L'histoire du cinéma est-allemand est indissociable de celle de la DEFA (Deutsche Film AG), société de production d'État, fondée en 1946 sous l'impulsion des autorités soviétiques. Avec à terme 2.200 employés, la DEFA, installée dans le quartier de Babelsberg à Potsdam, a produit jusqu'en 1992 plus de 700 longs métrages de cinéma et plus de 500 téléfilms. Des productions qui reflètent l'histoire et les contradictions de la République Démocratique Allemande (RDA), et offrent un aperçu passionnant de l'évolution des représentations morales et idéologiques portées par ses cinéastes, depuis la lutte contre le militarisme et le rejet du nazisme jusqu'à l'affrontement Est-Ouest. Mais les réalisateurs de la DEFA se trouvaient parfois écartelés entre les directives du Parti, les attentes du public et leur propre vision. Plusieurs films, critiques à l'égard du pouvoir ou esthétiquement trop audacieux marque de la ?décadence occidentale? et ont été frappés par la censure pour ne ressurgir qu'après la chute du mur.

The Bank of England's current "quantitative easing" strategy has given rise to a controversial debate about the effects and risks of unconventional monetary policy. The present paper makes two contributions to this debate. First, it provides a systematic overview of unconventional policy options, drawing from existing theoretical and empirical studies. Against this backdrop, it then analyzes the BoE's specific policies, discussing their effectiveness so far and putting them into a cross-country context. Tentative evidence on the BoE's quantitative easing is moderately encouraging, although the strategy is neither guaranteed to succeed nor as perilous as some of its detractors claim.

This paper studies inflation dynamics during 25 historical episodes in advanced economies where output remained well below potential for an extended period. We find that such episodes generally brought about significant disinflation, underpinned by weak labor markets, slowing wage growth, and, in many cases, falling oil prices. Indeed, inflation declined by about the same fraction of the initial inflation rate across episodes. That said, disinflation has tended to taper off at very low positive inflation rates, arguably reflecting downward nominal rigidities and well-anchored inflation expectations. Temporary inflation increases during episodes were, in turn, systematically related to currency depreciation or higher oil prices. Overall, the historical patterns suggest little upside inflation risk in advanced economies facing the prospect of persistent large output gaps.

This paper studies how the effects of government spending vary with the economic environment. Using a panel of OECD countries, we identify fiscal shocks as residuals from an estimated spending rule and trace their macroeconomic impact under different conditions regarding the exchange rate regime, public indebtedness, and health of the financial system. The unconditional responses to a positive spending shock broadly confirm earlier findings. However, conditional responses differ systematically across exchange rate regimes, as real appreciation and external deficits occur mainly under currency pegs. We also find output and consumption multipliers to be unusually high during times of financial crisis.

The impact of fiscal stimulus depends not only on short-term tax and spending policies, but also on expectations about offsetting measures in the future. This paper analyzes the effects of an increase in government spending under a plausible debt-stabilizing policy that links current stimulus to a subsequent period of spending restraint. Accounting for such spending reversals brings an otherwise standard new Keynesian model in line with the stylized facts of fiscal transmission, including the crowding-in of consumption and the 'puzzle' of real exchange rate depreciation. Time series evidence for the U.S. supports the empirical relevance of spending reversals.
