CES: "Italy During and After the 2008-2009 Crisis. Is it Over? And What are its Country Specific and Euro-area Causes and Impact? | Carolo Cottarelli

12:50pm

The Italian economy has performed very poorly in the aftermath of the 2008-09 global financial crisis. This has reflected a combination of factors, some of them pertaining to the overall Euro-area crisis, some of them Italy-specific. Now Italy seems to be emerging from the crisis, although the recovery is still tentative. Why has Italy suffered so much from the 2008-09 crisis? Has its economic outlook now really improved?

This throws an interesting light on...
