We then thought we'd make a movie of Carmen, which we recorded and shot outside on location in the township outside Cape Town called Khayelitsha.

But sometime ago, through the help of an opthamologist colleague of mine, Carmen Puliafito, who developed a laser scanner of the retina, I found out the the following.

At its 165th plenary meeting, on 31 January 2005, the Working Party elected Mr. Enrique Manalo (Philippines) as its Chairperson and Ms. Carmen Fratita (Romania) as its Vice Chairperson cum Rapporteur.

First, governments would be better served by focusing on stability, even if it means sacrificing some output. As Kenneth Rogoff and Carmen Reinhart have shown, financial crises are costly because recoveries from them are slow.

Conductor Charles Hazlewood talks about the role of trust in musical leadership then shows how it works, as he conducts the Scottish Ensemble onstage. He also shares clips from two musical projects the opera U Carmen eKhayelitsha and the ParaOrchestra.

My Petersen Institute colleague Carmen Reinhardt suspects that financial repression will be the main debt reduction method governments will rely on regulation and manipulation to force savers to pay down public debt through negative real returns on their bond investments.

CHICAGO Carmen Reinhart and Kenneth Rogoff, in their excellent, eponymous book on debt crises, argue that the most dangerous words in any language are This time is different. Perhaps the next most dangerous words are Next time will be different.

As Carmen Reinhart and Kenneth Rogoff tell it in their masterly book This Time is Different, there is no secure way of short circuiting a deep banking crisis. The crisis originates with excessive debt accumulation, which makes economies vulnerable to crises of confidence.

As Carmen Reinhart and Kenneth Rogoff argue, recoveries from crises that result from over leveraged balance sheets are slow and typically resistant to traditional macroeconomic stimulus. Over levered households cannot spend, over levered banks cannot lend, and over levered governments cannot stimulate.

The panellists were Albert Wright, the co chairman of the Millennium Project Task Force on Water and Sanitation, Carmen Arevalo Correa, the Vice Minister of Environment of Colombia, and Nafisa Barot, the Executive Trustee of Utthan, a non governmental organization in India.

But, as Carmen Reinhart and Ken Rogoff have long documented, post crisis healing is typically slow and painful. Notwithstanding the Fed s claims that its unconventional policies have been the elixir of economic renewal in the US, the healing process still has years to go.

The consensus at the time, of course, was that a robust V shaped recovery was around the corner, and it was foolish to embrace inflation heterodoxy. I thought otherwise, based on research underlying my 2009 book with Carmen M. Reinhart, This Time is Different.

The economists Ken Rogoff and Carmen Reinhart have argued that the major financial crises of the last century typically lasted a half decade or longer. In many of the previous banking crises, it was a country or a region that was hit hard (Argentina, Japan, etc.).

In their widely cited paper Growth in a Time of Debt, Kenneth Rogoff and Carmen Reinhart argue that, when government debt exceeds 90 of GDP, countries suffer slower economic growth. Many Western countries national debt is now dangerously near, and in some cases above, this critical threshold.

This is not the first time that an Argentine default has upended international capital markets. According to the tabulation that Carmen Reinhart and I compiled in our 2009 book This Time is Different, Argentina has defaulted on seven previous occasions in 1827, 1890, 1951, 1956, 1982, 1989, and 2001.

As Carmen Reinhart and Ken Rogoff s new book This Time is Different demonstrates, such balance sheet crises have historically led to economic recoveries that are slow, anemic, and below trend for many years. Sovereign debt problems are another strong possibility, given the massive re leveraging of the public sector.

In research that Carmen Reinhart and I have done on the history of financial crises, we find that public debt typically doubles, even adjusting for inflation, in the three years following a crisis. Many nations, large and small, are now well on the way to meeting this projection.

Carmen Agra Deedy All right, then you know that you have now entered parking lot purgatory, praying to that saint of perpetual availability that as you join that serpentine line of cars crawling along, some guy's going to turn on the brake lights just as you pull up behind him.

CAMBRIDGE It has been a while since a debate among academic economists attracted so much interest from the mainstream press as has the row between Carmen Reinhart and Kenneth Rogoff, on one side, and Paul Krugman, on the other. In fact, it has even become fodder for television comedy shows.

CANBERRA The brouhaha over Carmen Reinhart s and Kenneth Rogoff s article Growth in a Time of Debt may be the most conspicuous and incendiary scholarly controversy since 1974, when two earlier economists, Robert Fogel and Stanley Engerman, published a notorious book, Time on the Cross, defending the efficiency of American plantation slavery.

FRANKFURT A systematic and broad failure of regulation is the elephant in the room when it comes to reforming today s Western capitalism. Yes, much has been said about the unhealthy political regulatory financial dynamic that led to the global economy s heart attack in 2008 (initiating what Carmen Reinhart and I call The Second Great Contraction ).

MILAN In a recent set of studies, Carmen Reinhart and Kenneth Rogoff used a vast array of historical data to show that the accumulation of high levels of public (and private) debt relative to GDP has an extended negative effect on growth. The size of the effect incited debate about errors in their calculations.

CAMBRIDGE When the stakes are high, it is no surprise that battling political opponents use whatever support they can garner from economists and other researchers. That is what happened when conservative American politicians and European Union officials latched on to the work of two Harvard professors Carmen Reinhart and Kenneth Rogoff to justify their support of fiscal austerity.

The other part of the explanation follows from what the economists Guillermo Calvo and Carmen Reinhart call fear of floating. Many market participants know from past experience (recall 2008 2009, for example) that emerging economies central banks fear sharp depreciations, and that in moments of stress they tend to intervene, at least temporarily, to support the exchange rate, smoothing its decline.

NEW DELHI Why do high profile economic tussles turn so quickly to ad hominem attacks? Perhaps the most well known recent example has been the Nobel laureate Paul Krugman s campaign against the economists Carmen Reinhart and Kenneth Rogoff, in which he moved quickly from criticism of an error in one of their papers to charges about their commitment to academic transparency.

Even if one accepts the claim of the Harvard economists Carmen Reinhart and Kenneth Rogoff that very high public debt levels mean lower growth a view that they never really established and that has subsequently been discredited Australia is nowhere near that threshold. Its debt GDP ratio is only a fraction of that of the US, and one of the lowest among the OECD countries.

Professor Carmen Reinhart of the University of Maryland and I systematically compared the run up to the US sub prime crisis with the run up to the 19 worst financial crises in the industrialized world over the past 60 years. These include epic crises in the Scandinavian countries, Spain, and Japan, along with lesser events such as the US savings and loan crises of the 1980 s.

Egypt s public debt is around 80 of GDP, very close to the 90 level that economists Kenneth Rogoff and Carmen Reinhart identify as a harbinger of slower growth and heightened vulnerability to financial and fiscal crises. Egyptians need only glance north, at the European debt crisis, to understand they should sort out their debt problem now, rather than waiting until it reaches Greek proportions.

The first account relied on the view, most closely associated with the economists Carmen Reinhart and Kenneth Rogoff, that recovery from a recession takes longer if the cause was a crash in housing and financial markets. But this historical pattern is more a statement about the magnitude of the initial decline and the time needed to recover fully than a prediction about the annual rate of growth during the recovery phase.

It was this system of financial intermediation whose near collapse in 2008 seemed for many to justify the ancient warnings of the perils of indebtedness. In their exhaustive historical review of financial crises, Carmen Reinhart and Kenneth Rogoff write Again and again, countries, banks, individuals, and firms take on excessive debt in good times without enough awareness of the risks that will follow when the inevitable recession hits.

Though bonds are hardly a perfect hedge against such risks, they typically beat stocks (except, perhaps, in cases of global conflagration, when both fare badly). In recent work with Carmen and Vincent Reinhart, we show that even relatively minor shifts in disaster risk say, a rise from a normal 2 3 to 3 4 can lead to a massive decline in global real interest rates, even taking them well into negative territory.
