Luis Garicano: Europe not in economic decline versus U.S. based on PPP analysis
Europe stable against U.S. on PPP basis

Luis Garicano responds to discussions about Europe’s economic performance relative to the U.S. Using Purchasing Power Parities (PPP) as a metric, Garicano addresses arguments by Paul Krugman that Europe is not experiencing economic decline compared to the U.S.

Garicano, together with Philippe Aghion and Antonin Bergeaud, explains why current PPP methodology and calculations are key to understanding the real economic standing between the regions.

Garicano has previously raised concerns about the financial outlook of high-growth tech firms, noting that rapid revenue growth at OpenAI and Anthropic may not lead to profits. He has also criticized Italy’s handling of its recovery fund, describing the €220bn super bonus as a major oversight. These prior commentaries highlight Garicano’s focus on financial transparency and policy effectiveness.
