Common Currency
The existence of a common currency and further integration within the European Monetary Union crucially depends on public legitimacy. As a response to the Global Financial Crisis and subsequent Sovereign Bond crisis, several European governments have implemented fiscal consolidation policies in an attempt to restore investors' confidence. According to its critics, though, austerity has also weakened public confidence in the European Union and its…
Trade and Exchange Rate Competition in East Asia
Exchange rate manipulation—the active devaluation of a currency through intervention in the foreign exchange market—is a frequent trigger of international disputes. Yet it is not an obvious policy choice: as a blunt tool to boost export competitiveness, it is disliked by citizens and importers because of the loss of purchasing power it entails, and because it benefits those with investment abroad at the expense of those with savings at home. It i…
European Identity and the Euro in Kosovo
How can nationalist leaders stand for political independence and monetary sovereignty while embracing the use of a supra‐national currency? At first sight, unilateral euroisation—the de facto adoption of the euro instead of a national currency—seems inconsistent with the goals of nationalism and independence. The apparent inconsistency can be explained by the flexible and complex nature of nationalism, which allows policy makers to incorporate se…
The Greek crisis as a “morality tale”? An empirical assessment
Credit and debt are more than just material exchanges within a market economy, they are also social constructs embedded in moral judgments about the character of the agents involved. During the recent European Sovereign Bond crisis, some commentators noted how a similarly loaded moral media discourse juxtaposed “virtuous” Northern European countries on the one side, and “spendthrift, lazy” Southern European ones on the other side. In this article…
Preferential Trade Agreements and Leaders’ Business Experience
Many theories attempt to explain the determinants of preferential trade agreements (PTAs) and their design. Existing accounts, however, focus almost exclusively on structural or domestic factors and ignore individual leaders. In this paper, I develop and test novel theoretical claims regarding executive leaders’ prior career in business and their trade cooperation policy once in office. I construct a new dataset on the heads of the executive’s bu…
Political independence through monetary dependence? The case of Montenegro
As an economic policy, currency substitution – the use of a foreign currency in lieu of a domestic currency – is rarely associated with nationalism. This is due to a natural tendency to equate nationalism with economic mercantilism and with the political need to foster nationalist feelings among the population. This need not to be the case, though, as the case of the newly independent Montenegro demonstrates. How can we explain the apparent incon…
