The short-term fiscal implications of structural reformsECB
Typically, the main resistance to the adoption and implementation of structural reforms stems from the vested interests of affected groups in society.

Our research suggests that the US Phillips curve is still alive, supporting the Fed leadership’s view that labour market improvement should eventually push inflation back to target.

Against this background, we continue to believe that rising inflation pressures will imply that the Fed will raise rates faster in 2016 and 2017 than is currently priced in by markets.
