8. LITERATURE REVIEW
Sebastian Barnes, Jeremy Lawson and Artur Radziwill1
Demographic factors and income and growth differential
has an impact on current account balances.
Both trade openness and structural rigidity improve the
current account imbalances.
Blanchard and Giavazzi (2002)
Current account imbalances could be explained by greater
financial and goods market integration, leading to deficits in
countries with higher growth prospects and surpluses in the
more mature economies.

9. Krugman and Samuelson
The Greece debt crisis was the cause of adopting
Euro as their currency by replacing drachma.
 Greece also could not raise its interest rates
because it was controlled by the European Central
bank.
In order to reduce government spending Greece has
to lower wages, prices and costs of goods to remain
competitive.
