When analyzing terms-of-trade shocks, it is implicitly assumed that the economy responds symmetrically to changes in export and import prices. Using a sample of developing countries our paper shows that this is not the case. We construct export and import price indices using commodity and manufacturing price data matched with trade shares and separately identify export price, import price, and global economic activity shocks using sign and narrative restrictions. Taken together, export and import price shocks account for around 40 percent of output fluctuations but export price shocks are, on average, twice as important as import price shocks for domestic business cycles.

Inflation should no longer be a politically sensitive indicator. Indeed, since the early 1980s, macroeconomic policies have managed to contain it. Yet the consumer price index (CPI), which is the main indicator for measuring inflation, remains very frequently consulted by citizens, due to its multiple uses. The CPI is used for indexing wages, pensions, but also various contracts such as food pensions. It is also used by National Accounts to deflate macroeconomic values and to provide data in “real” terms. But how is this CPI measured? index? What reforms have happened to give shape to the XXIst century CPI? This book presents the CPI based on the study of the controversies that have marked its history. Set in both the socio-economic and ideas contexts, these controversies show the eminently conventional and political nature of the CPI and, therefore, of many other macroeconomic indicators, such as growth or productivity.

Les crises climatique et écologique occupent désormais le devant de la scène, mais la profondeur des questionnements nécessaires, quant à nos façons de produire, de travailler, de consommer et de nous épanouir, manque souvent à ce brouhaha médiatique.Cette anthologie, la première réunissant les principaux textes d'un des plus grands penseurs de l'écologie et du capitalisme tardif, décédé en 2007, comble ce vide.Elle offrira des repères et des perspectives solides pour les tempêtes en cours : pensée de l'autonomie et de la liberté prolongeant l'existentialisme, lecture critique des derniers avatars du capitalisme et de sa crise écosystémique. Pour Gorz, loin des mesures gestionnaires et technocratiques, l'écologie est d'emblée politique, impliquant une critique radicale des formes de domination, tant par le travail que sur la nature ou via le consumérisme.
