The crisis sparked a growing interest in understanding how and why we have created a world of large, unstable banks. Excessive banking activity arose not by chance. Using theoretical models from a pub- lic choice perspective, the thesis rationalizes this trend as the outcome of political decisions. I argue that the asymmetric information on the costs of banking regulation (and on the social value of making credit available to selected borrowers) incentivizes politicians to combat banking panics and equally preserve electoral support through the smart design of banking rules, and most importantly the provision of an under- priced safety net for banks. However, this incentive structure has produced a regulatory framework that now favors the emergence of large, systemically important financial in- stitutions.

  • Long-Run Effects of Exchange Rate Appreciation: Another Puzzle?
    Aussenwirtschaft 68.1 Long-run effects of exchange rate appreciation: Another puzzle? Marlene Amstad and Beatrice Weder di Mauro The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen; INSEAD, CEPR and ABFER In the short to medium run, open economy textbook models predict that a real exchange rate appreciation shock negatively impacts macroeconomic performance. Over the long run, exchange rate appreciation and economic growth are predicted to be positively associated due to Balassa- Samuelson effects. In this case, the causality runs from growth to appreciation and exchange rate changes merely reflect underlying economic development, they are not driving them. This paper starts with a selective review of recent empirical literature, which is more ambivalent and suggests several reasons as to why the sensitivity to exchange rate appreciation shocks seems lower than predicted by theory. Reviewing the long-run association of appreciation and growth suggests that causality may also be at issue and raises another puzzle, particularly pronounced in Switzerland. JEL codes: F41, F43, O42 Key words: real exchange rate, appreciation, growth The president “was confused about the dollar: Was it a strong one that’s good for the economy? Or a weak one?” Donald Trump purportedly asked National Security Advisor Flynn Introduction The confusion of Donald Trump may seem surprising, but the economics profession has pondered a similar question: “Do exchange rates and exchange rate regimes matter? And if so, how?” At issue are the channels through which movements in the (real) exchange rate transmit into the domestic economy, the timing, and the quantitative impact as well as the causality of these effects.
