    BUSINESS AND THE MAKING OF AMERICAN ECONOMETRICS, 1910 – 1940 Thomas A. Stapleford University of Notre Dame (forthcoming in History of Political Economy, June 2017) ABSTRACT From 1910 – 1940, the practice of business and the practice of economics came to inform one another in novel ways, a reconfiguration that included the emergence of econometrics. The core locus for this intersection came from the rise of commercial forecasting—whether analyses of future demand, price and cost fluctuations, or financial markets—based on the analysis of statistical data. Forecasting united a suite of specific interactions with the practice of economics: business support for the construction of specific economic data (making possible new forms of econometric analysis); the creation of a new social role: the economist/business expert with advanced academic training (who engaged in both practices and used each to serve the other); and the consequent development of new knowledge (especially in demand analysis and financial economics). INTRODUCTION Assessing the contributions of businesspersons to econometrics raises two basic questions: who counts as a businessperson, and what do we mean by econometrics? When considering businesspersons in early twentieth-century America, we might imagine bespectacled corporate managers, powerful industrial magnates, conservative New York bankers, or perhaps slick Wall Street brokers. Econometrics, on the other hand, seems the most abstruse part of economics— especially if we picture the later work of the Cowles Commission—conjuring images of dense mathematical equations or complex arguments about proper statistical analysis. If our question is “What direct contribution did bankers and corporate managers make to the major models or theories that populated Econometrica at mid-century?”, then the answer would seem to be “Not much.” Yet that question may be misleading.

  • Nber Working Paper Series Do Equilibrium Real Business
    NBER WORKING PAPER SERIES DO EQUILIBRIUM REAL BUSINESS CYCLE THEORIES EXPLAIN POST-WAR U.S. BUSINESS CYCLES? Martin Eichenbaum Kenneth J. Singleton Working Paper No. 1932 NATIONAL BUREAU OF ECONOMIC RESEARCH 1050 Massachusetts Avenue Cambridge, MA 02138 May 1986 We have benefited from helpful discussions with Lars Hansen, Bennett McCallum, Allan Meltzer, Dan Peled, Michael Woodford, and our discussants Robert Barro and Greg Mankiw. Research assistance was provided by Kun-hong Kim and David Marshall. The research reported here is part of the NBER's research program in Economic Fluctuations. Any opinions expressed are those of the authors and not those of the National Bureau of Economic Research. Working Paper #1932 May 1986 Do Equilibrium Real Business Cycle Theories Explain Post-War U.S. Business Cycles? ABSTRACT This paper presents and interprets some rw evidenceon the validity of the Real Business Cycle approach to businesscycle analysis. The analysis is conducted in the context of a nnetary businesscycle model which makes explicit one potential link between monetary policy and realallocations. This model is used to interpret Granger causal relationsbetween nominal and real aggregates. Perhaps the nost strikingempirical finding is that money growth does not Granger cause output growth in the context of several multivariate VARs and for various sample periodsduring the post war period in the U.S. Several possible reconciliations of thisfinding with both real and monetary business cycles models are discussed. We find that it is difficult to reconcile our npirical results with the view thatexogenous monetary shocks were an important independent source of variationin output growth.

  • Currency Crisis Models
    1 CURRENCY CRISIS MODELS Craig Burnside, Martin Eichenbaum, and Sergio Rebelo The New Palgrave: A Dictionary of Economics, 2nd Edition February 2007 There have been many currency crises during the post-war era (see Kaminsky and Reinhart, 1999). A currency crisis is an episode in which the exchange rate depreciates substantially during a short period of time. There is an extensive literature on the causes and consequences of a currency crisis in a country with a fixed or heavily managed exchange rate. The models in this literature are often categorized as first-, second- or third-generation. In first-generation models the collapse of a fixed exchange rate regime is caused by unsustainable fiscal policy. The classic first-generation models are those of Krugman (1979) and Flood and Garber (1984). These models are related to earlier work by Henderson and Salant (1978) on speculative attacks in the gold market. Important extensions of these early models incorporate consumer optimization and the government’s intertemporal budget constraint into the analysis (see Obstfeld, 1986; Calvo, 1987; Drazen and Helpman, 1987; Wijnbergen, 1991). Flood and Marion (1999) provide a detailed review of first-generation models. In a fixed exchange rate regime a government must fix the money supply in accordance with the fixed exchange rate. This requirement severely limits the government’s ability to raise seigniorage revenue. A hallmark of first-generation models is that the government runs a persistent primary deficit. This deficit implies that the government must either deplete assets, such as foreign reserves, or borrow to finance the deficit. It is infeasible for the government to borrow or deplete reserves indefinitely.

Explaining the Boom-Bust Cycle in the U.S. Housing Market: A Reverse-Engineering Approach Paolo Gelainy Kevin J. Lansingz Gisle J. Natvikx February 23, 2018 Abstract We use a quantitative asset pricing model to “reverse-engineer”the sequences of shocks to housing demand and lending standards needed to replicate the boom-bust patterns in U.S. housing value and mortgage debt from 1993 to 2015. Conditional on the observed paths for U.S. real consumption growth, the real mortgage interest rate, and the supply of residential fixed assets, a specification with random walk expectations outperforms one with rational expectations in plausibly matching the patterns in the data. Counterfactual simulations show that shocks to housing demand, housing supply, and lending standards were important, but movements in the mortgage interest rate were not.

Belo Horizonte – Brazil, November, 2014 _____________________________________________________________________________________ Understanding Robert Lucas (1967-1981) Alexandre F. S. Andrada [email protected] Universidade de Brasília (UnB) _____________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract This paper analyzes Robert Lucas’ contribution to economic theory between 1967 (year of his first solo publication) and 1981 (the year before the emergence of Real Business Cycle approach). The paper has two parts. In the first one, we do a citation analysis, using data from four different sources: Google Scholar, Web of Science, IDEAS RePEc and Jstor. With this data, we answer two questions: what is Lucas most influential papers nowadays? And how this influence changed over the time? We show, for instance, that according to three of those four sources, Lucas’ most influential paper today is not from his business cycle research agenda, which gave him his Nobel Prize. Moreover, it is clear the loss of influence of Lucas’ macroeconomic theory since early 1980s. In the second part, we construct a ranking with the papers Lucas most often used as reference in his paper, and we separate those reference in ‘positive’ and ‘negative’.

Morris also noted that TE editor Ran Spiegler and incoming Econometrica editor, Guido Imbens, would join the meeting at 1:00 pm via Zoom for the editorial portion. General Society Business Matters arising The issue of whether or not to draft an organizational “Code of Conduct” for the Society was raised. Morris suggested drafting boilerplate language addressing officers only. Repullo suggested looking at the American Economic Association (AEA) and other scientific organizations’ policies and language. Sentana also mentioned that Article V, section 6 of the Econometric Society By-Laws states that “Any Officer of the Society may be removed from office at any time by a two-thirds majority of the Council members then in office”. However, no such procedure is contemplated in the Rules and Procedures. ACTION ITEM: Morris and Sentana would prepare boilerplate language for a “Code of Conduct” applying to officers only and share it with the EC before its next scheduled meeting.
