Buiter has a nice piece today comparing Iceland with the UK. It is implicitly a scathing criticism of Irish government policy to date.

    How significant is it that the Irish government guarantee of bank liabilities is only for a limited period?

  2. Patrick Honohan Says:

    Buiter’s piece worth noting in particular for the pointed manner in which he spells out that nationalization should not mean open-ended guarantees for existing wholesale funders.
