The Greek Connection(s): The Social Organization of the Cigarette-Smuggling Business in Greece

Despite the fact that cigarette smuggling has a long history in specific contexts, it has only relatively recently received some media attention in Greece. It is now suggested that contraband cigarettes represent 8 percent of total cigarette consumption in the country and that the cigarette-smuggling business deprives the Greek state of millions in taxes. The purpose of this article, which draws on a variety of data sources and builds on a previous study of a cigarette-smuggling network in Greece, is to provide an account of the social organization of the cigarette black market in Greece

A Small Macro-Econometric Model for Greece: Implications About the Sustainability of the Greek External Debt

This paper develops a small-scale macro-econometric model for Greece. The model will be used in order to examine the impact of macroeconomic policies on the real sector of the economy during the very difficult adjustment period that the Greek economy is currently facing. The model combines short-run Keynesian dynamics with a consistent neoclassical supply side. In this version potential output is given by a constant returns-to-scale Cobb-Douglas type production function. In most cases the short-run dynamics are modeled through an Error Correction Mechanism (ECM) which assumes the presence of adjustment costs in order to smooth-out the long-run equilibrium. A public sector side is also used in order to examine the impact of various shocks on public finance (specifically public debt)

Claiming credit and avoiding blame : political accountability in Greek and Turkish responses to the COVID‐19 crisis

Using a framework developed by Hood and adapting it to crises, we explore the factors behind the use of three types of political accountability strategies— presentational, pol-icy, and agency—during responses to the COVID-19 cri-sis in Greece and Turkey. We situate the comparison in the current political context and conclude with implications for political survival as leaders attempt to balance public ac-countability, political expediency, and national health
