Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2015 ©2014 Onur Özgöde All rights reserved ABSTRACT Governing the Economy at the Limits of Neoliberalism: The Genealogy of Systemic Risk Regulation in the United States, 1922-2012 Onur Özgöde This dissertation traces the genealogy of systemic risk as a pathology of monetary government of the economy and systemic risk regulation as a regulatory regime to govern this governmental problem as instituted under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform Act of 2010. Using resilience and vulnerability as diagnostic categories, it reconstructs the history of economic government since the New Deal as a recursive problem-solving process, plagued with negative feedback loops. It shows how different groups of experts, acting as policy entrepreneurs, problematized and framed the economy as a crisis-prone system and how they tried to reduce the catastrophe risk in the economy without restricting economic activity and growth. In doing this, the dissertation details the proposals as well as the actual governmental apparatuses set up to represent and format the economy. It argues that systemic risk regulation emerges at the intersection of two distinct, but historically interrelated genealogical threads, systemic risk and vulnerability reduction. It shows that while systemic risk has been articulated in different ways since the 1920s, its emergence in its contemporary form took place with the rise of the monetary government in the 1970s. Under monetary government, the financial system was reformatted as a vital credit-supply infrastructure that functioned as a monetary policy transmission mechanism. A critical aspect of this reformatting was the cultivation of an increasingly leveraged financial system that relied on short-term lending markets for operational liquidity. The outcome of this development, in turn, was the reframing of systemic risk as the catastrophe risk that the failure of a firm participating in these markets would result in a system-wide collapse and thereby a depression. Vulnerability reduction, in contrast, was conceived by a group of experts working in New Deal resource planning agencies between the early 1930s and the mid-1950s. This governmental technology was concerned with the resilience of the economic system to low probability but high impact macroeconomic shocks. Within this governmental strategy, the primary objective was to reduce the vulnerability of certain points of interdependence that were considered to be critical and strategic nodes within the economic system. The dissertation argues that the rise of systemic risk regulation signifies the convergence of systemic risk and vulnerability reduction for the first time since these two genealogical threads were separated in the post-Truman period. In this respect, this development points to the remapping of vulnerability reduction onto financial ontology of substantive credit flows and thus the rearticulation of monetary government with systemic tools such as network and catastrophe modeling in a substantive form.

COURSE OBJECTIVES Economic Statistics is a first course in quantitative methods that are widely-used in economics and business. The main objectives of this course are to explore methods for describing data teach students how to build and analyze probability models of economic and business situations introduce a variety of statistical methods used to draw conclusions from economic data, and to convey the conceptual and mathematical foundations of these methods lay a foundation for econometrics COURSE DESCRIPTION SEGMENT 1. The unit on descriptive statistics covers methods for describing the distribution of data on one or more variables, including measures of central tendency and dispersion, correlation, frequency distributions, percentiles, and histograms. In economics and business, we usually specify a probability model for the random process that generated the data (data-generating process, or DGP). The unit on probability theory covers the set-theoretic foundations of probability and the axioms of probability; rules of probability derived from the axioms, including Bayes’ Rule; counting rules; and joint probability distributions.

  • War Responsibility of the Chinese Communist Party, the Ussr and Communism
    WAR RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY, THE USSR AND COMMUNISM How the US became entangled in the Comintern’s master plan to communize Asia Ezaki Michio, Senior fellow, Nippon Kaigi (Japan Conference) Shock waves from Venona files continue to reverberate The Venona files have unmasked more than a few Soviet spies who infiltrated the US government during the World War II era. With the disclosure of the transcripts, what has for decades been a suspicion is on the point of becoming a certainty: the Roosevelt administration was collaborating with the Soviet Union and the CCP (Chinese Communist Party). A retrospective debate is in progress, and with it a reexamination of the historical view of that period; both have accelerated rapidly in recent years. The term “Venona files” is used to describe code messages exchanged between Soviet spies in the US and Soviet Intelligence Headquarters that were intercepted and decrypted by US Signals Intelligence Service personnel. The NSA (National Security Agency) released the transcripts to the public in 1995. As more of these messages were disclosed and analyzed, they revealed evidence likely to prove conclusively that at least 200 Soviet spies (or sympathizers) worked for the US government as civil servants. Their members included Alger Hiss ① (hereinafter I shall place numbers after the names of influential individuals, and use boldface font to indicate communists or communist sympathizers).1 Suspicions that there were Soviet spies in the Roosevelt administration date back more than 60 years. In 1948 Time magazine editor Whittaker Chambers, testifying before the House Committee on Un-American Activities, accused Alger Hiss ① of spying for the USSR.

    Public Understanding of Economics and Economic Statistics Johnny Runge and Nathan Hudson Advisory team: Amy Sippitt Mike Hughes Jonathan Portes ESCoE Occasional Paper 03 November 2020 ISSN 2515-4664 OCCASIONAL PAPER Public Understanding of Economics and Economic Statistics Johnny Runge and Nathan Hudson ESCoE Occasional Paper No. 03 November 2020 Abstract This study explores the public understanding of economics and economics statistics, through mixed-methods research with the UK public, including 12 focus groups with 130 participants and a nationally representative survey with 1,665 respondents. It shows that people generally understand economic issues through the lens of their familiar personal economy rather than the abstract national economy. The research shows that large parts of the UK public have misperceptions about how economic figures, such as the unemployment and inflation rate, are collected and measured, and who they are produced and published by. This sometimes affected participants’ subsequent views of the perceived accuracy and reliability of economic statistics. Broadly, the focus groups suggested that people are often sceptical and cynical about any data they see, and that official economic data are subject to the same public scrutiny as any other data. In line with other research, the survey found consistent and substantial differences in economic knowledge and interest across different groups of the UK population. This report will be followed up with an engagement exercise to discuss findings with stakeholders, in order to draw out recommendations on how to improve the communication of economics and economic statistics to the public.

  • An Early Harvard Memorandum on Anti-Depression Policies.1
    An Early Harvard Memorandum on anti-Depression Policies.1 Introductory Note by David Laidler (University of Western Ontario) and Roger Sandilands (University of Strathclyde) 1The typescript whose text is reproduced below is from Box 12, Folder 29, Harry Dexter White Papers, Seeley G. Mudd Manuscript Library, Princeton University Library. Published with permission of Princeton University Library. Its title, authorship and date are written at the top of its first page, in handwriting identified by Bruce Craig and Sandilands as that of White. 1 The Memorandum’s Authors and Their Message The Memorandum which this note introduces was completed by three young members of the Harvard economics department sometime in January 1932 Two of them, Lauchlin Currie and Harry Dexter White were soon to play key roles on the American, indeed the world-wide, policy scene. Both of them would go to Washington in 1934 as founding members of Jacob Viner’s “Freshman Brains Trust”. In due course, first at the Federal Reserve Board, and later at the Treasury and the White House, Currie would become a highly visible and leading advocate of expansionary fiscal policy, while White, at the Treasury, was to be a co-architect, with Keynes, of the Bretton Woods system. Both would fall victim to anti-communist witch-hunts in the late 1940s, in White’s case perhaps at the cost of his life, since he died of a heart attack in 1948 three days after a strenuous hearing before the House Committee on Unamerican Activities (HUAC).

  • Measuring and Interpreting World Economic Performance 1500-2001
    Measuring and Interpreting World Economic Performance 1500-2001 By Angus Maddison © Macro-measurement started in the seventeenth century, but did not emerge as a basic analytical tool for policy analysts and economic historians until the 1940s. In the past 60 years there has been an explosion in the sophistication of policy analysis and the interpretation of history. The explosion started in 1940 with two seminal works: Keynes’ How to Pay for the War which demonstrated its usefulness as a tool of macroeconomic management, and Colin Clark’s Conditions of Economic Progress which demonstrated its value in interpreting economic history. Dissemination and development of techniques of macro-measurement was a major objective of the founding fathers of the International Association for Research in Income and Wealth (IARIW). The initiative came from Simon Kuznets (1901-85), the pioneer of quantitative economic history. Milton Gilbert (1909-79) and Richard Stone (1913-1991) were strategic partners with enormous international leverage in creating and diffusing standard procedures for construction of comparable national accounts by official statistical offices. In the past half-century, I have followed the Kuznetsian approach, augmenting the historical accounts and broadening their geographic scope with my own research, using it to interpret economic performance with a similar analytical toolkit and the same emphasis on transparent description of source material, encouraging graduate students to follow the same path, and creating networks of scholars active in this brand of quantitative economic history. Now we have fairly comprehensive coverage for the whole of the capitalist epoch from 1820 onwards. There are of course gaps in the evidence and scope for improving its quality, but the new challenge, which I have taken up in recent years, is to push the quantitative record further back in time.
