Press Release press release 10 February 2016 Why investors should raise a cheer to the Bank of England’s 70th anniversary of nationalisation As the Bank of England marks 70 years in public ownership on 14 February 2016, Richard Stone, Chief Executive of The Share Centre assesses its role in managing the UK’s monetary policy. While the Bank of England – the old lady of Threadneedle Street – is over 300 years old, it has only spent the last 70 as a publicly-owned institution. It was privately owned by its stockholders until it was nationalised in 1946 by the post-war Labour government under Clement Atlee. Since then it has presided over wildly varying fortunes in the UK economy, from record inflation levels in the 1970s to today’s era of historically low interest rates. Base rates fell to 0.5% in March 2009 and have now therefore been at that constant level for nearly seven years. Richard Stone, Chief Executive of The Share Centre, says this period of stable economic conditions is good for personal investors and for the UK economy as a whole – and that much of it has to do with the independence granted to the Bank in 1998. Richard Stone, Chief Executive of The Share Centre commented: “The Bank of England has a long and proud history stretching back over 300 years. The last 70 of those have been in national ownership – and more recently as an independent public body. “Throughout, the Bank has had to have an eye on the money supply, inflation and interest rates. Free from political interference that mandate has been strengthened since independence in 1998 and the inflation track record shows the success the Bank has had since then. Indeed, we are currently in a period of historically flat and low interest rates and low inflation.” The confidence that economic stability has given to investors is reflected in a recent survey The Share Centre has carried out of its customers. While over a third believe we will not see another rate rise until the second quarter of 2017, a massive 86% say they are not concerned by the prospect of rates going up. Richard Stone added: “The Share Centre recently conducted a survey to which over 2,000 of our personal investor customers responded. More than 1 in 3 (36%) believe the next interest rate rise will not happen until at least the second quarter of 2017, with a massive 86% unconcerned about a rise in UK rates given the Federal Reserve’s recent increase to the US base rate. “Personal investors should welcome stable economic conditions, low inflation and low interest rates and should therefore raise a cheer to the Bank of England’s 70 year anniversary in national ownership and wish it a continued long and successful future managing the UK’s monetary policy.” THE BANK SINCE NATIONALISATION – A POTTED HISTORY At the time of nationalization the economic policy of the day was focused on a Keynesian approach. Since then the bank has seen government policy move to a more monetarist approach. Throughout, the bank has stood ready to intervene and support the UK economy administering the issuing of money and implementation, and more recently setting, of interest rates. The Bank of England’s main task is to manage the money supply and the cost of money (the base rate) within the UK. Base rates fell to 0.5% in March 2009 and have now therefore been at that constant level for nearly seven years. This is historic in the context of the Bank’s 400 plus years of existence as well as in the context of the last 70 years since nationalization. The last time rates remained unchanged for such a long period was during the Second World War Rates were cut to 2% in 1939 and did not increase again until 1951 when they moved to 2.5%. That 12 year period of constant rates was a record in the Bank’s history as is the currently rate of 0.5% which had never been seen before 2009. The main purpose of changing interest rates is to help control prices – inflation. In the Bank’s history since nationalization in 1946 the record on inflation has been somewhat mixed. Based on the retail price index (RPI), the average rate since 1946 has been 5.5% per annum. Since independence was granted to the Bank in 1998 the target has been 2% - significantly below that post-war average. Since 1998 the average RPI has been 2.8%, perhaps indicating the Bank of England’s independence has been successful in delivering lower inflation and lower interest rates. RPI inflation peaked at 24% in 1975 and fell as low as minus 0.5% in 2009 following the financial crisis. Investors in the stockmarket should generally welcome low interest rates and stable benign economic conditions – i.e. low inflation. Such conditions should allow companies to prosper and grow and make the returns on equity investment appear attractive as compared to cash. The stockmarket has performed strongly since the Bank was nationalized. The FT30 Index of the top 30 companies listed on the London market was launched at a base value of 100 in 1935. Having fallen during the Second World War it recovered and stood a little above that base level in 1946. By 1998 when the Bank was granted independence the index stood at over 3,000 and today is still above 2,600 – i.e. 26 times its level in 1935. ---Ends--- Note to editors: For further information please contact: The Share Centre Joe Dumont Sophie Hobart Nikki Beale Head of Corporate Communications PR & Internal Communications Executive Shares4Schools & PR Coordinator 01296 439 426 01296 439 129 01296 439 435 [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Teamspirit PR Adam Smith Kate Cunningham Associate Director Senior Account Manager 020 7360 7816 020 7864 4138 [email protected] [email protected] Jenny Barrett Dom Bellamy Account Manager Account Executive 020 7360 7830 020 7864 4125 [email protected] [email protected] To view all our press releases and more from our investment advisers please go to blog.share.com 2015 Best Customer Service – Shares Magazine Best Online Stockbroker – Personal Finance Awards Highest Overall Client Satisfaction award - Investment Trends Best Customer Service – Investment Trends Best Customer Service – Online Personal Wealth Awards Best Stockbroker – Online Personal Wealth Awards Self Select ISA Provider of the Year - ADVFN International Financial Awards Best Online Stockbroker - ADVFN International Financial Awards 2014 Best Stockbroker for Customer Service – Financial Times and Investors Chronicle Best Online Stockbroker – Personal Finance Awards Best ISA Provider – Shares Magazine Highest Overall Client Satisfaction award - Investment Trends Best Customer Service – Investment Trends Best Stockbroker – MoneyAM Best Customer Service - MoneyAM 2013 Online Stockbroker of the Year - Financial Times and Investors Chronicle Execution-only Stockbroker of the Year – Financial Times and Investors Chronicle Best Online Stockbroker – Personal Finance Awards 2012 Stockbroker of the Year – Financial Times and Investors Chronicle Execution-only Stockbroker of the Year – Financial Times and Investors Chronicle Best Online Stockbroker – Personal Finance Awards Highest Overall Client Satisfaction award - Investment Trends Best Value for Money - Investment Trends Best Trading Platform - Investment Trends 2011 Best Online Stockbroker - Financial Times and Investors Chronicle Best Online ISA Provider - MoneyAM Best Small Cap Broker - Shares Magazine Highest Overall Client Satisfaction award - Investment Trends 2010 Best Small Cap Broker - Shares Magazine Best Online Funds Service - MoneyAM Risk Warnings: Investing in general, and the products and services mentioned above may not be suitable for all: if in doubt, individuals should seek independent financial advice.

  • RICHARD STONE 13 Millington Road, Cambridge, U.K
    THE ACCOUNTS OF SOCIETY Nobel Memorial Lecture, 8 December, 1984 RICHARD STONE 13 Millington Road, Cambridge, U.K. CONTENTS 1. The role of accounting systems 2. Precursors 3. Concepts and definitions 4. The national economic accounts 5. Statistical problems 6. Regional accounts 7. Demographic accounts 8. Concluding remarks 9. A list of works cited THE ACCOUNTS OF SOCIETY 1. The Role of Accounting Systems This morning I shall discuss how accounting can be useful in describing and understanding society. The three pillars on which an analysis of society ought to rest are studies of economic, socio-demographic and environmental phenom- ena. Naturally enough, accounting ideas are most developed in the economic context, and it is to this that I shall devote much of my time, but they are equally applicable in the other two fields. By organising our data in the form of accounts we can obtain a coherent picture of the stocks and flows, incomings and outgoings of whatever variables we are interested in, whether these be goods and services, human beings or natural resources, and thence proceed to analyse the system of which they form part. The function of the national accounts in this process can perhaps be better understood if I illustrate it with a diagram. In the first box of diagram 1 we have our facts, organised as far as possible into a coherent set of accounts. Given this quantitative framework, we can formulate some hypotheses, or theories, about the technical and behavioural relationships that connect them. By combining facts and theories we can construct a model which when translated into quantitative terms will give us an idea of how the system under investigation actually works.

  • The Transformation of Macroeconomic Policy and Research
    K4_40319_Prescott_358-395 05-08-18 11.41 Sida 370 THE TRANSFORMATION OF MACROECONOMIC POLICY AND RESEARCH Prize Lecture, December 8, 2004 by Edward C. Prescott* Arizona State University, Tempe, and Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA. 1. INTRODUCTION What I am going to describe for you is a revolution in macroeconomics, a transformation in methodology that has reshaped how we conduct our science. Prior to the transformation, macroeconomics was largely separate from the rest of economics. Indeed, some considered the study of macroeconomics fundamentally different and thought there was no hope of integrating macroeconomics with the rest of economics, that is, with neoclassical economics. Others held the view that neoclassical foundations for the empirically deter- mined macro relations would in time be developed. Neither view proved correct. Finn Kydland and I have been lucky to be a part of this revolution, and my address will focus heavily on our role in advancing this transformation. Now, all stories about transformation have three essential parts: the time prior to the key change, the transformative era, and the new period that has been impacted by the change. And that is the story I am going to tell: how macro- economic policy and research changed as the result of the transformation of macroeconomics from constructing a system of equations of the national accounts to an investigation of dynamic stochastic economies. Macroeconomics has progressed beyond the stage of searching for a theory to the stage of deriving the implications of theory. In this way, macroeconomics has become like the natural sciences. Unlike the natural sciences, though, macroeconomics involves people making decisions based upon what they think will happen, and what will happen depends upon what decisions they make.

  • MODEL BUILDING and the SOCIAL ACCOUNTS: a SURVEY by Richard Stone Director of the University of Cambridge Department of Appliedeconomics
    2 MODEL BUILDING AND THE SOCIAL ACCOUNTS: A SURVEY by Richard Stone Director of the University of Cambridge Department of AppliedEconomics I. INTRODUCTION IN my papers [I, 21 to the two earlier conferences of this Association I was concerned, in the main, with some of the conceptual problems involved in setting up the social accounts; with problems of defining and classifying transactions and of arranging them in a convenient form. On this occasion I propose to examine some of the problems that arise in using the social accounts. Many of these uses involve an extension of social accounting, in the sense of measuring variables, into the field of model building which, from an applied point of view, requires both the formulation of relationships between the variables, and any others that may be relevant, and the estima- tion of the parameters in these relationships. The construction of models of the economic process as a whole is, without doubt, one of the most ambitious tasks on which an economist can be engaged and the problems involved have been studied from many different points of view. Much work on model building has been undertaken as a theoretical exercise, that is as an attempt to see what kind of relationships are needed to produce variations of the kind which more or less casual empiricism suggests take place in the actual world. Many of the papers in this field are concerned with the behaviour of systems of linear equations and these indeed may be of con- siderable utility for certain purposes. It is frequently supposed, however, that a system of equations which is to represent the economic process should be capable of generating stable oscillations but, as has frequently been recognised [3,4, 5, 61, this is only possible in the case of linear systems if, given the initial conditions, the coefficients take very special values.

  • 1 the Nobel Prize in Economics Turns 50 Allen R. Sanderson1 and John
    The Nobel Prize in Economics Turns 50 Allen R. Sanderson1 and John J. Siegfried2 Abstract The first Sveriges Riksbank Prizes in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel, were awarded in 1969, 50 years ago. In this essay we provide the historical origins of this sixth “Nobel” field, background information on the recipients, their nationalities, educational backgrounds, institutional affiliations, and collaborations with their esteemed colleagues. We describe the contributions of a sample of laureates to economics and the social and political world around them. We also address – and speculate – on both some of their could-have-been contemporaries who were not chosen, as well as directions the field of economics and its practitioners are possibly headed in the years ahead, and thus where future laureates may be found. JEL Codes: A1, B3 1 University of Chicago, Chicago, IL, USA 2Vanderbilt University, Nashville, TN, USA Corresponding Author: Allen Sanderson, Department of Economics, University of Chicago, 1126 East 59th Street, Chicago, IL 60637, USA Email: [email protected] 1 Introduction: The 1895 will of Swedish scientist Alfred Nobel specified that his estate be used to create annual awards in five categories – physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, literature, and peace – to recognize individuals whose contributions have conferred “the greatest benefit on mankind.” Nobel Prizes in these five fields were first awarded in 1901.1 In 1968, Sweden’s central bank, to celebrate its 300th anniversary and also to champion its independence from the Swedish government and tout the scientific nature of its work, made a donation to the Nobel Foundation to establish a sixth Prize, the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel.2 The first “economics Nobel” Prizes, selected by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences were awarded in 1969 (to Ragnar Frisch and Jan Tinbergen, from Norway and the Netherlands, respectively).

  • Richard Stone's Contributions to Input-Output
    RICHARD STONE'S CONTRIBUTIONS TO INPUT-OUTPUT ANALYSIS GIANDEMETRIO MARANGONIA* AND DOMENICO ROSSIGNOLIB a Department of Business Administration, University of Verona, Italy b DISEIS and CSCC, Catholic University, Milan, Italy * Corresponding author. E-mail: [email protected] 1 Abstract This paper aims to highlight Richard Stone’s contribution to input-output analysis. The relevance, originality and effectiveness of Richard Stone's contribution to the development of input-output analysis is closely tied to the international and national positions he held during his fruitful professional life: internationally, by contributing to the United Nations programme for developing a standard system of national accounts; and nationally, through being Director of the Department of Applied Economics and of the Programme for Growth at the University of Cambridge. Richard Stone's contributions to input-output analysis - as well as to economics in general - originate from his profound belief that economic analysis needs to be firmly based on quantitative foundations in order to make theory relate effectively to empirical data. ‘My interest in economics’ says Stone ‘was from the beginning in its applications. I thought that the economics I was taught was insufficiently quantitative and that theory and facts were too widely separated. … The real difficulty is to combine the two so that theory can be used to interpret facts and facts can show what has to be interpreted.’ [R. Stone and M. Hashem Pesaran, The ET interview: Professor Sir Richard Stone, Econometric Theory, Vol. 7, No. 1, 1991, pp. 89]. This methodological approach characterized all Stone’s academic research and professional career. The paper provides an overview of both the major theoretical and empirical contributions of Richard Stone to input-output analysis, as well as of less known essays.

  • Richard Stone: an Annotated Bibliography
    Mauro Baranzini GianDemetrio Marangoni Richard Stone: an Annotated Bibliography Mauro Baranzini GianDemetrio Marangoni University of Lugano and University of Verona and Accademia dei Lincei - Rome University of Lugano Richard Stone: an Annotated Bibliography USI First edition: 2015 ISBN 978-88-6101-014-7 Copyright © 2014 Università della Svizzera italiana CH-6900 Lugano The ‘Stone Collection’ at the Central Library of the University of Lugano comprises Richard Stone’s complete works in the field of economics. The collection consists of approximately 200 articles and books, published between 1936 and 1991, the year of his death, as well as some posthumous works, manuscripts and secondary literature. Much of the material comes from a donation by Richard Stone’s wife, Giovanna. The remaining part has been assembled and made available by the authors of this bibliography and by the Library of the University of Lugano (BUL). This Annotated Bibliography is also part of the Collection. It presents brief comments on each item in the collection, biographical notes and some more general considerations. The authors would like to thank Domenico Rossignoli for bibliographical research and Nigel and Caroline Webb for text revision. Particular thanks are due to the Director of the University Library, Giuseppe Origgi, for his valuable collaboration with this project. 1 The task of presenting the contributions of Richard Stone to economics, and in particular to the theory of income distribution, is facilitated, to some extent, by the existence of a number of complete lists of his publications, issued in books and international journals [see, for instance, Bibliography of Richard Stone’s Works, 1936-1984, The Scandinavian Journal of Economics , Vol.
