Russia threatens to withhold aid to Cyprus over bank raid
The Times, 19/03/2013, p.1, Sam Coates, David Charter Ben Hoyle
It robs smaller investors of the protection they were promised. If this were a bank, they would be in court for mis-selling. Christopher Pissarides, a Nobel-prize-winning academic based at the London School of Economics, said that the eurozone had let down one of its smallest members and put broader stability at risk, all for a sum of money that is “a rounding error” in EU terms.
Defensive AstraZeneca takes a punt on Cambridge
Financial Times, 19/03/2013, p.16, Jonathan Guthrie
Sir Geoffrey Owen, an expert on innovation at the London School of Economics, rates Cambridge as the only bioscience cluster in the UK that rivals Boston or San Francisco in the US. Astra hopes that co-locating more of its researchers with Fenland academics and biotech entrepreneurs will mean fewer promising treatments fail clinical trials. The company’s pipeline is thin and stalwarts such as anti-cholesterol drug Crestor face generic competition.

Daily Mail, 19/03/2013, p.19, Ephraim Hardcastle
Sir Mick Jagger’s reported differences with ex-consort Jerry Hall over the future of their £10million Richmond home – can she sell it to cushion her future? – highlights again the Rolling Stone’s financial acumen. Debra Sharon Davies, author of a recent showbiz tome, Backstage Pass VIP, says Jagger used to haggle over the fees sought by ladies of the night he met during tours. Sir Mick’s year at the London School of Economics stands him in good stead

Paying for a problem they did not create
The Times Online, 18/03/2013, Sam Fleming
In insisting on the deposit raid the eurozone has let down one of its smallest and most defenceless members — and for a sum of money that is “a rounding error” in EU terms, a leading Cypriot economist has warned. Christopher Pissarides, a Nobel prize-winning academic based at the London School of Economics, told The Times that the overall bailout package agreed on Saturday may put Cyprus’s public finances on a more sustainable footing by putting the level of public debt to GDP at 100 per cent.
A devalued pound can’t save the British economy
Reuters UK (Web), 18/03/2013, Peter Gumbel
There’s another element in this equation that also may explain why the British economy hasn’t responded as well as expected to the post-crisis devaluation: Labor productivity, after years of quite robust growth, is “lousy,” in the words of John Van Reenen, director of the Centre for Economic Performance at the London School of Economics. Output per hour was 16 percentage points below the average for the rest of the G7 countries in 2011, the most recent year for which there are complete statistics. That’s the widest productivity gap since 1993, according to the Office of National Statistics. If people aren’t working as productively as their contemporaries elsewhere, it’ll take more than a weaker currency to right the economy.

New fears about inflation as ONS quietly downgrades RPI

annual inflation at 2.7pc, RPI is more than a fifth higher at 3.3pc. Now it appears that RPI is to be downgraded after all. Ros Altmann, a director of the London School of Economics, is among experts who question the apparent about-turn. She said: “The ONS has quietly downgraded the RPI – our traditional measure of inflation, on which many
