Download or read book Essays on Financial System Inflation and Growth written by SangKun Bae and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation presents three essays on the financial system, inflation, and growth. The first essay investigates the relationships between financial development, inflation, and economic growth. The cross-section analysis finds that the relationship between inflation and financial development is negative and nonlinear. The time series analysis by stage of inflation crisis finds that further increases in inflation have negative effects on financial development and growth in the beginning of the inflation crisis, while these relationships vanish at the closing stage of the crisis. Thus, these relationships depend on the stage of inflation. This is an advantage in this study, since use of cross-section data can not analyze the relationship between the stage of inflation and financial development. It is also found that, despite during the crises, if the roles of loans to the private sector and of loans by commercial bank can be established, higher growth is occurred. The second essay examines the hypotheses concerning the effects of money on real output using long, low frequency data for Argentina and Brazil. The annual data for Argentina are from 1884 to 1996 and for Brazil are from 1912 to 1995. Study of these countries is particularly interesting, since over the last century their experience has included extended periods of low inflation, decades of high inflation, and periods of hyperinflation. It is found that a rise in money growth is associated with a decline in output in both countries--the opposite of the Tobin effect. The introduction of intercept dummy variables to capture periods of bank insolvencies in Argentina and Brazil indicated that such episodes have a distinct and negative influence on output that is not captured by changes in the growth rate of the money aggregates. The third essay applies an ARFIMA model to investigate long-run neutrality and long-run superneutrality with monthly data including hyperinflation periods in Argentina, Brazil, and Peru. It is found that industrial production series in Argentina and Brazil are fractionally integrated processes as well as three alternative monetary aggregates in Argentina and Peru. Furthermore, in an ARFIMA framework for test of long-run neutrality, the results suggest that long-run neutrality of money holds in Argentina, Brazil, and Peru. Moreover, Peruvian data support long-run superneutrality in the ARFIMA framework.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Controlling inflation is among the most important objectives of economic policy. By maintaining price stability, policy makers are able to reduce uncertainty, improve price-monitoring mechanisms, and facilitate more efficient planning and allocation of resources, thereby raising productivity. This volume focuses on understanding the causes of the Great Inflation of the 1970s and ’80s, which saw rising inflation in many nations, and which propelled interest rates across the developing world into the double digits. In the decades since, the immediate cause of the period’s rise in inflation has been the subject of considerable debate. Among the areas of contention are the role of monetary policy in driving inflation and the implications this had both for policy design and for evaluating the performance of those who set the policy. Here, contributors map monetary policy from the 1960s to the present, shedding light on the ways in which the lessons of the Great Inflation were absorbed and applied to today’s global and increasingly complex economic environment.

Book excerpt: "This paper reviews, appraises, and critiques theoretical and empirical research on the connections between the operation of the financial system and economic growth. While subject to ample qualifications and countervailing views, the preponderance of evidence suggests that both financial intermediaries and markets matter for growth and that reverse causality alone is not driving this relationship. Furthermore, theory and evidence imply that better developed financial systems ease external financing constraints facing firms, which illuminates one mechanism through which financial development influences economic growth. The paper highlights many areas needing additional research"--NBER website

Download or read book Can It Happen Again written by Hyman Minsky and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-14 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the winter of 1933, the American financial and economic system collapsed. Since then economists, policy makers and financial analysts throughout the world have been haunted by the question of whether "It" can happen again. In 2008 "It" very nearly happened again as banks and mortgage lenders in the USA and beyond collapsed. The disaster sent economists, bankers and policy makers back to the ideas of Hyman Minsky – whose celebrated 'Financial Instability Hypothesis' is widely regarded as predicting the crash of 2008 – and led Wall Street and beyond as to dub it as the 'Minsky Moment'. In this book Minsky presents some of his most important economic theories. He defines "It", determines whether or not "It" can happen again, and attempts to understand why, at the time of writing in the early 1980s, "It" had not happened again. He deals with microeconomic theory, the evolution of monetary institutions, and Federal Reserve policy. Minsky argues that any economic theory which separates what economists call the 'real' economy from the financial system is bound to fail. Whilst the processes that cause financial instability are an inescapable part of the capitalist economy, Minsky also argues that financial instability need not lead to a great depression. This Routledge Classics edition includes a new foreword by Jan Toporowski.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2019 in the subject Economics - Other, grade: 1,0, Leuphana Universität Lüneburg (Nachhaltigkeit), course: Fundamentals of sustainability economics, language: English, abstract: According to the rising demand of sustainable economic models, based on the increasing awareness that our planet cannot withhold the current pressure of the continuous economic growth, this essay raises the question whether our current monetary system creates a growth imperative and if sovereign money is an alternative to overcome this growth imperative. The essay gives an introduction into the function of the two-tier, fractional reserve banking system and reflects the consequences of the “money creation privilege” of modern private banks. Moreover, it is discussed if and how this system creates a growth imperative in our economic system. Therefore, the neutrality theory of money is criticized as well as the common idea that interest creates growth. Furthermore, the pro-cyclical behavior of private banks and the lack of control of central banks is discussed as a possible reason for growth imperative. Still as a result there is no systemic necessity to growth based on the monetary system. The monetary system is not a driving condition of the economic growth, but it lays the necessary basis for growth. The essay concludes that it is questionable that the growth imperative can be avoided with sovereign money, especially because the causality goes from economic growth to money creation and not vice versa.
