    SIMULATING an OIL SHOCK with STICKY PRICES by Francesco Giavalli Mehmet ODEKON and Charles WYPLOSZ N° 81/26

    SIMULATING AN OIL SHOCK WITH STICKY PRICES by Francesco GIAVAllI Mehmet ODEKON and Charles WYPLOSZ N° 81/26 Directeur de la Publication : Jean-Claude THOENIG Associate Dean: Research and Development INSEAD Imprimé par l'INSEP), Fontainebleau France SIMULATING AN OIL SHOCK WITH STICKY PRICES Francesco Giavazzi University of Essex and Università di Venezia Mehmet Odekon INSEAD, France Charles Wyplosz INSEAD, France Revised Version: November 1981 Abstract: This paper extends recent work by J. Sachs about the response of a two country plus OPEC neo-classical model to an oil shock with full inter-temporal optimization and perfect foresight. Here, the role of imperfectly flexible prices is studied under the assumption that firms are output constrained. The presence of expected inflation is shown to be pervasive. It affects the real interest rate term structure and therefore the valuation of all components of wealth, as well as the exchange rate and the attending distribution of world expenditures. Inflation also enters the wage adjustment mechanism and therefore the path of unemployment and capital accumulation. Address: Charles Wyplosz, INSEAD, Boulevard de Constance, 77305 Fontainebleau, France I - INTRODUCTION As recently pointed out by Krugman (1980), the proper study of the effects of an oil shock on the exchange rate requires two essentiel fea- tures. First, because the exchange rates which are interesting are those linking the non-OPEC countries, the minimal set up consists of a model including two such countries and OPEC. The exchange rate then reflects how differently the two countries react to the shock. Second, there are two aspects in which the countries reactions may differ: trade and finance.

  • Reforming the International Monetary System Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR)

    Reforming the International Monetary System Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR)

    This report presents a set of concrete proposals of increasing ambition for the reform of the international monetary system. The proposals aim at improving the international provision of liquidity in order to limit the effects of individual and systemic crises and decrease their frequency. The recommendations outlined in this Reforming the report include: • Develop alternatives to US Treasuries as the dominant reserve asset, including the issuance of mutually guaranteed European bonds and (in the more distant future) the development of a ISBN 978-1-907142-41-3 International yuan bond market. • Make permanent the temporary swap agreements that were put in place between central banks during the crisis. Establish a star- shaped structure of swap lines centred on the IMF. Monetary System • Strengthen and expand existing IMF liquidity facilities. On the funding side, expand the IMF’s existing financing mechanisms and allow the IMF to borrow directly on the markets. • Establish a foreign exchange reserve pooling mechanism with the IMF, providing participating countries with access to additional liquidity and, incidentally, allowing reserves to be recycled into productive investments. To limit moral hazard, the report proposes to set up specific surveillance indicators to monitor “international funding risks” associated with increased insurance provision. The report discusses the role of the special drawing rights (SDR) and the prospects for turning this unit of account into a true international currency, arguing that it would not solve the fundamental problems of the international monetary system. The report also reviews the conditions under which emerging market economies may use temporary capital controls to counteract excessive and volatile capital flows.

    "THE CONSEQUENCES OF GERMAN ECONOMYC AND MONETARY UNSON" by Michael C. Burda N° 90/53/EP Assistant Professor of Economics, INSEAD, Boulevard de Constance Fontainebleau 77305 Cedex, France Printed at INSEAD, Fontainebleau, France Preliminary The Consequences of German Economic and Monetary Union Michael C. Burda INSEAD, OFCE (Paris) and the Centre for Economic Policy Research June 1990 Abstract This paper analyzes some of the consequences of the pending economic and monetary union of the two Germanies. Particular emphasis is given to the real implications for the supply side of the German Democratic Republic and for resource flows between the two economic regions. Presented at the Kieler Woche Conference, 19-22 June 1990. This paper is a working paper for a forthcoming special issue of the Revue de lOFCE on Eastern Europe. I am grateful to B. Gorzig and R. Filip-Kohn of the Deutsches Institut filr Wirtschaftsforschung, U.Ludwig of the Akademie der Wissenschaf ten der DDR, and especially 0. Passet of the OFCE for discussions and data. The recent turn of events in Eastern Europe has provided economists with a laboratory experiment never imagined possible: the introduction of a market economy where none had previously existed. All the more extraordinary is the "experiment" posed by the economic monetary and social union (GEMU) between the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG) and the German Democratic Republic (GDR), by which the latter will drop its centrally planned economy and take the plunge into a free market system. In this peculiar setting, differences in tastes, language, and institutions will be largely marginalized, leaving only the market to answer the question: Can Ludwig Erhards postwar Wirtschaftswunder be repeated in a country that has not known capitalism for almost a half-century? This paper analyzes the German Economic and Monetary Union ( GEMU) and its implications for both Germanies from several perspectives.
  • Rescuing Our Jobs and Savings: What G7/8 Leaders Can Do to Solve the Global Credit Crisis

    Rescuing Our Jobs and Savings: What G7/8 Leaders Can Do to Solve the Global Credit Crisis

    Rescuing our jobs and The unfolding financial market meltdown could trigger a massive and prolonged recession that would destroy hundreds of millions of jobs worldwide and wipe out the savings our countless households; as usual, the most savings: What G7/8 vulnerable would be hit hardest. If economic policymakers continue with their business-as- usual behaviour, they risk becoming the authors of the next leaders can do to solve Great Depression. The time for forceful coordinated action has arrived. Leaders should agree to a plan back it forcefully. Any global plan must have options as the crisis in Iceland is not the same crisis as in the US or Germany, but coordination is essential to restore confidence. Coordination the global credit crisis and dialog is also important to avoid the downward spiral of international cooperation that followed the last great crisis in the 1930s. Edited by Barry Eichengreen This E-book collects essays from some of the world’s leading and Richard Baldwin economists on what governments can do to rescue our jobs and savings. While they differ on many points, a clear consensus emerges on need to act, the need to act cooperatively and on the basic options for action. The authors are: Alberto Alesina, Michael Burda, Charles Calomiris, Roger Craine, Stijn Claessens, J Bradford DeLong, Douglas Diamond, Barry Eichengreen, Daniel Gros, Luigi Guiso, Anil K Kashyap, Marco Pagano, Avinash Persaud, Richard Portes, Raghuram G Rajan, Guido Tabellini, Angel Ubide, Charles Wyplosz and Klaus Zimmermann.

    US Monetary Policy and the Global Financial Cycle

    US Monetary Policy and the Global Financial Cycle Silvia Miranda-Agrippino∗ H´el`eneReyy Bank of England London Business School CEPR and CfM(LSE) CEPR and NBER Revised March 28, 2020 Abstract US monetary policy shocks induce comovements in the international financial variables that characterize the `Global Financial Cycle.' A single global factor that explains an important share of the variation of risky asset prices around the world decreases significantly after a US monetary tightening. Monetary contractions in the US lead to significant deleveraging of global financial intermediaries, a decline in the provision of domestic credit globally, strong retrenchments of international credit flows, and tightening of foreign financial conditions. Countries with floating exchange rate regimes are subject to similar financial spillovers.
