  • The Value of Connections in Turbulent Times: Evidence from the United States
    The Value of Connections In Turbulent Times: Evidence from the United States Daron Acemoglu Simon Johnson Amir Kermani MIT and NBER MIT and NBER MIT James Kwak Todd Mitton University of Connecticut BYU First Version: May 2009 This Version: May 2013 Abstract The announcement of Tim Geithner as President-elect Obama’snominee for Treasury Sec- retary in November 2008 produced a cumulative abnormal return for …nancial …rms with which he had a personal connection. This return was around 15 percent from day 0 through day 10, relative to other comparable …nancial …rms. This result holds across a range of robustness checks and regardless of whether we measure connections in terms of …rms with headquar- ters in New York City, meetings he had in 2007-08, or non-pro…t board memberships he shared with …nancial services executives. There were subsequently abnormal negative returns for connected …rms when news broke that Geithner’s con…rmation might be derailed by tax issues. Roughly in line with market expectations, the Obama administration hired people from Geithner-connected …rms into top level …nancial policy positions. Geithner’s policies proved supportive of large …nancial …rms’executives, shareholders, and creditors –including for Citigroup, with which he had the strongest prior connections. But the market-perceived quantitative value of connections is broader than just for the “too big to fail” category. We argue that this value of connections re‡ects the perceived impact of relying on the advice of a small network of …nancial sector executives during a time of acute crisis and heightened policy discretion. Keywords: cultural capture, political connections, economic crises, institutions JEL Classi…cation: G01, G14, G21, G28 For helpful comments we thank seminar participants at MIT, Harvard Business School, the International Monetary Fund, the University of Alberta, BYU, and the 2012 Econometric Society meetings.

Abby Matousek Washington, DC 20004 USA [email protected] 202 296 3622 202 434 7400 fax Follow us on Twitter: @MLSFinRegUpdate www.mlstrategies.com JANUARY 14‚ 2013 Financial Services Legislative and Regulatory Update Leading the Past Week As was widely anticipated, President Obama announced that he was nominating Jack Lew to succeed Treasury Secretary Geithner. With Lew having already gone through the confirmation process twice before, it is expected that he will sail through. However, it does seem that he has some detractors, and that there could be opposition based more on policy than personality. And of course, there is “serious” concern about how his unique signature would appear on the nation’s currency. The Congressional recess last week didn’t prevent the CFPB from rolling out its much anticipated qualified mortgage, or “QM” standard, which was included as part of a larger “ability to repay rule”. This new rule, along with the continued announcements of additional settlements between lenders and their regulators, the latest one dealing with questionable foreclosure practices, is seen by some as necessary to turn the page on the core causes of the financial crisis. Similarly, in international news, the Basel Committee finalized recommendations for liquidity standards and risk reporting, with the former offering concessions to the industry. Legislative Branch Senate Senate Confirms Berner to Head Office of Financial Research On January 1st, following the release of a hold by Senator Charles Grassley (R-IA), the Senate confirmed Richard Berner to head the Treasury Department’s Office of Financial Research (OFR).

  • Institutional Design: Deliberations, Decisions, and Committee Dynamics Kevin M
    CHAPTER FOUR Institutional Design: Deliberations, Decisions, and Committee Dynamics Kevin M. Warsh Monetary policy is conducted by individuals acting by legislative remit in an institutional setting. Great attention is paid to the individuals atop the largest cen- tral banks. Central bankers today are decidedly recognizable pub- lic fi gures. Some might even be called famous. Th eir newfound status, however, would make them thoroughly unrecognizable to their predecessors. Th e central banks’ responsibilities—the legislative remits with which they are charged—are also subject to considerable scru- tiny. Monetary policymakers are tasked with keeping fi delity to their legislated mandates. Some, like the European Central Bank (ECB), are granted a single mandate, namely to ensure price sta- bility. Others, like the Federal Reserve, are tasked with a so-called dual mandate, which includes ensuring price stability and maxi- mum sustainable employment. Th e fi nancial crisis resurrected yet another objective: ensuring fi nancial stability. Considerably less attention, however, is paid to the institutional setting in which the policymakers meet, deliberate, and ultimately decide on policy. Th ese institutional dynamics alone are not deter- minative of the policy outcome. But I posit that the institutional dynamics infl uence policy decisions more than is commonly appreciated. In business, academia, and government, people and policy con- verge in institutional settings. Th ese settings matter considerably to H6930.indb 173 3/28/16 2:00:44 PM 174 Kevin M.

CONGRESS UNDERESTIMATED: THE CASE OF THE WORLD BANK By Kristina Daugirdas* International organizations undermine democracy, or so their critics charge: not only do international organizations themselves operate undemocratically,1 but they undercut demo- cratic governance within their member states. In particular, when states participate in inter- national organizations, they lose control over policy outcomes because each state must share decision-making authority with other member states.2 And within member states, national legislatures—the bodies specifically designed to be responsive to popular control—are margin- alized.3 Legislatures lack direct influence over international organizations and also have little influence over the executive branch’s interactions with such organizations.4 * Assistant Professor of Law, University of Michigan Law School.

Welcome everyone back to the Peterson Institute for International Economics. It’s a very pleasant evening. We’ve got some people here who are rarely here. We’ve got some people here who’ve been living here all week so it’s a good blend. We have one of the more festive occasions on our pre-meetings calendar, a good friend and a role model of communication Martin Wolf has agreed to premiere his Washington book and premiere his book, excuse me, do the Washington premiere for his book. It’s been a long week, I’m sorry. Do the Washington premiere for his book here at the Peterson Institute and we’re delighted to have him back on our stage. We had a great discussion with him about the Euro area with Jacob Kirkegaard and others a few months ago and tonight, we’re blessed to have two terrific policymakers who will now be able to discuss some of the implications of Martin’s book. But of course the main purpose of all this being economists is to sell. This is the book. The Shifts and the Shocks by Martin Wolf. This book is for sale outside. This book is not coming money to us; it’s money to Martin.

  • Ukraine NATO and the Geithner Doctrine
    Ukraine, NATO Enlargement, and the Geithner Doctrine Clifford G. Gaddy and Barry W. Ickes* “[T]he central paradox of financial crises is that what feels just and fair is the opposite of what’s required for a just and fair outcome.” — Former U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, The New York Times, November 5, 2011 Sober analysis of the current stand-off over Ukraine tells us we are in a deep mess, worse than people tend to recognize. The events playing out now are bigger than Ukraine (even though, as we explain elsewhere, Ukraine is important to Russia). Both Russia and the West are deeply committed to broader objectives that seem fundamentally irreconcilable. There are no easy solutions to the crisis. Finding a way out is going to be long, costly, and messy, and the best final outcome is likely to feel unsatisfactory. In this regard, the remarks by Timothy Geithner quoted above are relevant. They are even more appropriate because Russia, through its current actions in Ukraine, has exposed the post-Cold War order in Europe as the geopolitical equivalent of a financial bubble. We have enjoyed two decades of benefits from this order. But we did so under the illusion that it was nearly costless. Now we are finding out that there is a bill to pay. To understand this metaphor, we need to examine how the crisis developed. The Missing Quadrant We can explain by using a simple framework that we first developed in 2008 after the Georgia crisis. Imagine a matrix with two columns, one labelled “Strong Russia” and the other “Weak Russia,” and two rows, one for “Good Russia” and the other for “Bad Russia.” Into the quadrants of this matrix we place the various “future Russias” as they were envisioned by most Western policymakers in the early 1990s after the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Nitze School of Advanced International Studies Johns Hopkins University, Washington D.C. Former Deputy Managing Director, IMF 101 This is the Thirtieth Exim Bank Commencement Day Annual Lecture, delivered at the Y. B. Chavan Centre, Mumbai - 400 021 on Monday, March 23, 2015.

Evolving International Governance, Emerging Markets and India’s Economic Prospects Dr. John Lipsky Senior Fellow Foreign Policy Institute The Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies Johns Hopkins University Washington, DC I’m honoured to be speaking today at this important event sponsored by EXIM Bank - an institution that is playing a key role in promoting India’s trading relationships with partners around the world - and I would like to thank the management of EXIM for the opportunity to be here. Of course, EXIM Bank’s kind invitation to be the 2015 Commencement Speaker led me to look back at the institution’s history. I found it somewhat surprising that the institution commenced operations just 33 years ago. Perhaps the promotion of India’s international commercial relations previously hadn’t seemed so central to India’s future progress and prosperity, as it does today. Of course, it is sobering, daunting, but also amazing and energizing to realize how much has changed in just that relatively brief span since EXIM’s founding.
