  • Revisiting the 1930S
    11941-09_Reinhart_rev.qxd 1/26/10 11:37 AM Page 251 CARMEN M. REINHART University of Maryland VINCENT R. REINHART American Enterprise Institute When the North Last Headed South: Revisiting the 1930s ABSTRACT The U.S. recession of 2007–09 is unique in the post–World War II experience in the broad company it kept. Activity contracted around the world, with the advanced economies of the North experiencing declines in spending more typical of the developing economies of the South for the first time since the 1930s. This paper examines the role of policy in fostering recovery in that earlier decade. With nominal short-term interest rates already near zero, monetary policy in most countries took the unconventional step of delinking currencies from the gold standard. However, analysis of a sample that includes developing countries shows that this was not as universally effective as often claimed, perhaps because the exit from gold was uncoordinated in time, scale, and scope and, in many countries, failed to bring about a substantial depreciation against the dollar. Fiscal policy was also active—most countries sharply increased government spending—but was prone to reversals that may have undermined confidence. Countries that more consistently kept spending high tended to recover more quickly. he financial and economic dislocations of the past two years have been Tsharp and widespread. Yet there is ample precedent for such crises— and for the economic adjustment that follows to be wrenching. Among the advanced economies, those earlier crises occurred either before World War II or in open economies that were out of sync with the global cycle.1 Crashes and severe contractions have been more common in emerging market economies.

  • Gold Sterilization and the Recession of 1937-38
    Gold Sterilization and the Recession of 1937-38 Douglas A. Irwin Dartmouth College and NBER This Draft: September 9, 2011 Abstract: The Recession of 1937-38 is often cited as illustrating the dangers of withdrawing fiscal and monetary stimulus too early in a weak recovery. Yet existing studies of the recession find that changes in fiscal policy were small in comparison to the magnitude of the downturn, and that higher reserve requirements were not binding on banks. This paper focuses on a neglected change in monetary policy, the sterilization of gold inflows during 1937, and finds that it exerted a powerful contractionary force during this period. Introduction The Recession of 1937-38 was America’s third most severe economic downturn in the twentieth century, after 1929-33 and 1920-21. Real GDP contracted 11 percent and industrial production plunged 30 percent between the second quarter of 1937 and the first quarter of 1938. The civilian unemployment rate, still high in the aftermath of the Great Depression, rose from 9.2 percent to 12.5 percent. Because this sharp downturn occurred when recovery from the Depression was far from complete, it became known as the “recession within a depression.” It set back the recovery from the Depression by two years. The recession is often blamed on the tightening of fiscal and monetary policies. In terms of fiscal policy, the Roosevelt administration became concerned about large budget deficits and began reducing the growth in government spending and increasing taxes.1 In terms of monetary policy, the Federal Reserve and Treasury became concerned about the inflationary potential of 1 Much of the reduction in spending was simply the ending of the veteran’s bonus.
