I’ve agreed to write some posts on European issues for Forbes.com. They have a far higher readership than I get from this blog or my Twitter feed, so it’s a good opportunity to get more readers. That said, I’m still going to post content here as before. Everything I write for Forbes will be linked to here and, of course, I will continue to post my usual mix of Irish-related posts and links to presentations and papers, so there will be no reduction in content here.

Anyway, here‘s my first post for Forbes, which is a quick summary of the problems facing the euro area and my reaction to the summit. Yes, my reaction is quite positive. No, I haven’t been captured by aliens and replaced by a clone.
