Abstract Eager to understand and to overcome the 2007 crisis, economists worldwide are struggling to provide better understanding of past panics. Researches revealed that the recent crisis and the Great Depression, the most severe ever witnessed by the United States, share some similarities. Most of the financial calamities started in the United States and spread internationally since they occurred in a world of interconnected trade. In narrative histories of US financial panics, little is found about similarities and differences of the panics. “All is forgotten until another storm comes”. Contemporary commentators and economic scholars do not seem to have the same identification of the events leading up to banking panics. The result lies in the number of panics they give when referring to US economic history. The most recent definition of banking panic is provided by Calomiris and Gorton. A banking panic may occur when depositors ask for immediate redemption for cash. My paper studies most panics, be them major or minor, from 1819 to 2007; with attributing more importance to the Great Depression of 1929 and the Great Recession of 2007 being focal points in the economic history of the country. My work is a combination of historiography, clinical survey, and analysis. It comprehends history of the panics, analysis the causes behind failures of companies and banks using a cause and effect pattern, and the statement of similarities and differences. Key words: Bank failure, Bank panic, Economic crisis, Great Depression, Great Recession, New Deal, President F.D.

Les recherches ont révélé que la récente crise et la Grande Dépression, l’évènement le plus grave vécu aux États-Unis, présentent certaines similitudes. La plupart des calamités financières ont commencé aux États-Unis et se sont propagées au niveau international, dans la mesure où elles se sont produites dans un monde caractérisé par un commerce interconnecté. Dans les écrits historiques de paniques financiers aux États-Unis, on trouve peu de choses sur les similitudes et les différences entre les paniques. "Tout est oublié jusqu'à ce qu'une autre tempête arrive". Il n’est pas clair que les analystes et les chercheurs en économie contemporains aient la même définition des événements qui ont provoqué la panique bancaire. Le résultat réside dans le nombre de paniques qu’ils donnent en se référant à l’histoire économique des États-Unis. La définition la plus récente de la panique bancaire est fournie par Calomiris et Gorton. Une panique bancaire peut survenir lorsque les déposants demandent un remboursement immédiat en espèces. Alors, cette thèse étudie les paniques, qu'elles soient majeures ou mineures, de 1819 à 2007; en attribuant plus d’importance à la Grande Dépression de 1929 et à la Grande Récession de 2007, qui sont des points importants de l’histoire économique du pays. Ce travail est une combinaison d'historiographie, de sondage clinique et d'analyse. Il comprend l'historique des paniques, en analysant les causes des faillites des entreprises et des banques à l'aide d'un schéma de cause à effet, ainsi que la déclaration des similitudes et des différences.

  • Why We Worry Top-Down and Invest Bottom-Up
    “Remember that there is nothing stable in human affairs; therefore avoid undue elation in prosperity or undue depression in adversity.” —Socrates, 399 B.C. “In the economy, an act, a habit, an institution, a law, gives birth not only to an effect, but to a series of effects. Of these effects, the first only is immediate; it manifests itself simultaneously with its cause— it is seen. The others unfold in succession— they are not seen: it is well for us if they are foreseen.” —Frederic Bastiat, That Which Is Seen, That Which Is Unseen , 1850 “Res nolunt diu male administrari . Things refuse to be mismanaged long. Though no checks to a new evil appear, the checks exist, and will appear.” —Ralph Waldo Emerson, 1844 “Men, it has been well said, think in herds; it will be seen that they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, and one by one.”—Charles Mackay, Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds , 1912 2014 ANNUAL REPORT _______________________________________________________ For further information, contact Chris Ridenour at (574) 293-2077 or via email at [email protected] 1 Why We Worry Top-Down and Invest Bottom-Up “A rising tide lifts all ships” is bandied about in our profession like a shuttlecock at a garden party badminton game. It seems that whenever an analogy is that simple and quaint, there must be a catch. And there is: the waves. In their endless repetition they mask the invisible but prodigious ebb and flood tides. The daily headlines are almost always about the waves, particularly, even if unnoticed, when the tide is rising.

  • Chapter 18: Roosevelt and the New Deal, 1933-1939
    Roosevelt and the New Deal 1933–1939 Why It Matters Unlike Herbert Hoover, Franklin Delano Roosevelt was willing to employ deficit spending and greater federal regulation to revive the depressed economy. In response to his requests, Congress passed a host of new programs. Millions of people received relief to alleviate their suffering, but the New Deal did not really end the Depression. It did, however, permanently expand the federal government’s role in providing basic security for citizens. The Impact Today Certain New Deal legislation still carries great importance in American social policy. • The Social Security Act still provides retirement benefits, aid to needy groups, and unemployment and disability insurance. • The National Labor Relations Act still protects the right of workers to unionize. • Safeguards were instituted to help prevent another devastating stock market crash. • The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation still protects bank deposits.

Stopping Contagion with Bailouts: Microevidence from Pennsylvania Bank Networks During the Panic of 1884 John Bluedorn1 International Monetary Fund Haelim Park2 Office of Financial Research March 30, 2016 Forthcoming in the Journal of Banking and Finance Abstract Using a newly constructed historical dataset on the Pennsylvania state banking system, detailing the amounts of “due-froms” on a debtor-bank-by-debtor-bank basis, we investigate the effects of the Panic of 1884 and subsequent private sector-orchestrated bailout of systemically important banks (SIBs) on the broader banking sector. We find evidence that Pennsylvania banks with larger direct interbank exposures to New York City changed the composition of their asset holdings, shifting from loans to more liquid assets and reducing their New York City correspondent deposits in the near-term.

  • The Rising Thunder El Nino and Stock Markets
    THE RISING THUNDER EL NINO AND STOCK MARKETS: By Tristan Caswell A Project Presented to The Faculty of Humboldt State University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Business Administration Committee Membership Dr. Michelle Lane, Ph.D, Committee Chair Dr. Carol Telesky, Ph.D Committee Member Dr. David Sleeth-Kepler, Ph.D Graduate Coordinator July 2015 Abstract THE RISING THUNDER EL NINO AND STOCK MARKETS: Tristan Caswell Every year, new theories are generated that seek to describe changes in the pricing of equities on the stock market and changes in economic conditions worldwide. There are currently theories that address the market value of stocks in relation to the underlying performance of their financial assets, known as bottom up investing, or value investing. There are also theories that intend to link the performance of stocks to economic factors such as changes in Gross Domestic Product, changes in imports and exports, and changes in Consumer price index as well as other factors, known as top down investing. Much of the current thinking explains much of the current movements in financial markets and economies worldwide but no theory exists that explains all of the movements in financial markets. This paper intends to propose the postulation that some of the unexplained movements in financial markets may be perpetuated by a consistently occurring weather phenomenon, known as El Nino. This paper intends to provide a literature review, documenting currently known trends of the occurrence of El Nino coinciding with the occurrence of a disturbance in the worldwide financial markets and economies, as well as to conduct a statistical analysis to explore whether there are any statistical relationships between the occurrence of El Nino and the occurrence of a disturbance in the worldwide financial markets and economies.

  • Friday, June 21, 2013 the Failures That Ignited America's Financial
    Friday, June 21, 2013 The Failures that Ignited America’s Financial Panics: A Clinical Survey Hugh Rockoff Department of Economics Rutgers University, 75 Hamilton Street New Brunswick NJ 08901 [email protected] Preliminary. Please do not cite without permission. 1 Abstract This paper surveys the key failures that ignited the major peacetime financial panics in the United States, beginning with the Panic of 1819 and ending with the Panic of 2008. In a few cases panics were triggered by the failure of a single firm, but typically panics resulted from a cluster of failures. In every case “shadow banks” were the source of the panic or a prominent member of the cluster. The firms that failed had excellent reputations prior to their failure. But they had made long-term investments concentrated in one sector of the economy, and financed those investments with short-term liabilities. Real estate, canals and railroads (real estate at one remove), mining, and cotton were the major problems. The panic of 2008, at least in these ways, was a repetition of earlier panics in the United States. 2 “Such accidental events are of the most various nature: a bad harvest, an apprehension of foreign invasion, the sudden failure of a great firm which everybody trusted, and many other similar events, have all caused a sudden demand for cash” (Walter Bagehot 1924 [1873], 118). 1. The Role of Famous Failures1 The failure of a famous financial firm features prominently in the narrative histories of most U.S. financial panics.2 In this respect the most recent panic is typical: Lehman brothers failed on September 15, 2008: and … all hell broke loose.
