OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Development of the euro financial “ecosystem” is dampened by the scarcity of euro-denominated liquid short-term safe instruments to serve as “near money” and high-quality collateral available to all. It will be argued that the ECB has the means and the mandate to eliminate this scarcity by issuing a large volume of its own debt certificates, thereby strengthening monetary transmission and stability. Issuing such “E-bills” would avoid many of the technical, economic, and political obstacles that stymied other proposals for common euro securities. However, the E-bills proposal may still face political resistance related to the balance of power between member states and common European institutions.
Speaker(s):
Daniel C. Hardy (St Antony’s College, Oxford)
Gabriele Giudice (European Commission)
Demos Ioannou (European Central Bank)
Chair: Tim Vlandas (St Antony’s College, Oxford)
