Although several Workshop presentations noted the potential John Laitner, Director MRRC of foreign financial investment in less developed countries to preserve high rates of return in the face of aging OECD populations, investments in “emerging markets” have proven risky in the past. It is also true that countries undergoing rapid growth may not (perhaps recalling a colonial status in the past) welcome foreign owners, and they may generate surprisingly high domestic savings rates – even rates high enough to exceed their extraordinary rates of physical investment (e.g., China).

  • The Transformation of Economic Analysis at the Federal Reserve During the 1960S
    The Transformation of Economic Analysis at the Federal Reserve during the 1960s by Juan Acosta and Beatrice Cherrier CHOPE Working Paper No. 2019-04 January 2019 The transformation of economic analysis at the Federal Reserve during the 1960s Juan Acosta (Université de Lille) and Beatrice Cherrier (CNRS-THEMA, University of Cergy Pontoise) November 2018 Abstract: In this paper, we build on data on Fed officials, oral history repositories, and hitherto under-researched archival sources to unpack the torturous path toward crafting an institutional and intellectual space for postwar economic analysis within the Federal Reserve. We show that growing attention to new macroeconomic research was a reaction to both mounting external criticisms against the Fed’s decision- making process and a process internal to the discipline whereby institutionalism was displaced by neoclassical theory and econometrics. We argue that the rise of the number of PhD economists working at the Fed is a symptom rather than a cause of this transformation. Key to our story are a handful of economists from the Board of Governors’ Division of Research and Statistics (DRS) who paradoxically did not always held a PhD but envisioned their role as going beyond mere data accumulation and got involved in large-scale macroeconometric model building. We conclude that the divide between PhD and non-PhD economists may not be fully relevant to understand both the shift in the type of economics practiced at the Fed and the uses of this knowledge in the decision making-process. Equally important was the rift between different styles of economic analysis. 1 I.

    ESSAYS ON THE CROSS-SECTION OF RETURNS Lu Zhang A DISSERTATION in Finance for the Graduate Group in Managerial Science and Applied Economics Presented to the Faculties of the University of Pennsylvania in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2002 Supervisor of Dissertation Graduate Group Chairperson Dedication To my parents, for teaching me the value of knowledge. ii Acknowledgments I am grateful to my advisor, Craig MacKinlay, for his kindness, support, and exceptional guidance, and to the rest of my dissertation committee — Andrew Abel, Amir Yaron, Leonid Kogan, and especially Joao Gomes — for their collective insight and encourage- ment. I would also like to express my gratitude to several other faculty — Michael Brandt, Domenico Cuoco, Gary Gorton, Michael Gibbons, Skander Van den Heuvel, Donald Keim, Nick Souleles, and Rob Stambaugh — for their roles in creating a supportive and exciting environment for learning. iii ABSTRACT ESSAYS ON THE CROSS-SECTION OF RETURNS Lu Zhang A. Craig MacKinlay My dissertation aims at understanding the economic determinants of the cross-section of equity returns. It contains three chapters. Chapter One constructs a dynamic general equilibrium production economy to explic- itly link expected stock returns to firm characteristics such as firm size and the book- to-market ratio. Despite the fact that stock returns in the model are characterized by an intertemporal CAPM with the market portfolio as the only factor, size and book-to- market play separate roles in describing the cross-section of returns. However, these firm characteristics appear to predict stock returns only because they are correlated with the true conditional market beta.

Haldane, and Neal Hatch 4.1 Introduction There is now widespread acceptance of price stability as a macroeconomic objective among policymakers. This price stability consensus appears to ex- tend to the public at large and, to lesser extent, to professional economists too. That is the good news from Shiller’s (1997) survey of these two sets of agents. The bad news from the survey is the reason the public gave for disliking infla- tion: it was thought to have eroded real wages over time, something that is patently at odds with the facts. There are two ways to interpret Shiller’s results. The pessimistic interpretation would be to take Shiller’s findings at face value and conclude that the costs of inflation are, literally, illusory-they derive from money illusion. The optimistic interpretation would be that policymakers and academics have, to date, done a poor job of identifying, quantifying, and ulti- mately advertising the costs of inflation to the public.

  • NEW TECHNOLOGIES and MONETARY POLICY November 2001 Preface
    COLLOQUE INTERNATIONAL NOUVELLES TECHNOLOGIES ET POLITIQUE MONÉTAIRE Novembre 2001 INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM NEW TECHNOLOGIES AND MONETARY POLICY November 2001 Preface The international symposium on "new technologies and monetary policy", held in Paris in November 2001 by the Banque de France, built on and furthered thinking on central banking issues. The topic chosen this year underlines the growing complexity of conducting monetary policy in a changing environment. The innovations relating to new information and telecommunications technologies (NICT) constitute a sweeping scientific and technical revolution that represents a major challenge for central banks. The spread of these innovations through the economy, which remains difficult to assess due to a number of uncertainties, may impact on both prices and potential output. The question we are faced with is whether these developments will lead us to change the way in which we perform our two-fold duty of ensuring price and financial stability. By drawing on the experience of academics, institutional investors and a large number of central bankers, the international financial community as a whole has been brought together to study the consequences of new technologies, thus allowing for a productive exchange of points of view. The presentations, discussions and comments in the symposium were extremely rich. I firmly believe that the publication of its proceedings will help to fuel new research in this sensitive and constantly-changing area. Lastly, I would like to extend my deepest thanks to all the speakers from the world over who contributed to the success of this symposium.
