Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis contributes to the literature emphasizing the role of incomplete financial markets for the design of macroeconomic policies. I use two main frameworks for my analysis: In a small open economy model with default risk and incomplete markets, I study two questions addressing how predictions for optimal fiscal policy over the business cycle change in the presence of borrowing constraints. I use a standard incomplete markets model with heterogeneous agents to assess how government policies can alleviate the welfare losses caused by financial frictions. In the first chapter I argue that government spending can optimally be procyclical when governments cannot borrow in recessions. I decompose total expenditure into public goods and social spending and show that the latter component is crucial in driving this result. Furthermore, I show that higher income inequality exacerbates the welfare losses from conducting countercyclical policies without financial market access. The second chapter of this thesis is joint work with C. Gottlieb. We analyze to which extent a simple redistributive policy in the form of transfers can alleviate the welfare losses caused by frictional insurance markets. We find that targeting transfers towards low income households improves welfare, but reduces output per hours worked. Redistribution is more effective, and welfare is higher than under lumpsum transfers at low tax rates. In the third chapter, I study the role of spending rules on optimal tax policy in a small open economy with a government that lacks commitment to repay its external debt. I find that neither pro- nor countercyclical policy rules qualitatively change the predictions for optimal tax policy.
Book Synopsis The Economics of Imperfect Markets by : Giorgio Calcagnini
Download or read book The Economics of Imperfect Markets written by Giorgio Calcagnini and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-10-22 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a collection of eleven papers concerned with the effects of market imperfections on the decision-making of economic agents and on economic policies that try to correct the inefficient market outcomes due to those imperfections. As a consequence, real and financial imperfections are related : economic decisions are simultaneously affected by imperfections present both in real and financial markets. Notwithstanding the obvious fact that market interdependence is not novel, scholar interests are typically concentrated on the specific relationship among economic decisions originating from particular imperfections. This explains why, in the case of perfect financial markets, we can speak of "the" us.
Book Synopsis Financial Markets, Asymmetric Information, and Macroeconomic Equilibrium by : Fabrizio Mattesini
Download or read book Financial Markets, Asymmetric Information, and Macroeconomic Equilibrium written by Fabrizio Mattesini and published by Dartmouth Publishing Company. This book was released on 1993 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of the interaction between the financial sector and the sector of the economy is one of the most recent advances in macroeconomic theory. While mainstream economics assigns a passive role to the financial sector there is a growing body of literature which emphasizes the importance of financial intermediaries in explaining fluctuations and the determination of the process through which monetary policy impulses are transmitted to the rest of the economy. This literature has its origin in the models that rely on asymmetric information to explain imperfections in financial markts and in empirical evidence collected through various econometric techniques and through historical studies. This book surveys the relevant work ion the subject, evaluates the empirical evidence and the explanatory power of the theories proposed and furnishes new and empirical results.

Book Synopsis Market Imperfections and Macroeconomic Dynamics by : Jean-Olivier Hairault
Download or read book Market Imperfections and Macroeconomic Dynamics written by Jean-Olivier Hairault and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2002-03-31 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Market Imperfections and Macroeconomic Dynamics is based upon a collection of papers originally presented at the 5th Theory and Methods in Macroeconomics (T2M) meeting in Paris, France, 2002. The contributions in this volume focus on a central theme: the aggregate dynamic consequences of market imperfections. Such effects are of great interest to researchers in macroeconomics as these imperfections play a primary role in the persistence of aggregate output, the characteristics of the business cycles and the interactions of agents over time. Incorporating up-to-date techniques and methods, these contributions exemplify the remarkable progress made by macroeconomists in tackling these issues. The primary market for Market Imperfections and Macroeconomic Dynamics is academic researchers in economics and graduate students specializing in macroeconomics. Divisions of economic studies in public administration and in financial organizations will also find this book beneficial.
Book Synopsis Essays in Macroeconomics and Financial Market Imperfections by : Alexander Wulff
Download or read book Essays in Macroeconomics and Financial Market Imperfections written by Alexander Wulff and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation consists of four self-contained papers that deal with the implications of financial market imperfections and heterogeneity. The analysis mainly relates to the class of incomplete-markets models but covers different research topics. The first paper deals with the distributional effects of financial integration for developing countries. Based on a simple heterogeneous-agent approach, it is shown that capital owners experience large welfare losses while only workers moderately gain due to higher wages. The large welfare losses for capital owners contrast with the small average welfare gains from representative-agent economies and indicate that a strong opposition against capital market opening has to be expected. The second paper considers the puzzling observation of capital flows from poor to rich countries and the accompanying changes in domestic economic development. Motivated by the mixed results from the literature, we employ an incomplete-markets model with different types of idiosyncratic risk and borrowing...
Book Synopsis The Credit Channel in a Small, Open Economy by : Huntley Schaller
Download or read book The Credit Channel in a Small, Open Economy written by Huntley Schaller and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Financial market imperfections - particularly finance constraints - play an important role in modern corporate finance, but relatively little work has been done on the interaction between corporate finance and the broad operation of financial markets. In particular, relatively little has been done on the interaction between corporate finance and monetary policy. In an influential paper, Chevalier and Scharfstein (1996) argue that financial market imperfections can lead to a link between markups and business-cycle fluctuations. The key idea is that financial market imperfections imply that the markup will be more countercyclical. Under imperfect competition, firms face a tradeoff between increasing market share (by keeping prices low today) and earning monopoly profits in the future - or charging higher prices today to boost current profits. Market share is a form of investment, so the optimal tradeoff depends on the discount rate. Finance constrained firms will face a higher shadow discount rate and will therefore reduce investment in market share. A negative shock, such as monetary policy tightening, implies that finance constraints bind more tightly. This implies that constrained firms will charge higher prices (for given marginal cost). In other words, markups will rise for these firms. If the Chevalier-Scharfstein model is correct, contractionary monetary policy should have different implications for the price paths of firms, depending on the extent to which they are affected by financial market imperfections. A contractionary monetary policy shock will cause the balance sheets of financially dependent firms to deteriorate and will cause the supply curves for various types of credit to shift to the left, increasing the shadow discount rate and inducing these firms to increase their markups, implying that their prices will be higher than they would be in the absence of financial market imperfections. This is a potential explanation for macroeconomic price stickiness that is different in character from the standard explanations, such as menu costs or sticky information. We find evidence consistent with the Chevalier-Scharfstein model. In addition, we use the Rajan-Zingales measure of financial dependence to examine other aspects of the response of financially dependent firms to monetary policy.
Book Synopsis Creating an Efficient Financial System by : Thorsten Beck
Download or read book Creating an Efficient Financial System written by Thorsten Beck and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2006 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Financial sector development fosters economic growth and reduces poverty by widening and broadening access to finance and allocating society's savings more efficiently. The author first discusses three pillars on which sound and efficient financial systems are built: macroeconomic stability and effective and reliable contractual and informational frameworks. He then describes three different approaches to government involvement in the financial sector: the laissez-faire view, the market-failure view and the market-enabling view. Finally, the author analyzes the sequencing of financial sector reforms and discusses the benefits and challenges that emerging markets face when opening their financial systems to international capital markets.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Market Behaviour and Macroeconomic Modelling discusses several state-of-the-art developments in the modelling approach to market behaviour in macroeconomic modelling. Leading experts in this field, deal with the implications of market imperfections in commodity markets, capital markets and labour markets for macroeconomic modelling and stabilization policy. They demonstrate that incorporating market imperfections leads to very different policy recommendations than those derived from the standard perfect competition model.
Book Synopsis Financial Market Imperfections and Business Cycles by : Joseph E. Stiglitz
Download or read book Financial Market Imperfections and Business Cycles written by Joseph E. Stiglitz and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper develops a simple model of macroeconomic behavior which incorporates the impact of financial market "imperfections, " such as those generated by asymmetric information in financial markets. These information asymmetries may lead to breakdowns in markets, like that for equity, in which risks arm shared. In particular, we analyze firm behavior in the presence of equity rationing and imperfect futures markets, in which there are lags in production. Aft a consequence, firms act in a risk-averse manner. We trace out the macroeconomic consequences, and show that they are able to account for many of the widely observed aspects of actual business cycles
Book Synopsis Finance and Development by : Alberto Giovannini
Download or read book Finance and Development written by Alberto Giovannini and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1993-03-25 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Progress towards economic and monetary union in Western Europe has highlighted the importance of regional policies, while events in Eastern Europe have focused attention on the role of finance in development and may lead to a substantial diversion of capital flows. This volume from the Centre for Economic Policy Research addresses the relationships between growth, convergence, and capital market imperfections. Theoretical papers shed light on the debates over the role of financial structure in economic development and the scope for government intervention to promote regional development. Highly topical empirical papers examine the relationship between international lending and economic development in a historical perspective; the experience of regional policies in the European Community, and of financial liberalization in high-growth East Asian economies; and the development of financial markets in Eastern Europe.

Download or read book Macroeconomic Shocks and Unconventional Monetary Policy written by Naoyuki Yoshino and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2019 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Barely two decades after the Asian financial crisis Asia was suddenly confronted with multiple challenges originating outside the region: the 2008 global financial crisis, the European debt crisis, and finally developed economies' implementation of unconventional monetary policies. The implementation of quantitative easing, ultra-low interest rate policies, and negative interest rate policies by a number of large central banks has given rise to concerns over financial stability and international capital flows. Macroeconomic Shocks and Unconventional Monetary Policy: Impacts on Emerging Markets explains how shocks stemming from the global financial crisis have affected macroeconomic and financial stability in emerging Asia. Macroeconomic Shocks and Unconventional Monetary Policy: Impacts on Emerging Markets brings together the most up-to-date knowledge impacts of recent macroeconomic shocks on Asia's real economy; the spillover effects of macroeconomic shocks on financial markets and flows in Asia; and key challenges for monetary, exchange rate, trade and macro prudential policies of developing Asian economies. It is authored by experts in the field of international macroeconomics from leading academic institutions, central banks, and international organizations including the International Monetary Fund, the Bank for International Settlement, and the Asian Development Bank Institute.
Book Synopsis The Great Recession by : Robert L. Hetzel
Download or read book The Great Recession written by Robert L. Hetzel and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2012-04-16 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since publication of Hetzel's The Monetary Policy of the Federal Reserve (Cambridge University Press, 2008), the intellectual consensus that had characterized macroeconomics has disappeared. That consensus emphasized efficient markets, rational expectations and the efficacy of the price system in assuring macroeconomic stability. The 2008–9 recession not only destroyed the professional consensus about the kinds of models required to understand cyclical fluctuations but also revived the credit-cycle or asset-bubble explanations of recession that dominated thinking in the nineteenth century and the first half of the twentieth century. These 'market-disorder' views emphasize excessive risk taking in financial markets and the need for government regulation. The present book argues for the alternative 'monetary-disorder' view of recessions. A review of cyclical instability over the last two centuries places the 2008–9 recession in the monetary-disorder tradition, which focuses on the monetary instability created by central banks rather than on a boom-bust cycle in financial markets.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2010 in the subject Economics - Macro-economics, general, grade: 67, De Montfort University Leicester, course: Contemporary Business Issue, language: English, abstract: The purpose of this paper is to consider the rationale of economic regulation, why regulation has welfare benefits and why consumers of financial services, particularly retail consumers demand regulation of the economy. A poll carried out by the BBC showed that most people want their government to have more control over the running of their economy. However, some academic liberals (Bentson, 1998) are skeptical of the benefits of such regulation. These critics of economic regulation argues variously as follows; that there is no market failures and imperfections, and that if they do exist they are not sufficiently serious to warrant regulation, and that regulation may not practically solve these failures and imperfections, and that if it does, it can only do so by imposing cost that might exceed the cost of the original problem, and that imposing regulation raises serious moral hazards, and finally, that regulation imposes a wide range of cost which is ultimately borne by consumers.
