Storm and Naastepad’s INET working paper was cited in LSE’s blog on wages in the Eurozone

Makronom cites Servass Storm’s INET working paper, Lost in Deflation

News Feb 16, 2021

“That Italy is “lazy to reform” is probably one of the most widespread myths - and has little to do with reality. In 2015, for example, the OECD rated Italy’s reform efforts as significantly higher than those of Germany and France. The Dutch economist Servaas Storm takes the same line. In an in-depth study, he found that Italian politics as a whole adhered much more closely to the (market-liberal) economic policy guidelines of the EU than Germany and France.” — Phillip Heimberger & Nikolaus Kowall, Makronom
