Institute of Economics Hunts for Data on Germany's Capacity to Pay
The Institute of Economics founded by the Carnegie Corporation completed its first study Germany's Capacity to Pay directed by Moulton and Meutre. They find Germany has paid about 6.25 billion dollars in cash and kind, while France cites 2.5 billion and Germany claims 40 billion in total. The discrepancy stems from inclusion and exclusion differences with the Versailles reparations framework. Board members include Brookings Yale Hadley Houston Moulton and others from universities and industry.
