  • New Frontiers in Economics This Book Brings Together Essays From
    Cambridge University Press 0521836867 - New Frontiers in Economics Edited by Michael Szenberg and Lall Ramrattan Frontmatter More information New Frontiers in Economics This book brings together essays from leading economists analyzing the new directions that subdisciplines of economics have taken in the face of modern economic challenges. The essays represent invention and discovery in the areas of information, macroeconomics and public policies, international trade and development, finance, business, contracts, law, gaming, and government, as these areas of study evolve through the different phases of the scientific process. It offers not only a wealth of factual information on the current state of the economy, but also theoretical and empirical innovations that conceptualize reality and values in different ways from their predecessors. The new concepts presented here can guide practitioners in their search for ways to resolve problems in the various areas. Together, the essays offer the reader a balanced look at the various fields, approaches, and dimensions that comprise future directions in economic theory, research, and practice. The extensive introduction by the editors not only summarizes and reviews the implications of the contributions presented in the volume, but also examines how scientific progress takes place, with special reference to economics and finance. Michael Szenberg is Distinguished Professor of Economics at the Lubin School of Business, Pace University. He is the author or editor of many books, including Economics of the Israeli Diamond Industry (1973) with an Intro- duction by Milton Friedman, which won the Irving Fisher Monograph Award, and Eminent Economists, Their Life Philosophies (1992). Professor Szenberg has received the Kenan Award for excellence in teaching.

  • The Lucas Critique – Is It Really Relevant?
    Working Paper Series Department of Business & Management Macroeconomic Methodology, Theory and Economic Policy (MaMTEP) No. 7, 2016 The Lucas Critique – is it really relevant? By Finn Olesen 1 Abstract: As one of the founding fathers of what became the modern macroeconomic mainstream, Robert E. Lucas has made several important contributions. In the present paper, the focus is especially on his famous ‘Lucas critique’, which had tremendous influence on how to build macroeconomic models and how to evaluate economic policies within the modern macroeconomic mainstream tradition. However, much of this critique should not come as a total surprise to Post Keynesians as Keynes himself actually discussed many of the elements present in Lucas’s 1976 article. JEL classification: B22, B31 & E20 Key words: Lucas, microfoundations for macroeconomics, realism & Post Keynesianism I have benefitted from useful comments from Robert Ayreton Bailey Smith and Peter Skott. 2 Introduction In 1976, Robert Lucas published a contribution that since has had an enormous impact on modern macroeconomics. Based on the Lucas critique, the search for an explicit microfoundation for macroeconomic theory began in earnest. Later on, consensus regarding methodological matters between the New Classical and the New Keynesian macroeconomists emerged. That is, it was accepted that macroeconomics could only be done within an equilibrium framework with intertemporal optimising households and firms using rational expectations. As such, the representative agent was born. Accepting such a framework has of course not only theoretical consequences but also methodological ones as for instance pointed out by McCombie & Pike (2013). Not only should macroeconomics rest upon explicit and antiquated, although accepted, microeconomic axioms; macroeconomic theory also had to be formulated exclusively by use of mathematical modelling1.

  • State Failure in Developing Countries and Strategies of Institutional Reform
    State Failure in Developing Countries and Strategies of Institutional Reform Mushtaq H. Khan Department of Economics, SOAS, University of London. Abstract: The analysis of state failure and the policy debate have been driven by two very different underlying views of what the state does. The first, which we call the “service- delivery” view says the role of the state is to provide law and order, stable property rights, key public goods and welfarist redistributions. In failing to provide these, state failure contributes to economic under-performance and poverty. State failure of this type is in turn related to an inter-dependent constellation of governance failures including corruption and rent-seeking, distortions in markets and the absence of democracy. All of these need to be addressed to focus the state on its core service-delivery tasks. The second locates the developing country state in the context of “social transformation”: the dramatic transition these countries are going through as traditional production systems collapse and a capitalist economy begins to emerge. Dynamic transformation states have heavily intervened in property rights and devised rent-management systems to accelerate the capitalist transition and the acquisition of new technologies. State failure according to this view has been driven by the lack of institutional capacities in these respects, and more importantly, the incompatibility of institutional capacities with pre-existing distributions of power. An examination of the econometric data and historical evidence raises serious doubts as to whether the governance reforms suggested by the first view can improve growth, while the need for reforms identified by the second view are much better supported.

  • The Workshop on Digital Currency Economics and Policy Is Jointly Organised by the Asian Bureau of Finance and Economic Resea
    “The Workshop on Digital Currency Economics and Policy is jointly organised by the Asian Bureau of Finance and Economic Research (ABFER), the National University of Singapore (NUS) Business School and MAS. This Workshop, to be held in conjunction with the Singapore FinTech Festival 2018, aims to focus applied economic and financial research efforts on the implications of digital currencies for monetary policy and the financial system. It seeks to provide a platform for established academics in their mainstream areas of monetary and financial economics to apply their expertise to analysing the implications of digital currencies, and to encourage discussions on how the existing frameworks and paradigms of thinking about monetary and financial policies can be extended to incorporate this new technology-enabled development.” Competition amongst monies has a long history. Private or foreign money, if trusted, can serve as a medium of exchange, store of value and unit of account, alongside or even displacing, government-issued monies. Recent technological advancement has lowered the barriers to entry for users to create private digital instruments that behave like currencies, often without any issuer. Many of these have market prices (which reflect the value that holders assign to them) and are accepted by some merchants as payment for goods and services. Correspondingly, multiple private monies, called digital currencies, have emerged. While their economic significance is still debatable, the phenomenon raises many important monetary policy and regulatory issues. Digital monies can impact an economy, affect transaction arrangements and efficiency, and disrupt financial intermediation and related business models – especially in banking. They may modulate the relationship between traditional fiat money and price, savings and investment behaviour, and also expand avenues for illegal transactions.

  • Avinash Dixit Princeton University
    This is a slightly revised version of an article in The American Economist, Spring 1994. It will be published in Passion and Craft: How Economists Work, ed. Michael Szenberg, University of Michigan Press, 1998. MY SYSTEM OF WORK (NOT!) by Avinash Dixit Princeton University Among the signals of approaching senility, few can be clearer than being asked to write an article on one's methods of work. The profession's implied judgment is that one's time is better spent giving helpful tips to younger researchers than doing new work oneself. However, of all the lessons I have learnt during a quarter century of research, the one I have found most valuable is always to work as if one were still twenty-three. From such a young perspective, I find it difficult to give advice to anyone. The reason why I agreed to write this piece will appear later. I hope readers will take it for what it is -- scattered and brash remarks of someone who pretends to have a perpetually juvenile mind, and not the distilled wisdom of a middle-aged has-been. Writing such a piece poses a basic problem at any age. There are no sure-fire rules for doing good research, and no routes that clearly lead to failure. Ask any six economists and you will get six dozen recipes for success. Each of the six will flatly contradict one or more of the others. And all of them may be right -- for some readers and at some times. So you should take all such suggestions with skepticism.

  • The Past, Present, and Future of Economics: a Celebration of the 125-Year Anniversary of the JPE and of Chicago Economics
    The Past, Present, and Future of Economics: A Celebration of the 125-Year Anniversary of the JPE and of Chicago Economics Introduction John List Chairperson, Department of Economics Harald Uhlig Head Editor, Journal of Political Economy The Journal of Political Economy is celebrating its 125th anniversary this year. For that occasion, we decided to do something special for the JPE and for Chicago economics. We invited our senior colleagues at the de- partment and several at Booth to contribute to this collection of essays. We asked them to contribute around 5 pages of final printed pages plus ref- erences, providing their own and possibly unique perspective on the var- ious fields that we cover. There was not much in terms of instructions. On purpose, this special section is intended as a kaleidoscope, as a colorful assembly of views and perspectives, with the authors each bringing their own perspective and personality to bear. Each was given a topic according to his or her spe- cialty as a starting point, though quite a few chose to deviate from that, and that was welcome. Some chose to collaborate, whereas others did not. While not intended to be as encompassing as, say, a handbook chapter, we asked our colleagues that it would be good to point to a few key papers published in the JPE as a way of celebrating the influence of this journal in their field. It was suggested that we assemble the 200 most-cited papers published in the JPE as a guide and divvy them up across the contribu- tors, and so we did (with all the appropriate caveats).

  • Trend Inflation, Indexation, and Inflation Persistence in The
    Trend Inflation, Indexation, and Inflation Persistence in the New Keynesian Phillips Curve∗ Timothy Cogley University of California, Davis Argia M. Sbordone Federal Reserve Bank of New York Abstract A number of empirical studies conclude that purely forward-looking versions of the New Keynesian Phillips curve (NKPC ) generate too little inflation per- sistence. Some authors add ad hoc backward-looking terms to address this shortcoming. In this paper, we hypothesize that inflation persistence results mainly from variation in the long-run trend component of inflation, attributable to shifts in monetary policy, and that the apparent need for lagged inflation in the NKPC comes from neglecting the interaction between drift in trend in- flation and non-linearities in a more exact version of the model. We derive a version of the NKPC as a log-linear approximation around a time-varying inflation trend and examine whether such a model explains the dynamics of in- flation around that trend. When drift in trend inflation is taken into account, there is no need for a backward-looking indexation component, and a purely forward-looking version of the model fits the data well. JEL Classification: E31. Keywords:Trendinflation; Inflation persistence; Phillips curve; time-varying VAR. ∗For comments and suggestions, we are grateful to two anonymous referees.

  • Investment Insights
    CHIEF INVESTMENT OFFICE Investment Insights AUGUST 2017 Matthew Diczok A Focus on the Fed Head of Fixed Income Strategy An Overview of the Federal Reserve System and a Look at Potential Personnel Changes SUMMARY After years of accommodative policy, the Federal Reserve (Fed) is on its path to policy normalization. The Fed forecasts another rate hike in late 2017, and three hikes in each of the next two years. The Fed also plans to taper reinvestments of Treasurys and mortgage-backed securities, gradually reducing its balance sheet. The market thinks differently. Emboldened by inflation persistently below target, it expects the Fed to move significantly more slowly, with only one to three rate hikes between now and early 2019. One way or another, this discrepancy will be reconciled, with important implications for asset prices and yields. Against this backdrop, changes in personnel at the Fed are very important, and have been underappreciated by markets. The Fed has three open board seats, and the Chair and Vice Chair are both up for reappointment in 2018. If the administration appoints a Fed Chair and Vice Chair who are not currently governors, then there will be five new, permanent voting members who determine rate moves—almost half of the 12-member committee. This would be unprecedented in the modern era. Similar to its potential influence on the Supreme Court, this administration has the ability to set the tone of monetary policy for many years into the future. Most rumored candidates share philosophical leanings at odds with the current board; they are generally hawkish relative to current policy, favor rules-based decision-making over discretionary, and are unconvinced that successive rounds of quantitative easing were beneficial.

After three careers, the first in academia at Chicago, and at MIT, the second at the World Bank and at the International Monetary Fund, the third in the private sector at Citigroup, he is starting a fourth, as the head of the Central Bank of Israel. This interview, to be published in Macroeconomic Dynamics, took place in April 2004, before the start of his fourth career. This interview took place long before Stan had any idea he would become Governor of the Bank of Israel, a position he took up in May 2005. We have not changed the text to reflect this latest stage. Introduction. The interview took place in April 2004 in my office at the Russell Sage Foundation in New York City, where I was spending a sabbatical year. We completed it while running together in Central Park during the following weeks. Our meeting at Russell Sage was just like the many meetings we have had over the years.
