Valuation/revenue would be price/sales, or P/S if you will. The P/E is a "forward P/E", with P = "today's price" and E = "someone's expectation of next year's earnings".

Signed types have the same "wraparound" problem, i think the OP meant that they don't have this problem at the zero boundary.

by mohawk 11y ago
On the contrary! Unsigned types are the only ones in C were everything is sanely defined, they are the integers mod 2^n. Signed types have undefined behaviour on overflow in C. In-band signalling of error states is error-prone. It is un

Well, i was curious about the exact meaning of austerity so i looked it up before i wrote the post. The three or four sites that i visited (amongst them Wikipedia) agreed with the meaning i used. Structural deficit is a poorly-defined term

Greece did not suffer from an asset bubble, the other countries you mentioned did. Interest rate convergence was one of the criteria for introduction of the Euro: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euro_convergence_criteria#

A politicians' goal is to get reelected. If not, their party will quickly replace them with someone who has that goal. Budget cuts, when they are made, are done in the places where they will minimise the political damage to the party

First, i'd like to state that i'm talking about austerity in general, not about Greece in particular. Greece needs a debt restructuring, there's no way around it. The whole reason for all that austerity was that some countri
