This article describes how banks in New York City, the central money market of the United States, reacted to events in Europe. An array of data sources – including memos detailing private conversations between leading bankers the governors of the New York Federal Reserve, articles written by prominent commentators, and financial data drawn from the balance sheets of commercial banks – tell a consistent tale.

  • The Chough in Britain and Ireland
    The Chough in Britain and Ireland /. D. Bullock, D. R. Drewett and S. P. Mickleburgh he Chough Pyrrhocoraxpyrrhocorax has a global range that extends from Tthe Atlantic seaboard of Europe to the Himalayas. Vaurie (1959) mentioned seven subspecies and gave the range of P. p. pyrrhocorax as Britain and Ireland only. He considered the Brittany population to be the race found in the Alps, Italy and Iberia, P. p. erythroramphus, whereas Witherby et al. (1940) regarded it as the nominate race. Despite its status as a Schedule I species, and general agreement that it was formerly much more widespread, the Chough has never been adequately surveyed. Apart from isolated regional surveys (e.g. Harrop 1970, Donovan 1972), there has been only one comprehensive census, undertaken by enthusiastic volunteers in 1963 (Rolfe 1966). Although often quoted, the accuracy of the 1963 survey has remained in question, and whether the population was increasing, stable or in decline has remained a mystery. In 1982, the RSPB organised an international survey in conjunction with the IWC and the BTO, to determine the current breeding numbers and distribution in Britain and Ireland and to collect data on habitat types within the main breeding areas. A survey of the Brittany population was organised simultaneously by members of La Societe pour 1'Etude et la Protection de la Nature en Bretagne (SEPNB). The complete survey results are presented here, together with an analysis of the Chough's breeding biology based on collected data and BTO records, along with a discussion of the ecological factors affecting Choughs. Regional totals and local patterns of breeding and feeding biology are discussed in more detail in a series of regional papers for Ireland, the Isle of Man, Wales and Scotland (Bullock*/al.

  • Regime Change and Recovery in 1930S Britain∗
    Regime change and recovery in 1930s Britain∗ George Chouliarakis Deputy Minister of Finance, Greece The University of Manchester y Tadeusz Gwiazdowski The University of Manchesterz Preliminary Version - March 2016 Abstract We show Britain’s robust recovery from the Great Depression after mid-1932 was driven by a policy regime change that ended expectations of deflation. With interest rates at their historic lower bound and little fiscal space, the regime change was driven by a cheap money policy, regular statements by the Chancellor of a desire to see prices rise and institutional change. We calibrate an open economy dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model for 1930s Britain and show the recovery from the recession occurred in two stages. We show that early exit from the gold standard in September 1931 was a critical precondition for Britain’s recovery. Nine months later the ‘managed economy’ strategy (Howson 1975, Booth 1987, Crafts 2013) spurred a lasting recovery via the reduction of real interest rates and the ending of deflationary expectations. We quantify the relative effect of the regime change in a counterfactual simulation of the model. JEL-Classification: D84, E61, F41, H12, N14.
