  • Monetary Policy and Bank Risk-Taking: Evidence from the Corporate Loan Market
    Monetary Policy and Bank Risk-Taking: Evidence from the Corporate Loan Market Teodora Paligorova∗ Bank of Canada E-mail: [email protected] Jo~aoA. C. Santos∗ Federal Reserve Bank of New York and Nova School of Business and Economics E-mail: [email protected] November 22, 2012 Abstract Our investigation of banks' corporate loan pricing policies in the United States over the past two decades finds that monetary policy is an important driver of banks' risk-taking incentives. We show that banks charge riskier borrowers (relative to safer borrowers) lower premiums in periods of easy monetary policy than in periods of tight monetary policy. This interest rate discount is robust to borrower-, loan-, and bank-specific factors, macroe- conomic factors and various types of unobserved heterogeneity at the bank and firm levels. Using individual bank information about lending standards from the Senior Loan Officers Opinion Survey (SLOOS), we unveil evidence that the interest rate discount for riskier borrowers in periods of easy monetary policy is prevalent among banks with greater risk appetite. This finding confirms that the loan pricing discount we observe is indeed driven by the bank risk-taking channel of monetary policy.

  • The Nature of Money in Modern Economy –Implications and Consequences
    JKAU: Islamic Econ., Vol. 29 No. 2, pp: 57-73 (July 2016) DOI: 10.4197 / Islec. 29-2.4 The Nature of Money in Modern Economy –Implications and Consequences Stephen Zarlenga* and Robert Poteat** *Director, American Monetary Institute (AMI), New York, USA **Senior adviser to the AMI, New York, USA Abstract. This paper discusses the great importance of the monetary question, and briefly examines some of the dominant erroneous concepts of money and their effects upon societies. It also points and links to the great progress currently being made by researchers in this field, so readers can examine them more fully. It presents very brief summaries of what some of the important new papers do. It also aims at helping instructors in outlining a reading curriculum to assist in a long overdue understanding of money power. Finally, the paper presents a money and banking system proposal which has evolved since the Great Depression of the 1930s, and is now ready for implementation and has even been introduced as potential legislation into the United States Congress. 1. Introduction Perhaps no subject as important to mankind as the Finally, the authors will describe a money and nature of money has been so neglected and banking system proposal they are very familiar misunderstood in both the popular and professional with, which has evolved since the Great Depression mind, to the great detriment of the intelligent and of the 1930s, and is now ready for implementation just operation of societies.

Michael Kumhof(1), Jason Allen (2) Will Bateman (3), Rosa Lastra (4), Simon Gleeson (5), Saule Omarova (6) Abstract Based on legal arguments, we advocate a conceptual and normative shift in our understanding of the economic character of central bank money (CBM). The widespread treatment of CBM as a central bank liability goes back to the gold standard, and uses analogies with commercial bank balance sheets. However, CBM is sui generis and legally not comparable to commercial bank money. Furthermore, in modern economies, CBM holders cannot demand repayment of CBM in anything other than CBM. CBM is not an asset of central banks either, and it is not central bank shareholder equity because it does not confer the same ownership rights as regular shareholder equity.

  • Schedule for May 9-11 Conference (PDF)
    WELCOME Welcome to the 39th Eastern Economic Association Annual Meetings in New York, N.Y. Our incoming President-Elect Solomon Polachek, session chairs, organizers, and review committee have done a great job putting together this year’s program, which I hope you will find as intellectually exciting as I do. The program furthers the EEA’s tradition of encouraging intellectual debate, open to all points of view. I'd particularly like to welcome those attending the conference from other regions of the country and other parts of the world. This has been a year marked by challenges in the New York area, with hurricane Sandy closing down the Association’s home office for two weeks and postponing the New York District Fed Challenge program. As many of you know, the EEA has partnered with the Federal Reserve Banks of New York and Philadelphia, and the Federal Reserve Board of Governors to sponsor the Federal Reserve Bank Challenge. This program is a competition by which five person teams from various colleges make 15-minute presentations to academics, practitioners, and Fed economists as to whether the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee should raise, maintain, or lower the targeted Fed Funds Rate. Subsequently the panel of expert judges questions the students on a wide range of issues. By working with the Federal Reserve System, the EEA is fulfilling one of its missions by promoting economic education. I would like to thank the members of the Fed Challenge Advisory Board for their service: Howard Freeman, Ray Stone, CEO Stone & McCarthy Research Associates, Hank Bitten, Former Supervisor of Social Studies and Economics at Indian Hills High School and now happily retired, Blake Gwinn, Federal Reserve Bank of New York Markets Group, Charles Steindel, Chief Economist for the State of New Jersey, student representative Victor Castaneda, and professors Julio Huato (St.

  • The Conduct of Monetary Policy in the Face of Technological Change: Theory and Postwar U.S
    BANCO DE MÉXICO 407 The Conduct of Monetary Policy in the Face of Technological Change: Theory and Postwar U.S. Evidence Jordi Gali* Abstract The present paper analyzes the implications of technological change for the design and conduct of monetary policy, using an optimizing sticky price model as a reference framework. I show how the optimal policy seeks to insulate the price level from the effects of changes in productivity. I provide some evidence that suggests that the Federal Reserve has responded to technological change in a way consistent with that rule in the Volcker-Greenspan era, but not during the pre-Volcker period. The second part of the paper discusses the conceptual difference between the notion of output gap arising in the new sticky price para- digm, and conventional measures of that variable. I also provide some evidence, based on postwar U.S. data, of the quantitative significance of that discrepancy. Finally, I perform a simple exercise to illustrate how a well intentioned monetary policy designed to stabilize inflation and the output gap could lead to unnecessary instability in both vari- ables if a conventional (but incorrect) measure of the output gap was used. ∗Prepared for the conference on Stabilization and Monetary Policy: the International Experience hosted by the Banco de México, November 14-15, 2000. Parts of the paper draw on past and ongoing work in collaboration with Mark Gertler, David Lopez- Salido, and Javier Valles They do not share responsibility for any errors or misinterpretation contained in the present paper. 408 STABILIZATION AND MONETARY POLICY I. Introduction A number of developments taking place in recent years have brought technological change to the forefront of the economic policy debate.
