The World Economy After the Global Crisis

A New Economic Order for the 21st Century

By: Barry J. Eichengreen,Pog-y?ng Pak

The global credit crisis of 2008OCo2009 was the most serious shock to the world economy in fully 80 years. It was for the world as a whole what the Asian crisis of 1997OCo1998 was for emerging markets: a profoundly alarming wake-up call. By laying bare the fragility of global markets, it raised troubling questions about the operation of our deeply integrated world economy. It cast doubt on the efficacy of the dominant mode of light-touch financial regulation and more generally on the efficacy of the prevailing commitment to economic and financial liberalization. It challenged the managerial capacity of inherited institutions of global governance. And it augured a changing of the guard, pointing to the possibility that the economies that had been the leaders in the OC global growth stakesOCO in the past might no longer be the leaders in the future. What the crisis means for reform, however, is still unclear. This book brings together leading scholars and policy analysts to describe and weigh the options. Successive chapters assess options for the global financial system, the global trading system, the international monetary system, and the Group of 20 and global governance. A final set of chapters contemplates the policy challenges for emerging markets and the advanced economies in the wake of the financial crisis.

Capital Account Liberalization

Theoretical and Practical Aspects

By: Mr.Giovanni Dell'Ariccia,Ms.Enrica Detragiache,Mr.Michael Mussa,Mr.Barry J. Eichengreen

Capital account liberalization - orderly, properly sequence, and befitting the individual circumstances of countries- is an inevitable step for all countries wishing to realize the benefits of the globalized economy. This paper reviews the theories behind capital account liberalization and examines the dangers associated with free capital flows. The authors conclude that the dangers can be limited through a combination of sound macroeconomic and prudential policies.

Fostering Monetary & Financial Cooperation in East Asia

By: Duck-Koo Chung,Barry J. Eichengreen

Since the Asian financial crisis of 1997OCo1998, there has been a deep and abiding desire on the part of Asian policy makers and opinion makers to enhance the region''s economic, monetary and financial self-sufficiency OCo or at least to ring-fence the region against financial instability and give it a louder voice in global financial affairs. There has been progress in these directions, notably in the form of the Chiang Mai Initiative of financial supports and the Asian Bond Market Initiative to build a single Asian financial market. But progress is hindered by disagreements among the principal national governments OCo Japan, China and South Korea OCo and resistance to the development of an Asian bloc from both Europe and the United States. This volume considers these issues from a number of different national and analytical perspectives. Scholars from all the relevant regions and countries are represented: Japan, China, Korea, Europe and the United States. While there have been a few previous books and articles concerned with the issue of Asian integration, this is one of the first volumes to successfully draw together top contributors from these different countries and regions to address the issues in a rigorous but relatively accessible way.

The Populist Temptation

Economic Grievance and Political Reaction in the Modern Era

By: Barry J. Eichengreen

Populism, a political movement with anti-elite, authoritarian and nativist tendencies, typically spearheaded by a charismatic leader, is an old phenomenon but also a very new and disturbing one at that. The Populist Temptation is an effort to understand the wellsprings of populist movements and why the threat they pose to mainstream political parties and pluralistic democracy has been more successfully contained in some cases than others"--

Aftershocks of Monetary Unification

Hysteresis with a Financial Twist

By: Mr.Tamim Bayoumi,Mr.Barry J. Eichengreen

Once upon a time, in the 1990s, it was widely agreed that neither Europe nor the United States was an optimum currency area, although moderating this concern was the finding that it was possible to distinguish a regional core and periphery (Bayoumi and Eichengreen, 1993). Revisiting these issues, we find that the United States is remains closer to an optimum currency area than the Euro Area. More intriguingly, the Euro Area shows striking changes in correlations and responses which we interpret as reflecting hysteresis with a financial twist, in which the financial system causes aggregate supply and demand shocks to reinforce each other. An implication is that the Euro Area needs vigorous, coordinated regulation of its banking and financial systems by a single supervisor—that monetary union without banking union will not work.

Crisis Resolution

Next Steps

By: Mr.Ashoka Mody,Mr.Barry J. Eichengreen,Kenneth Kletzer

At the April 2003 meeting of the International Monetary and Financial Committees, it was decided to further encourage the contractual approach to smoothing the process of sovereign debt restructuring by encouraging the more widespread use of collective action clauses (CACs) in international bonds. This decision was shaped partly by Mexico's successful launch of a bond subject to New York law but featuring CACs, and by subsequent issues with similar provisions from other emerging market countries. This paper reviews the developments leading up to that event, its implications, and prospects for the future. It asks whether we can expect to see additional issuance by emerging markets of bonds featuring CACs, whether such a trend would in fact help to make the world a safer financial place, and what additional steps might be taken to further enhance modalities for crisis resolution.

Financial Development in Asia

The Way Forward

By: Barry J. Eichengreen

Data shows that emerging Asia relies less on bonds and more on banks than developed countries. What costs, if any, do Asian countries incur as a result of their heavy dependence on bank finance. Eichengreen addresses the questions: what benefits will flow from better bond markets and will initiatives now being taken be adequate for achieving this end?

Restraining Yourself

Fiscal Rules and Stabilization

By: Mr.Tamim Bayoumi,Mr.Barry J. Eichengreen

State budgets in the United States played a significant macroeconomic role in the 1970s and 1980s, and the level of cyclical responsiveness was affected by the severity of statutory and constitutional fiscal restraints. Moving from no fiscal restraints to the most stringent restraints lowered the fiscal offset to income fluctuations by around 40 percent. Simulations indicate that a reduction in aggregate fiscal stabilizers of this size could lead to a significant increase in the variance of aggregate output.

Public Debt Through the Ages

By: Mr.Barry J. Eichengreen,Ms.Asmaa A ElGanainy,Rui Pedro Esteves,Kris James Mitchener

We consider public debt from a long-term historical perspective, showing how the purposes for which governments borrow have evolved over time. Periods when debt-to-GDP ratios rose explosively as a result of wars, depressions and financial crises also have a long history. Many of these episodes resulted in debt-management problems resolved through debasements and restructurings. Less widely appreciated are successful debt consolidation episodes, instances in which governments inheriting heavy debts ran primary surpluses for long periods in order to reduce those burdens to sustainable levels. We analyze the economic and political circumstances that made these successful debt consolidation episodes possible.

Hedge Funds and Financial Market Dynamics

By: Mrs.Anne Jansen,Mr.Bankim Chadha,Ms.Laura E. Kodres,Mr.Donald J. Mathieson,Mr.Sunil Sharma,Mr.Barry J. Eichengreen

Hedge funds are collective investment vehicles, often organized as private partnerships and resident offshore for tax and regulatory purposes. Their legal status places few restrictions on their portfolios and transactions, leaving their managers free to use short sales, derivative securities, and leverage to raise returns and cushion risk. This paper considers the role of hedge funds in financial market dynamics, with particular reference to the Asian crisis.

Economics literature emphasizes the need to limit IMF financial rescues, but inaction is too painful. This first "Special Report" argues that institutional reforms are needed if the international policy community is to succeed in containing the moral hazard caused by IMF financial rescues.

Financial Globalization and Inequality: Capital Flows as a Two-Edged Sword

By: Mr.Barry J. Eichengreen,Mr.Balazs Csonto,Ms.Asmaa A ElGanainy,Zsoka Koczan

We review the debate on the association of financial globalization with inequality. We show that the within-country distributional impact of capital account liberalization is context specific and that different types of flows have different distributional effects. Their overall impact depends on the composition of capital flows, their interaction, and on broader economic and institutional conditions. A comprehensive set of policies – macroeconomic, financial and labor- and product-market specific – is important for facilitating wider sharing of the benefits of financial globalization.

Thick vs. Thin-Skinned

Technology, News, and Financial Market Reaction

By: Mr.Barry J. Eichengreen,Romain Lafarguette,Arnaud Mehl

We study the impact of technology on the reaction of financial markets to information, focusing on the foreign exchange market. We contrast the “thin-skinned” view that technological improvements cause markets to react more to new information with the “thick-skinned” view that they react less. We pinpoint exogenous technological changes using the timing of the connection of countries via the submarine fiber-optic cables used for electronic trading. Cable connections dampen the response of exchange rates to macroeconomic news, consistent with the “thick-skinned” hypothesis. This is in line with the view that technology eases access to information and reduces trend-following behavior. According to our estimates, cable connections reduce the reaction of exchange rates to U.S. monetary policy news by 50 to 80 percent.
