  • Chapter 24 Financial Accelerator
    Chapter 24 Financial Accelerator Starting in 2007, and becoming much more pronounced in 2008, macro-financial events took center stage in the macroeconomic landscape. The “financial collapse,” as many have termed it, had its proximate cause in the U.S., as several financial-sector institutions experienced severe or catastrophic downturns in the values of their financial assets. Various and large-scale policy efforts were implemented very quickly in the U.S. to try to contain possible consequences. The motivation behind these policy efforts was not to save the financial sector for its own sake. Instead, the rationale for policy responses was that severe financial downturns often lead to contraction in real macroeconomic markets (for example, think in terms of goods markets). Despite a raft of policy measures to try to prevent such effects, the severe financial disruption did cause a sharp contraction of economic activity in real markets: GDP declined by nearly four percent in the third quarter of 2008, the time period during which financial disruptions were at their most severe. This quarterly decline was the largest in the U.S. since the early 1980s, and GDP continued declining for the next three quarters. But the reason this pullback in GDP was especially worrisome was something history shows is common. When it is triggered by financial turbulence, a contraction in real economic activity can further exacerbate the financial downturn. This downstream effect was the real fear of policy makers. If this downstream effect occurred, the now- steeper financial downturn then could even further worsen the macro downturn, which in turn could even further worsen the financial downturn, which in turn could even further worsen the macro downturn, and ….

Blecker Professor of Economics, American University Washington, DC, USA, [email protected] Introductory Lecture, 22nd FMM/IMK Conference “10 Years After the Crash: What Have We Learned?” Berlin, Germany, 25 October, 2018 Shameless advertisement and important acknowledgement • Portions of this presentation are based on the book manuscript: Robert A. Blecker and Mark Setterfield, Heterodox Macroeconomics: Models of Demand, Distribution and Growth, Cheltenham, UK: Edward Elgar Publishing, Ltd., 2019, forthcoming. • I also present results from the dissertation of one of my doctoral students (used with permission): Michael Cauvel, Three Essays on the Empirical Estimation of Wage-led and Profit-led Demand Regimes, unpublished PhD dissertation, American University, Washington, DC, USA, July 2018. Distribution and growth: the big questions • Does a society have to endure worse inequality for its economy to grow and create jobs? • Or can growth and employment creation be consistent with greater distributive equity? • Historically, economists believed that distributional equity had to be sacrificed to achieve faster growth • Ricardo, Marx, Lewis-Ranis-Fei, Kaldor, etc.: faster growth generally requires a higher profit share or greater inequality • At least in the early stages of development (Kuznets curve) • Kuznets curve now largely debunked by Piketty • Recent empirical studies are finding that lower inequality is often

  • Contract Interpretation Manual
    CONTRACT INTERPRETATION MANUAL Article 43 SPECIAL LEAVE Interpretation Guidelines This is an example of a non-discretionary leave with clear and objective conditions for all the leaves addressed by this provision. Article 43.01 – Accumulation Effective June 4, 2006, a RFT employee earns special leave credits at the rate of ½ a day every 4 weeks to a maximum entitlement of 20 days x 7.5. Once the bank drops below 20 days, it is replenished on the basis of earning more credits. The normal full day is 7.5 hours. 1. Regular employees who have earned over 20 days of special leave credits as of June 4, 2006 will maintain their existing banks. 2. The new language is effective 1-month post-ratification (i.e. June 4, 2006). The Union agreed to the reduction in maximum credits in order to expand the application of special leave in Article 43.02(C). A RPT employee’s accumulation of special leave credits is prorated (Article 11.03 (B)). However, the use of special leave is not prorated, RPT employees are entitled to use special leave credits at the same rate as RFT employees per working hour of leave from their scheduled hours of work (Royal Columbian Hospital and BCNU, February 28, 1994 (Laing)). The Employer is required to record any special leave hours used within a pay period on the employee’s statement of wages (Article 56.04 (I)). Article 43.02 (B) – Application Marriage Leave and Parental Leave are non-discretionary leaves and the Employer is required to grant the leave on request and provision of proof: 1.

  • Research on the Effect of Monetary Policy on Financial Accelerator-- Based on the Empirical Analysis of Chinese Steel Enterprises
    E3S Web of Conferences 235, 01064 (2021) https://doi.org/10.1051/e3sconf/202123501064 NETID 2020 Research on the Effect of Monetary Policy on Financial Accelerator-- Based on the empirical analysis of Chinese steel enterprises Chenyi Zhao1*,a, Xuefei Yu2,b 1Wuhan university of technology, Wuhan, China 2Changjiang Futures Co. LTD, Wuhan, China Abstract—From the perspective of principal-agent, the theory of financial acceleration holds that due to the defects of the financial market, external shocks will be amplified by the financial market and accelerate the transmission in the real economy, and the impact on small enterprises is greater than that on large enterprises. According to the theory of financial deceleration, the agency cost caused by financial friction is counter- cyclical, which restrains credit scale to some extent, prevents excessive debt, and thus alleviates external shocks. According to the empirical analysis of panel data of iron and steel enterprises and the existing empirical results of the real estate industry, it is found that there is no financial accelerator effect or financial reducer effect in the field of iron and steel enterprises. China's financial accelerator is more focused on bubbly assets where growth is expected and continues to be overheated despite policy tightening. That would trigger a bigger debt crisis and greater economic volatility. [1]. They call this phenomenon a financial accelerator. 1 Introduction The following is the transmission mechanism of monetary policy (>>> represents financial acceleration): In 2008, under the influence of national monetary policy M↑→ R↓→ P↑→ Na↑→ Loan↑→(I↑→ Y↑)→Debt control and domestic and foreign situations, the real estate Crisis>>>Na↓→( I↓→ Y↓ ) industry once fell into a serious contraction situation.
