Episode Is Europe falling behind? – In Conversation with Paul Krugman
We often hear that Europe is falling behind. But is it really that simple?
Nobel Prize winner Paul Krugman argues that the situation is more nuanced. In the latest episode of Euro Matters, he talks to host Stefania Secola about Europe's competitiveness, innovation, fragmentation, and our place in a changing global economy.
The views expressed are those of the speakers and not necessarily those of the European Central Bank.
Recorded on 16 September and published on 6 October 2026.
