The Financial Crisis and the Future of the US Dollar as the Global Reserve Currency
In early 2009, the world economy seemed to be headed toward irreversible decline. However, it appears that a strong dose of stimulative monetary and fiscal policy has succeeded in stabilizing the financial system and setting the stage for global recovery. But while the overall sense of doom has been replaced by one of hope, the recovery has been highly uneven. The US economy, which was at the epicenter of the crisis, still faces a long hard slog in returning to sustained growth and lower unemployment, and the continental European economies have bounced back but are unlikely to record high growth. Emerging markets are another story altogether, with China and India in particular returning to r...
The Economics of World War I
This unique volume offers a definitive new history of European economies at war from 1914 to 1918. It studies how European economies mobilised for war, how existing economic institutions stood up under the strain, how economic development influenced outcomes and how wartime experience influenced post-war economic growth. Leading international experts provide the first systematic comparison of economies at war between 1914 and 1918 based on the best available data for Britain, Germany, France, Russia, the USA, Italy, Turkey, Austria-Hungary and the Netherlands. The editors' overview draws some stark lessons about the role of economic development, the importance of markets and the damage done by nationalism and protectionism. A companion volume to the acclaimed The Economics of World War II, this is a major contribution to our understanding of total war.
Financial Markets and Financial Crises
Warnings of the threat of an impending financial crisis are not new, but do we really know what constitutes an actual episode of crisis and how, once begun, it can be prevented from escalating into a full-blown economic collapse? Using both historical and contemporary episodes of breakdowns in financial trade, contributors to this volume draw insights from theory and empirical data, from the experience of closed and open economies worldwide, and from detailed case studies. They explore the susceptibility of American corporations to economic downturns; the origins of banking panics; and the behavior of financial markets during periods of crisis. Sever papers specifically address the current thrift crisis—including a detailed analysis of the over 500 FSLIC-insured thrifts in the southeast—and seriously challenge the value of recent measures aimed at preventing future collapse in that industry. Government economists and policy makers, scholars of industry and banking, and many in the business community will find these timely papers an invaluable reference.
This Time Is Different
An empirical investigation of financial crises during the last 800 years.
The American Economy in Transition
This unusual volume marks the sixtieth anniversary of the National Bureau of Economic Research. In contrast to the technical and specialized character of most NBER studies, the current book is designed to provide the general reader with a broad and critical overview of the American economy. The result is a volume of essays that range from monetary policy to productivity development, from population change to international trade.
