This explanation may seem even more paradoxical than the first, but the logic is straightforward Governments often try to escape the hard task of improving economic efficiency through supply side reforms and rely on demand side fixes instead. So, when confronted with a growth slowdown caused by structural factors, many countries responded by lowering interest rates and stimulating credit.

If they double down on status quo policies, their reign will eventually give way to an extended period of populist inspired economic chaos and minority scapegoating. Alternatively, leaders can listen to their critics and adopt a balanced, two handed approach that applies both supply side reforms and supportive demand side measures to the challenge of ending Europe s malaise.

Soon, it will begin to taper off, and industrial output will approach full capacity. When demand begins to exceed supply, demand side stimulus policies will become increasingly ineffective, and it will be time to launch the third arrow of Abenomics growth enhancing structural reforms.

Effective implementation requires understanding key features of economic and financial interactions, including not just feedback effects, but also the behavioral aspects of private sector responses.

The speed of structural adjustment is also strongly influenced by how easily employment can shift from an economy s non tradable to its tradable side and across segments of global supply chains.

The gap between actual and potential GDP is thus a gauge of an economy s spare capacity. The distinction is also useful for policy purposes weak potential growth cannot be addressed by demand side initiatives supply side measures are needed.

Barring a true negative supply side shock, global stagflation is thus unlikely. Recent rises in oil, energy and other commodity prices reflect a variety of factors

(i) address supply side constraints, in particular, Small and Medium Enterprises of developing countries, to enable them to exploit their comparative advantage, add value and diversify

When there is sufficient excess supply in the economy, promoting supply side productivity is practically useless without efforts to boost demand. That implies that it was not appropriate to focus on growth until the deflation gap narrowed considerably that is, until now.
