  • Redistributive Monetary Policy

    Redistributive Monetary Policy

    Redistributive Monetary Policy Markus K. Brunnermeier and Yuliy Sannikov I. Introduction Short-term debt financing played an important role in the run-up to the financial crisis, as increases in leverage helped boost growth, but also made the economy more susceptible to a sharp downturn. Since the recession, private agents have reduced their debt level while many governments have increased borrowing. This deleveraging process appears to be holding back the recovery, and the Japanese experience suggests that such deleveraging can continue over an extended period. Economic activity depends on wealth distribution and the risk-bear- ing capacity of various sectors and actors in the economy. In a world with excessive debt financing, the amplification of adverse shocks can trigger large wealth redistributions across and within sectors, stifling growth. While in Japan, the nonfinancial business sector suffered most from liquidity and deflation spirals, currently in the United States, the household sector largely bears the costs of these spirals. This paper argues that monetary policy can mitigate the redis- tributive effects of the adverse amplification mechanisms and help rebalance wealth across various sectors and households. The wealth- redistributive monetary transmission channel works through changes in asset prices and income flows. Importantly, it is the heterogeneity 331 332 Markus K. Brunnermeier and Yuliy Sannikov in economic agents’ asset holdings that allows monetary policy to redistribute wealth. Appropriate monetary policy can mitigate debt overhang distortions. This stabilizes the economy, reduces endog- enous risk, and can spur growth, raising the overall wealth level in the economy. For specific scenarios, monetary policy can even lead to ex-post Pareto improvements, making all agents in the economy better off.

The citation for the award reads: The Clay Mathematics Institute hereby awards the Millennium Prize for resolution of the Poincaré conjecture to Grigoriy Perelman. The Poincaré conjecture is one of the seven Millennium Prize Problems established by CMI in 2000. The Prizes were conceived to record some of the most difficult problems with which mathematicians were grappling at the turn of the second millennium; to elevate in the consciousness of the general public the fact that in mathematics, the frontier is still open and abounds in important unsolved problems; to emphasize the importance of working towards a solution of the deepest, most difficult problems; and to recognize achievement in mathematics of historical magnitude. The award of the Millennium Prize to Dr. Perelman was made in accord with their governing rules: recommendation first by a Special Advisory Committee (Simon Donaldson, David Gabai, Mikhail Gromov, Terence Tao, and Andrew Wiles), then by the CMI Scientific Advisory Board (James Carlson, Simon Donaldson, Gregory Margulis, Richard Melrose, Yum-Tong Siu, and Andrew Wiles), with final decision by the Board of Directors (Landon T.
  • The Declining Worker Power Hypothesis

    The Declining Worker Power Hypothesis

    The Declining Worker Power Hypothesis: An explanation for the recent evolution of the American economy Anna Stansbury and Lawrence H. Summers Harvard University May 2020 Abstract: Rising profitability and market valuations of US businesses, sluggish wage growth and a declining labor share of income, and reduced unemployment and inflation, have defined the macroeconomic environment of the last generation. This paper offers a unified explanation for these phenomena based on reduced worker power. Using individual, industry, and state-level data, we demonstrate that measures of reduced worker power are associated with lower wage levels, higher profit shares, and reductions in measures of the NAIRU. We argue that the declining worker power hypothesis is more compelling as an explanation for observed changes than increases in firms’ market power, both because it can simultaneously explain a falling labor share and a reduced NAIRU, and because it is more directly supported by the data.

Since the early 1980s in the U.S., the share of income going to labor has fallen, measures of corporate valuations like Tobin's Q have risen, average profitability has risen even as interest rates have declined, and measured markups have risen.

A growth model is developed in which competition may increase the incremental profit from innovating; on the other hand, competition may also reduce innovation incentives for laggards. There are four key predictions. First, the relationship between product market competition (PMC) and innovation is an inverted U-shape. Second, the equilibrium degree of technological ‘neck-and- neckness’ among firms should decrease with PMC.

    Stability of Tangent Bundles of Complete Intersections and Effective

    STABILITY OF TANGENT BUNDLES OF COMPLETE INTERSECTIONS AND EFFECTIVE RESTRICTION JIE LIU ABSTRACT. For n ≥ 3, let M be an (n + r)-dimensional irreducible Hermitian symmetric space of compact type and let OM(1) be the ample generator of Pic(M). Let Y = H1 ∩···∩ Hr be a smooth complete intersection of dimension n where Hi ∈ |OM(di)| with di ≥ 2. We prove a vanishing theorem for twisted holomor- phic forms on Y. As an application, we show that the tangent bundle TY of Y is stable. Moreover, if X is a smooth hypersurface of degree d in Y such that the restriction Pic(Y) → Pic(X) is surjective, we establish some effective results for d to guarantee the stability of the restriction TY|X. In particular, if Y is a general n+1 hypersurface in P and X is general smooth divisor in Y, we show that TY|X is stable except for some well-known examples. We also address the cases where the Picard group increases by restriction. CONTENTS 1. Introduction 1 2. Hermitian symmetric spaces and Lefschetz properties 5 3.
