  • Exchange Rate Volatility in Integrating Capital Markets
    NBER WORKING PAPERS SERIES EXCHANGE RATE VOLATILITY IN INTEGRATING CAPITAL MARKETS Giancarlo Corsetti Vittorio Grilli Nouriel Roubini Working Paper No. 3570 NATIONAL BUREAU OF ECONOMIC RESEARCH 1050 Massachusetts Avenue Cambridge, MA 02138 December 1990 We thank Rudiger Dornbusch, Paolo Pesenti, Rony Hamaui and the participants to the 1990 Money Study Group Conference of the London Business School for helpful comments. Giancarlo Corsetti acknowledges financial support by the Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche. This paper is part of NBER's research program in International Studies. Any opinions expressed are those of the authors and not those of the National Bureau of Economic Research. NBER Working Paper #3570 December 1990 EXCHANGE RATE VOLATILITY IN INTEGRATING CAPITAL MARKETS ABS TRACT This paper investigates the relationship between international capital liberalization and exchange rate volatility. While the effects of a capital controls liberalization on the transaction volume in the foreign exchange market are theoretically unambiguous, the effects on the volatility of exchange rate can have either sign. On one hand, the liberalization leads to increasing economy—wide and investor-specific uncertainty. On the other hand, the augiented number of participants in the market should reduce exchange rate fluctuations. The uncertainty effects should be dominant in the short run, while the increase in the number of traders in the longer run should make the market thicker and tend to reduce volatility. It is shown that, for a sample of countries which have liberalized capital controls in the last 15 years, structural breaks in the process generating exchange rate volatility have occurred very close to the time when liberalization measures were implemented.

  • Roma, Dicembre 2011
    Alla cortese attenzione di: Corrado Passera, Ministro dello Sviluppo economico, Infrastrutture e Trasporti Corrado Clini, Ministro dell’Ambiente, del Territorio e del Mare Lorenzo Ornaghi, Ministro dei Beni Culturali Mario Catania, Ministro dell’Agricoltura Piero Gnudi, Ministro degli Affari regionali e del Turismo Fabrizio Barca, Ministro della Coesione territoriale Vittorio Grilli, Viceministro dell’Economia e delle Finanze Roma 16 dicembre 2011 Signori Ministri, Scriviamo in previsione degli attesi provvedimenti di attuazione del dlgs 28 - 2011, in particolare di quello che riguarderà gli incentivi per gli impianti eolici. Anche se condividiamo la sostanza della riforma che sostituisce i certificati verdi con le aste al ribasso per gli impianti di potenza superiore ai 5 MW e la ridefinizione degli incentivi negli altri casi, restiamo preoccupati per il proliferare di giganteschi impianti eolici nei luoghi più belli e integri d’Italia e temiamo che i tempi e le scelte adottate possano essere inadeguati all’urgenza e alla gravità della situazione. Noi crediamo che, nell’attuale congiuntura economica, la modifica del sistema incentivante debba obbligatoriamente tener conto di alcuni fattori: - Anche se non riguardano la materia fiscale, gli incentivi alle fonti rinnovabili sono a carico dei contribuenti italiani e delle imprese nazionali nella loro veste di consumatori-utenti: è opportuno dunque che rispondano a criteri di equità e congruità. - nel caso dell’eolico e del fotovoltaico gli incentivi rappresentano un enorme fiume di danaro proveniente dai contribuenti italiani, che prende la via dei paesi produttori e delle multinazionali". - l’eccesso d’incentivi a queste due fonti ha penalizzato, nei fatti, la promozione di altre fonti, come quelle termiche, a prevalente tecnologia e produzione italiana e sottraggono necessari finanziamenti alla ricerca scientifica sulle rinnovabili per arrivare alla microgenerazione a vantaggio delle popolazioni e non alle grandi centrali che mantengono un regime di oligopolio.

  • Italy Became Vulnerable to International Market Tensions Due to Its Public Finances and the Conditions of the Real Economy
    Abridged version Submitted by Prime Minister Mario Monti and Minister of the Economy and Finance Vittorio Grilli in agreement with the Minister for European Affairs Enzo Moavero Milanesi Adopted by the Cabinet on 10 April 2013 The Economic and Financial Document (EFD) is a key step of the economic- financial and budget planning cycle. It represents an opportunity to look to the past, but more importantly, to imagine the future of the country’s economic and budget policies from a European perspective. This year, however, the preparation of the EFD comes at a particular time with reference to the political and institutional structure of our country. Following the general elections of 24 and 25 February, procedures are now under way for the formation of a new government. As provided by the Constitution and also recalled by the President of the Republic, Giorgio Napolitano, until a new government is appointed, the outgoing Government remains in office for current affairs and for the adoption of urgent economic measures. The presentation of the Economic and Financial Document represents a requirement of Law 196 of 2009 (as amended by Law 39 of 2011), which the Government is required to fulfil for the country and for ensuring the compliance with the European Semester deadlines. In line with the ‘prorogatio’ phase, the outgoing Government cannot come up with future scenarios that imply legislative/policy decisions or the introduction of new, broad-based policies that have not already been agreed by Parliament. From an economic-financial perspective, the 2013 EFD assumes the objective of maintaining the balanced budget in structural terms during the reference period, as provided by the rules of the EU Stability and Growth Pact, as amended in November 2011, and confirmed by the Fiscal Compact, and as sanctioned by our Constitution.

  • IMPROVING FINANCIAL EDUCATION EFFICIENCY 9 June 2010, Rome Final Agenda
    SUMMARY RECORD OF THE OECD-BANK OF ITALY SYMPOSIUM ON FINANCIAL LITERACY: IMPROVING FINANCIAL EDUCATION EFFICIENCY 9 JUNE 2010, ROME Introduction and background The OECD-Bank of Italy symposium on Improving Financial Education Efficiency was held in Rome on 9th June 2010. It was co-organised by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the Bank of Italy, with the sponsorship of the Russian/World Bank/OECD Trust fund, and held at the Bank of Italy headquarters, Palazzo Koch. The symposium followed particularly fruitful meetings with members of the International Network on Financial Education (INFE) Expert Subgroups on the 7th June 2010 and the Fifth Meeting of INFE network members on the 8th June 2010. It provided an excellent opportunity to disseminate information about the progress made by INFE and hear about other work being undertaken that could inform policy makers throughout the world. An international audience of high-level governmental officials and experts from public bodies and regulatory and supervisory authorities attended the symposium along with other senior decision makers and academics from OECD countries and non-OECD members’ economies. Around 150 participants coming from 43 OECD countries and non-member economies (including 4 Enhanced Engagement countries: Brazil, India, Indonesia and South Africa) attended the workshop – see attached list of participants. The symposium took on a different format from previous OECD Financial Literacy conferences, with a particular emphasis on highlighting relevant research papers and encouraging dialogue between academics and policy makers. The mix of speakers and discussants highlights this change in focus, with professors and other academics from universities around the world presenting alongside senior policy makers.
