Italian Services Sector Declines in September 2007
European service industries grew at the weakest pace in two years in September. The Royal Bank of Scotland Group revealed yesterday that its European services index fell to 54.2, the lowest since August 2005, from 58 in August.
Italian Economy Watch is a weblog which follows the day to day progress of the Italian economy.
The principle focus of the weblog is Italy's growth problem,
and the issue of the sustainability of Italian public finance
in the face of the continuing low fertility and rapid ageing which Italy is experiencing.
Detailed arguments concerning the Italian economy can be found in the posts
indicated under the "Worth A Read" heading which can be found on the Weblog Home Page
Edward 'the bonobo' is a Catalan economist of British extraction based in Barcelona. By inclination he is a macro economist, but his obsession with trying to understand the economic impact of demographic changes has often taken him far from home, off and away from the more tranquil and placid pastures of the dismal science, into the bracken and thicket of demography, anthropology, biology, sociology and systems theory. All of which has lead him to ask himself whether Thomas Wolfe was not in fact right when he asserted that the fact of the matter is "you can never go home again".
He is currently working on a book with the provisional working title "Population, the Ultimate Non-renewable Resource".
Apart from his participation in A Fistful of Euros, Edward also writes regularly for the demography blog Demography Matters. He also contributes to the Indian Economy blog . His personal weblog is Bonobo Land . Edward's website can be found at EdwardHugh.net.
