TY - BOOK T1 - Risky Mortgages, Bank Leverage, and Credit Policy AN - 1767319940; 2011-910306 AB - Two key channels that allowed the 2007-2009 mortgage crisis to severely impact the real economy were a housing net worth channel, as defined by Mian and Su (2014), which affected the wealth of leveraged households, and a bank net worth channel, which reduced the ability of financial intermediaries to provide credit. To capture these features of the Great Recession, this study developed a DSGE model with balance-sheet constrained banks financing both risky mortgages and productive capital.

This study assesses whether the ex-ante (ie, prior to the crisis) cross-sectional variability in bank characteristics is related to the ex-post (ie, during the crisis) materialization of bank risk. This tailor-made dataset crucially accounts for the different dimensions of realized bank risk including access to central bank liquidity during the crisis. Less reliance on deposit funding, more aggressive credit growth, larger size and leverage were associated with larger levels of realized risk. Tables, Figures, Appendixes, References.

Leveraging recent advances in network analysis, this study analyzes two network structures, a correlation network based on publicly traded bank returns, and a physical network based on interbank lending transactions. While the two networks behave similarly pre-crisis, during the crisis the correlation network shows an increase in interconnectedness while the physical network highlights a marked decrease in interconnectedness. Moreover, these networks respond differently to monetary and macroeconomic shocks. Physical networks forecast liquidity problems while correlation networks forecast financial crises.

The study measures differential demand by comparing firms that primarily supply to government customers with those that primarily supply to corporate customers. A difference-in-difference analysis shows little evidence that relatively high demand firms provide more or less liquidity to their own suppliers. The main determinant of the usage of short-term financing is a product market shock. Tables, Figures, Appendixes, References.

The effect is short-lived as firms respond by reallocating resources away from treated markets and by reducing their use of labor. Tables, References.

AN - 1767319859; 2011-910301 AB - The authors suggest using 'realized volatility' as a volatility proxy to aid in model-based multivariate bond yield density forecasting. To do so, they develop a general estimation approach to incorporate volatility proxy information into dynamic factor models with stochastic volatility. The resulting model parameter estimates are highly efficient, which should translate into superior predictive performance. This conjecture is explored in the context of density prediction of US bond yields by incorporating realized volatility into a dynamic Nelson-Siegel (DNS) model with stochastic volatility.

This study presents the first systematic evidence on how this new investor activity differs from that of other investors in the housing market. Many aspects of buy-to-rent investor behavior are consistent with holding property for rent rather than reselling quickly. Additionally, the large size of these investors imparts a few important advantages. In the short run, this investment activity appears to have supported house prices in the areas where it is concentrated. The longer-run impacts remain to be seen.

This study uses data from the New York Federal Reserve/Equifax Consumer Credit Panel, the US Department of Housing and Urban Development, and other sources to jointly estimate the decision to extract equity through these different channels. It identifies the influence of credit constraints, house price dynamics, and their interactions on the seniors in a ZIP code extracting through a given channel each year from 2004 to 2012: the boom and bust period in the housing market.

The estimation procedure uses credit spreads to help identify the role of financial shocks amenable to stabilization via monetary or macroprudential instruments. The estimated model implies that monetary policy should not respond strongly to the credit cycle and can only partially insulate the economy from the distortionary effects of financial frictions/shocks.

The study successfully replicated the key qualitative result of 22 of 67 papers (33%) without contacting the authors and 29 of 59 papers (49%) with assistance from the authors. Because the study was able to replicate less than half of the papers in the sample even with help from the authors, this paper asserts that economics research is usually not replicable.

Consistent with the disposition effect, short sellers are more likely to close a position the higher their capital gains. Furthermore, stocks with high short sale capital gains experience negative returns, suggesting that their disposition effect has an effect on stock prices. A trading strategy based on this finding achieves significant three-factor alphas. Overall, short sellers' behavioral biases limit their ability to arbitrage away the mispricing caused by the disposition effect of other market participants. Tables, Figures, Appendixes, References.

The study extends Hsieh and Klenow's (2009) methodology to include intermediate inputs and consider all sectors of the economy (agriculture, manufacturing, and services). It finds that within-industry misallocation almost doubled between 1996 and 2011. Equalizing total factor revenue productivity across firms within an industry could have boosted valued-added 48% and 79% above actual levels in 1996 and 2011, respectively.

These flows are a significant component of capital flows in emerging market economies, where physical US currency functions as a safe asset, and precautionary demand for US banknotes is a form of flight to quality. Prior to the global financial crisis, country-specific factors, including local economic uncertainty, largely explained the volume and heterogeneity of the flows. Since the crisis, global factors, particularly, global economic uncertainty, explain the flows markedly well. Further, precautionary demand for US banknotes is not episodic.

AN - 1767319768; 2011-910317 AB - This paper studies the impact of recessions on the longer-run level of output using data on 23 advanced economies over the past 40 years. It finds that severe recessions have a sustained and sizable negative impact on the level of output. This sustained decline in output raises questions about the underlying properties of output and how trend output or potential around recessions is modeled. There is little support for the view that output rises faster than trend immediately following recessions to close the output gap. Tables, Figures, Appendixes.

To address this question, it takes advantage of a unique dataset of over 200,000 credit card mail solicitations to a representative sample of households over the recent credit cycle, a period that includes the implementation of the CARD Act. It finds that while lenders use credit scores as a prominent screening device, they also take into account a wide array of other information on borrowers' credit histories and financial and demographic characteristics.

Forecasts and probabilities of extreme events from the models are evaluated against comparable estimates from other statistical models, from surveys, and from financial markets.

It measure disclosure via a self-constructed index for the largest 80 US bank holding companies for the period 1998-2011 and provides evidence that a bank's management responds to a plausibly exogenous deterioration in the supply of public information by increasing its voluntary disclosure, which in turn improves investors' assessment of the bank risk and value. This evidence suggests that disclosure may alleviate informational frictions and lead to a more efficient allocation of risk and return. Tables, Figures, Appendixes, References.

The methods address a fundamental problem faced by forecasters: the most useful model is simple but makes use of all relevant indicators. The results indicate that successful models of recession condition on different economic indicators at different forecast horizons. Predictors that describe real economic activity provide the clearest signal of recession at very short horizons. In contrast, signals from housing and financial markets produce the best forecasts at longer forecast horizons. A real-time forecast experiment explores the predictability of the 2001 and 2007 recessions. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. Copyright John Wiley & Sons. Reproduced with permission.

Estimation of the real interest rate faces considerable econometric and empirical challenges. These challenges are addressed by applying Bayesian methods and examining the role of several 'demand shifters,' including asset prices, fiscal policy, and credit conditions.

The federal Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) provided funding for local policymakers to rehabilitate or demolish foreclosed and vacant properties, in order to mitigate negative spillovers on surrounding neighborhoods. This paper investigates the impact of NSP investments on localized crime patterns in Cleveland, Chicago, and Denver. Results suggest that demolition activity in Cleveland decreased burglary and theft, but do not find measurable impacts of property rehabilitation investments. Tables, Figures, Appendixes, References.

This study tests the empirical relevance of these theories by analyzing how dispersed information affects banks' default risk. It finds evidence that precise information acts as a coordination device which reduces creditors' willingness to roll over debt to a bank, thus increasing both its default risk and its vulnerability to changes in expectations. Given an unfavorable median forecast, less dispersed beliefs greatly increase default risk, and less dispersion of beliefs amplifies the reaction of default risk to changes in market expectations.

This study explores the effect of investor sentiment on the relation between technological innovation and future firm-level research and development (R&D) expenses, which include the resources used for small-scale experimentation. It finds that rapidly improving investor sentiment strengthens the effect of technological innovation on one-year-ahead R&D expenses and that the effect is more pronounced for high-tech firms with tighter financing constraints.

Countercyclical marginal costs exacerbate the procyclicality of dividends after a technology shock and generate countercyclical inflation. Marginal costs fall after a negative technology shock as the price level increases, so the payoffs of short-duration dividend claims (bonds) are more (less) procyclical than the payoffs of long-duration claims (bonds). The presence of market and home consumption habits can unite nonlinear habits and a production economy without compromising the ability of the model to fit macroeconomic variables.

First, the study analyzes the optimal pay-for-performance in a model in which corporate decisions and firm value are both endogenous to trading due to feedback from information contained in stock prices. In a less frictional financial market, the improved information content of stock prices helps guide managerial decisions, and this information substitutes out part of the direct incentive provision from compensation contracts. Thus, the optimal pay-for-performance is lowered in response to reductions in market frictions. The financial market environment plays an important role in shaping CEO compensation structure.

The contract is constrained efficient because firm revenue is costly to monitor and entrepreneurs may default. The cost of monitoring firms and the entrepreneurs' outside options determine the significance of moral hazard relative to limited enforcement for financial contracting. Calibrating the model to the US economy, this study finds that the relative welfare loss from financial frictions is about 5% in terms of aggregate consumption with moral hazard, while it is 1% with limited enforcement.

In the run up to the 2007-2009 crisis, banks that were more active at originating asset-backed securities did not price their loans more aggressively than less-active banks. Within the set of loans that were previously securitized, the relative level of securitization activity by the originating bank was not related to narrower lending spreads. While the credit cycle seems to have a major impact of lending standards, the effect of securitization activity appears to be very limited. Tables, References.

This paper assesses the reliability of two-sided data from the US by comparing the number of foreign suppliers from US import data to origin-country data. Such exporter counts tend to be lower than the same counts from raw US data. This analysis presents broad support for usage of US data to study buyer-supplier relationships. Tables, References.

To mitigate these risks, firms can buy special trade finance products from banks. This paper explores under which conditions and to what extent firms use these products. It finds that letters of credit and documentary collections cover about 10% of US exports and are preferred for larger transactions, indicating substantial fixed costs. Letters of credit are employed the most for exports to countries with intermediate contract enforcement. Compared to documentary collections, they are used for riskier destinations. This report provides a model that rationalizes these empirical findings and discusses implications. Tables, Figures, Appendixes, References.

Using weekly data from 2002 to 2015, this study analyzes money market dynamics in a long-run equilibrium framework where commonly-monitored spreads serve as error correction terms. It finds strong evidence for nonlinearities with respect to levels of the spreads. The results indicate significant asymmetry in the adjustment toward long-run equilibrium.

As a result, individual-level differences in access to credit are largely preserved at the household level. Moreover, it finds that the couples' average level of and the match quality in credit scores, measured at the time of relationship formation, are highly predictive of subsequent separations.

There are two primary objectives: (1) explore the determinants of two-year changes in individual labor earnings and family incomes, such as job or industry changes, marriage, divorce, and geographic mobility and (2) evaluate how federal income taxes stabilize or destabilize post-tax income changes relative to pre-tax changes. The study finds a relatively high degree of income mobility, with almost half of workers exhibiting earnings increases or decreases of at least 25%, and two-fifths of tax units experiencing income changes of this magnitude.

But an abrupt change occurred in the fall of 2008, when small lenders left the federal funds market en masse and those that remained lent smaller amounts, less frequently. Increases in counterparty and liquidity risk are associated with reduced lending activity within the network. Tables, Figures, References.

One challenge has been identifying whether higher default rates after an increase in debt payments stem from the inability of borrowers to pay the higher amount, or the attrition of better borrowers in advance of the payment change. A related question is whether the higher default rate is a result of features of the debt product, or the type of borrower who chooses the product. This study addresses these questions as they relate to a scheduled increase in payments on home equity lines of credit (HELOCs). Tables, Figures, Appendixes, References.

This study shows that these authors' measures of inflation with and without store switching suffer from several methodological deficiencies, including an excessive truncation of price adjustments and the lack of a treatment for missing observations. When these deficiencies are addressed, the authors' key regression results no longer suggest that greater store switching during downturns is a statistically or economically significant phenomenon.

The model generates realistic non-Gaussian features of consumption growth and fits standard salient features of asset prices including the means and volatilities of equity returns and a low risk free rate. BEGE dynamics additionally allow the model to generate realistic properties of equity index options prices and their comovements with the macroeconomic outlook. In particular, when option-implied volatility is high, the distribution of consumption growth is more negatively skewed. Tables, Figures, Appendixes, References.

The study finds that insurance companies, pension funds, and, in particular, structured-finance vehicles take higher credit risk when investors expect interest rates to remain low. Banks originate riskier loans that they tend to divest shortly after origination, thus appearing to accommodate other lenders' investment choices. Tables, Figures.

This study explores two events that define markedly different periods of transparency over this 32-year period: (1) The 1978 Humphrey-Hawkins Act increased the degree to which the FOMC used meeting minutes to convey the content of its meetings and (2) The 1993 decision to publish nearly verbatim transcripts also increased transparency. However, the cost was an increasing degree of conformity at each meeting. Tables, Figures, Appendixes, References.

Empirically consistent predictions have proved elusive without participation costs, informational frictions, or nonstandard preferences. This study demonstrates that once human capital investment is allowed, standard theory predicts portfolio choices much closer to those empirically observed. For participation, human capital returns exceed financial asset returns for most young households and, as households age, this is reversed. For shares, risks to human capital limit the household's desire to hold wealth in risky financial equity. Tables, Figures, References.

AN - 1767319699; 2011-910297 AB - A substantial share of the wealth of Americans is held in tax-deferred form such as in retirement accounts or as unrealized capital gains. Most data and statistics on assets and wealth is reported on a pre-tax basis, but pre-tax values include an implicit tax liability and may not be an accurate measure of the material well-being of families. This analysis suggests that, relative to published statistics on pre-tax net worth, the distribution of after-tax wealth is slightly less concentrated at each time and the effectiveness of the income tax system in reducing wealth inequality has decreased during the last decade.

This paper constructs a novel index of domestic macroprudential policies in 57 advanced and emerging economies covering the period from 2000:Q1 to 2013:Q4, with tightenings and easings recorded separately. The effectiveness of these policies in curbing bank credit growth and house price inflation is then assessed using a dynamic panel data model. Tables, Figures, References.

Macro-level data sources are often used to measure household accounts, but lack important information about heterogeneity across different types of households that can be found in micro-level data sources. This paper compares aggregates computed based on one micro-level data source -- the Survey of Consumer Finances (SCF) -- with macro-level sources of information on household accounts. It finds that on most measures, aggregates computed from the SCF line up well with macrolevel data sources once a comparable series was constructed. Tables, Figures, Appendixes.

The SCF confirms that inequality is indeed increasing in recent decades, and the data provide support for the proposition that shocks to income and wealth are indeed related to large swings in spending across and within birth cohorts. However, the economic shocks associated with the Great Recession and changes in spending and debt to income ratios are widespread, and inconsistent with a narrow focus on the experiences and changes in behavior of particular (especially low- and modest-income) households.

Stock volatility decreased after the tax cut for firms where an executive has large holdings of shares and options relative to firms where an executive has small holdings of shares and options. Therefore, with a risk-averse executive and risk-neutral shareholders, dividend taxes may exacerbate agency costs. The increase in agency costs will decrease shareholder welfare, which can be partially offset by the use of options in the employment contract. Tables, Figures, References.

Low mortgage rates encourage buyers to enter the housing market, raising the speed at which properties can be sold. Because lenders can resell seized foreclosure inventory at lower cost in such a hot housing market, ex-ante they are comfortable financing a larger fraction of the house purchase. Consistent with this mechanism, this study documents empirically that both the housing sales rate and loan-to-value ratios increase after expansionary monetary policy. Tables, Figures, References.

There was little evidence that changes in labor costs have had a material effect on price inflation in recent years, even for compensation measures where some degree of pass-through to prices still appears to be present. The results cast doubt on explanations of recent inflation behavior that appeal to such mechanisms as downward nominal wage rigidity or a differential contribution of long-term and short-term unemployed workers to wage and price pressures.

By combining survey, behavioral, and time-series evidence on the 2011 payroll tax cut and its expiration in 2013, this paper identifies and analyzes households who smooth debt repayment. These 'balance-sheet households' are as prevalent as 'permanent-income households,' who smooth consumption in response to the temporary tax cut, and outnumber 'constrained households,' who temporarily boost spending. The asymmetric spending response of balance-sheet households poses challenges to standard models, but nonetheless appears important for understanding individual and aggregate responses to fiscal stimulus.

Liquidity determines the liquidity premium, which affects issuance in the primary market, and this effect feeds back into secondary market liquidity by changing the composition of investors' portfolios. The privately optimal allocations are inefficient because investors and firms fail to internalize how their behavior affects secondary market liquidity. The analysis provides a rationale for the effect of quantitative easing on secondary and primary capital markets and the real economy. Tables, Figures, Appendixes, References.

When there is no default in equilibrium, there is indeterminacy. Positive default in every state of the world on some long-term loan endogenously creates positive liquid wealth that supports positive interest rates and resolves the aforementioned indeterminacy. Hence, a non-Ricardian policy across loan markets can determine the equilibrium allocations while it allows the central bank to earn profits from seigniorage in order to compensate for any losses.

The Role of Central Bank Communication and News AN - 1735643201; 2011-901975 AB - Analyzes whether central bank communication can facilitate the understanding of key economic concepts. Using survey data for consumers and professionals, researchers calculated how many communications have expectations consistent with the Fisher Equation, the Taylor rule, and the Phillips curve and test, by accounting for three different communication channels and whether central banks can influence those. Results show that having theory-consistent expectations is beneficial, as it improves the forecast accuracy. Exploring this time variation, provides evidence that central bank communication as well as news on monetary policy can improve the efficacy of monetary policy. Tables, Figures, Appendixes.

These two facts combined suggest that managers learn to reduce their mistakes as they operate while young firms have substantially higher financing costs due to lower and riskier returns. A reduction in the financial development of an economy raises disproportionately the cost of credit of young-productive firms increasing the input misallocation within this subgroup. The data confirms some novel predictions on a series of firm-level moments, and introducing these two facts allows the model to better explain the relation between financial and economic development.

This study presents a model with ambiguity averse investors to explain how such a market freeze could occur and to investigate how ambiguity affects origination and securitization decisions. The model captures many features of the crisis, including market freezes and fire sales, as well as the timing and duration of the freeze. The presence of ambiguity also reduces real economic activity. Lastly, the study considers the differing implications of ambiguity and risk, as well as the role of policies that reduce ambiguity during market freezes. Tables, Figures, Appendixes, References.

Underlying this result is the existence of predictable mean reversion in credit-market conditions. Unlike much of the current literature on the role of financial frictions in macroeconomics, this paper suggests that time-variation in expected returns to credit market investors can be an important driver of economic fluctuations.

AN - 1761660445; 2011-902513 AB - The literature documents a heterogeneous asset price response to macroeconomic news announcements: Some announcements have a strong impact on asset prices and others do not. In order to explain these differences, this study estimates a novel measure of the intrinsic value of a macroeconomic announcement. Using the nowcasting framework, the study then decomposes this intrinsic value into the announcement's characteristics: its relation to fundamentals, timing, and revision noise. In the 1998-2013 period, a significant fraction of the variation in the announcements' price impact on the Treasury bond futures market can be explained by differences in intrinsic value.

AN - 1761662894; 2011-902495 AB - In 2010, in response to an ever-worsening fiscal crisis, the European Central Bank (ECB) began purchasing sovereign debt from troubled euro-area countries through its Securities Market Programme (SMP). This program was designed to improve market functioning and restore the monetary transmission mechanism within the euro area. This paper tests whether SMP purchases systematically lowered peripheral yields and spreads. It concludes that the ECB's SMP influenced yields through a confidence channel rather than through any direct purchase effect. Tables, Figures.

The two primary channels through which funding might operate to reallocate students across sectors are price (measured by tuition) and quality (measured by resource constraints). This study estimates, on average, that a 10% cut in appropriations raises tuition about 1% to 2% and decreases faculty resources by 1/2% to 1%, creating substantial bottlenecks for prospective students on both price and quality.

Each time series, the growth rate of sales of a specific firm, is decomposed in an unobserved common macroeconomic component and in a residual interpreted as an idiosyncratic firm-level component. The empirical results suggest that, when controlled for aggregate shocks, idiosyncratic shocks do not explain much of US GDP growth fluctuations. Tables, Figures, Appendixes, References.

This analysis covers the so-called taper-tantrum episode of 2013 and six earlier episodes of severe EME-wide financial stress since the mid-1990s. The study found that differences in economic fundamentals played a role in explaining the heterogeneous EME financial market responses during the global financial crisis of 2008, and the role of fundamentals appeared to progressively increase through the European crisis in 2011 and subsequently the 2013 taper tantrum.

A key reason for using administrative data to measure top shares is to overcome the under-representation of families at the very top that plagues most household surveys. However, using tax records alone restricts the unit of analysis for measuring economic resources, limits the concepts of income and wealth being measured, and imposes a rigid correlation between income and wealth. The Survey of Consumer Finances (SCF) solves the under-representation problem by combining administrative and survey data. Tables, Figures, Appendixes, References.

First, by examining the historical news record and the forecasts of contemporary business analysts, it shows that inflation expectations increased dramatically. Second, using an event-studies approach, the study identifies the impact on financial markets of the key events that shifted inflation expectations. Third, it gathers new evidence -- both quantitative and narrative -- that indicates that the shift in inflation expectations played a causal role in stimulating the recovery.

In this paper, we revisit a set of simple recursions known as the 'Chandrasekhar Recursions' developed by Morf (Fast Algorithms for Multivariate Systems, Ph.D. thesis, Stanford University, 1974) and Morf et al. (IEEE Trans Autom Control 19:315-323, 1974) for evaluating the likelihood of a Linear Gaussian State Space System. We show that DSGE models are ideally suited for the use of these recursions, which work best when the number of states is much greater than the number of observables. In several examples, we show that there are substantial benefits to using the recursions, with likelihood evaluation up to five times faster. This gain is especially pronounced in light of the trivial implementation costs, no model modification is required. Moreover, the algorithm is complementary with other approaches.

This stylized fact persists even when controlling for factors that affect prepayment behavior, and thus determine the MBS that are delivered to the Federal Reserve. After ruling out several potential explanations for this result, this study provides evidence that points to an agency problem in the secondary market for MBS, which has not previously been documented, as the most likely explanation for the abnormal prepayment behavior of Federal Reserve-held MBS.

Firm level costs for contingent contracts generate a separating equilibrium in which less productive firms post wages. The model with heterogeneous contracts can achieve wage dispersion, labor share, employment transitions, and flow value of unemployment that are simultaneously consistent with empirical observations even when most firms post wages. Using German employee-level administrative data, the study estimate roughly 70% of firms post wages and employ nearly 50% of workers under such contracts. Tables, Figures, References.

In particular, the study imposes sign and zero restrictions only on the monetary policy equation. Since it does not restrict the response of output to a monetary policy shock, it is agnostic in Uhlig's (2005) sense. But, in contrast to Uhlig (2005), the results support the conventional view that a monetary policy shock leads to a decline in output: Contractionary effects of monetary policy shocks do not hinge on questionable exclusion restrictions.

AN - 1735645379; 2011-901967 AB - Estimates of investor expectations of government support of large financial firms are often based on large financial firms' lower borrowing costs relative to smaller financial firms. This study finds that the credit default swaps (CDS) and bond spreads of financial firms are no more sensitive to borrower size than the spreads of non-financial firms. However, the analysis also suggests that, prior to the financial crisis, investor expectations of government support, or generally reduced risk perceptions, may have reduced borrowing costs for the financial industry as a whole.

The study shows that beyond the well-established socioeconomic factors such as income, age, or gender, the household's financial situation and their purchasing attitudes are important determinants of their forecast accuracy. Respondents with current or expected financial difficulties, pessimistic attitudes about major purchases, or expectations that income will go down in the future have a stronger upward bias in their expectations than other households. However, their bias shrinks by more than that of the average household in response to increasing media reporting about inflation. Tables, Figures, References.

Differences in the firms' price-setting behavior were concentrated in sectors characterized by customer markets. This study develops a model, in which firms face financial frictions, while setting prices in a customer-markets setting. Financial distortions create an incentive for firms to raise prices in response to adverse demand or financial shocks. These results reflect the firms' reaction to preserve internal liquidity and avoid accessing external finance, factors that strengthen the countercyclical behavior of markups and attenuate the response of inflation to fluctuations in output.

It identifies 155 episodes of large capital inflows and finds that these events are typically accompanied by an economic boom and followed by a slump. Moreover, during episodes of large capital inflows, capital and labor shift out of the manufacturing sector, especially if the inflows begin during a period of low international interest rates. However, accumulating reserves during the period in which capital inflows are unusually large appears to limit the extent of labor reallocation. Tables, Figures, References.

Mortgage processing capacity constraints typically bind when the demand for mortgage refinancing shifts outward, usually because of lower mortgage rates. As a result, high capacity utilization leads mortgage lenders to ration mortgage credit, completing mortgages that require less underwriting resources and are thus less costly. This is hypothesized to have an adverse impact on higher credit-risk borrowers' ability to obtain mortgages. By lowering capacity utilization, a rise in interest rates can induce an increase in mortgage originations to higher risk borrowers. Tables, Figures, References.

Investors typically decide to withdraw simultaneously, making it challenging to identify self-fulfilling runs. This study exploits the contractual structure of funding agreement-backed securities offered by US life insurers to institutional investors. The contracts allow researchers to obtain variation in investors' expectations about other investors' actions that is plausibly orthogonal to changes in fundamentals. The study finds that a run on US life insurers during 2007 was partly due to self-fulfilling expectations. Other contemporaneous runs in shadow banking by institutional investors may have had a self-fulfilling component. Tables, Figures, References.

Our main results are the following. (1) The economic costs of the new regulatory standards for bank capital and liquidity are considerably below existing estimates of the benefits that the reform should have by reducing the probability of banking crises (Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (2010) 'An Assessment of the Long-term Impact of Stronger Capital and Liquidity Requirements', Basel). (2) The reform dampens output volatility modestly, although there is some heterogeneity across models. (3) The adoption of countercyclical capital buffers can substantially amplify the dampening effect on output volatility.

A Perspective from Federal Reserve Lending during the 2007-09 U.S. Financial Crisis AN - 1735644999; 2011-901956 AB - During the 2007-2009 financial crisis, there were severe reductions in the liquidity of financial markets, runs on the shadow banking system, and destabilizing defaults and near-defaults of major financial institutions. In response, the Federal Reserve, in its role as lender of last resort (LOLR), injected extraordinary amounts of liquidity. In the aftermath, some argued that central bank lending entails extremely high costs and should be made unnecessary by liquidity regulations, while others argued that liquidity regulations are unnecessary. This paper concludes that LOLR lending and liquidity regulations are complementary tools. Tables, Figures, References.

However, questions exist about the comparability of data gathered using a web interview and data gathered using more traditional survey modes, particularly for surveys on household economic behavior. This study examines differences in survey response rates, item nonresponse, and data quality due to mode effects. The results indicate that, in contrast to mail mode, web mode surveys (1) attain higher response rates among web users, (2) display lower item nonresponse, and (3) elicit more precise values for financial measures.

Using a unique dataset of 467 Standard & Poor's Compustat (COMPUSTAT) firms with credit lines, this research studies the purpose of drawdowns during the 2007-2009 financial crisis. The data show that credit line drawdowns had already increased in 2007, precisely when disruptions in bank funding markets began to squeeze aggregate liquidity.

This study empirically evaluates the performance of these three auction formats using the bid-level data of the Federal Reserve's purchase auctions of agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS) from June 1, 2014 through November 17, 2014. The preliminary results suggest that neither uniform-price nor Vickrey auctions outperform discriminatory-price auctions in terms of the total expenditure -- However, they do outperform it in terms of efficiency, with efficiency gains around 0.74% of the surplus that dealers extract.

Returns are predictable for half the countries considered, and predictability is stronger when institutional quality is lower. The relation between predictability and institutional quality reflects the preference of countries with weaker institutions to consume oil windfalls locally rather than smooth out the impact of windfalls by, for instance, investing the proceeds through a sovereign wealth fund.

At the same time, many important questions about household wealth accumulation remain somewhat unresolved. This study considers whether measurement error on the existing suite of longitudinal surveys hinders their usefulness for addressing these questions. It reviews the features of wealth data that make it difficult to collect and assess which assets and debts households are more likely to report accurately. The study suggests several considerations in choosing between improving existing surveys and starting a new one. Tables, References.

This study infers changes in private-sector perceptions of the implicit interest rate rule that the Federal Reserve would use following liftoff from the effective lower bound. It found the net stimulus to real activity and inflation was limited by the gradual nature of the changes in policy expectations and term premium effects. Tables, Figures, Appendixes, References.

This study demonstrates that government connections are associated with substantially less severe financial constraints and that the sensitivity of investment to internal cash flows is higher for firms that report greater obstacles to obtaining external funds. Large non-state firms with weak government connections, likely the engine for innovation in the coming years in China, are especially financially constrained. Tables, Appendixes, References.

In contrast to conventional wisdom, options are often a superior vehicle for limiting managerial incentives to take bad-tail risks while providing incentives to exert effort. Arrangements similar to collar options are able to incentivize the desired project choice in wider range of circumstances than call options or stock. However, information requirements appear high. This study briefly explores alternatives with features similar to maluses and clawbacks, which are a bit like weakening the limited liability of managers. Tables, Figures, References.

This study exploits this variation to provide an unprecedented analysis of the effects of property taxes on consumer spending. A tax on the main dwelling leads to large expenditure cuts among households with mortgage debt and low liquid wealth but generates only small revenues for the government -- In contrast, higher tax rates on other residential properties reduce private savings and yield large tax revenues.

The difference between upside and downside variance risk premia is a measure of skewness risk premium. This study establishes that the downside variance risk premium is the main component of the variance risk premium, and that the skewness risk premium is a priced factor with significant prediction power for aggregate excess returns.

Researchers and policymakers frequently draw conclusions about achievement differences between various populations using methods that rely on the cardinal comparability of test scores. This paper shows that such methods can lead to erroneous conclusions in an important application. An anchoring exercise suggests that the narrowing of the income-achievement gap corresponds to an economically significant convergence in lifetime labor wealth and school completion rates for youth from high- and low-income backgrounds.

The results suggest that cross-sectional achievement gap estimates tend to be quite robust to scale misspecification. In contrast, achievement gap change estimates seem to be quite sensitive to the choice of test scale. Standard empirical methods may not robustly identify the sign of the trend in achievement inequality between students from different racial groups and income classes. Furthermore, ordinal methods may be more powerful. Tables, Figures.

Although all the models considered share antecedents and a methodological core, each model emphasizes different transmission channels. This approach delivers 'model-based confidence intervals' for the real and financial effects of shocks originating in the financial sector. The range of outcomes predicted by the five models is only slightly narrower than confidence intervals produced by simple vector autoregressions. Tables, Figures, References.

There are three novel empirical findings: (1) firms with higher tradability have more cyclical asset returns; (2) firms with higher tradability have more cyclical earnings growth; (3) returns of a portfolio long on firms with the highest tradability and short on firms with the lowest tradability can predict the real exchange rate. The empirical patterns are consistent with the relative price adjustment of tradable and non-tradable goods to business cycles driven by endowment shocks. Tables, Figures, Appendixes.

This study revisits this finding with an estimated New-Keynesian model with trend inflation and no indexation based on Christiano, Eichenbaum and Evans (2005). First, the simulations confirm Coibion and Gorodnichenko's (2011) main finding; and second, the study shows that a trend inflation-immune Taylor rule based on economic theory can avoid indeterminacy even at high levels of trend inflation such as those observed in the 1970s.

Comparisons of the point and density forecasts produced under the flat prior are made to those produced by the traditional (mixed estimation) 'Bayesian VAR' methods of Doan, Litterman and Sims, as well as to fully Bayesian 'Minnesota Prior' forecasts. The actual record and, to a somewhat lesser extent, the record of the alternative procedures studied in pseudo-real-time forecasting experiments, share a characteristic: subsequently realized revenues are in the lower tails of the predicted distributions 'too often'. An alternative empirically based prior is found by working directly on the probability distribution for the vector autoregression parameters-the goal being to discover a better-performing entropically tilted prior that minimizes out-of-sample mean squared error subject to a Kullback-Leibler divergence constraint that the new prior not differ 'too much' from the original. We also study the closely related topic of robust prediction appropriate for situations of ambiguity. Robust 'priors' are competitive in out-of-sample forecasting; despite the freedom afforded the entropically tilted prior, it does not perform better than the simple alternatives.

Using tax data, we show that preretirement withdrawals increased between 2004 and 2010, especially after 2007, but early withdrawal rates are substantial (relative to new contributions) in all those years. Early withdrawal events are strongly correlated with shocks to income and marital status, and lower-income taxpayers are more likely to experience the types of shocks associated with early withdrawals and more likely to have a taxable withdrawal when they experience a given shock.

Financial institutions invest large amounts of resources employing Monte Carlo simulation to measure and price their counterparty credit risk. This study develops efficient Monte Carlo CCR estimation frameworks by focusing on the most widely used and regulatory-driven CCR measures: expected positive exposure (EPE), credit value adjustment (CVA), and effective expected positive exposure (EEPE).

The resulting labor market conditions index (LMCI) is a useful tool for gauging the change in labor market conditions.

The Role of Regulatory Burden in New Charter Creation AN - 1684419631; 2011-817096 AB - The number of new bank charters in the US has declined dramatically in recent years. From 1990 to 2008, over 2,000 new banks were formed, more than 100 per year. From 2009 to 2013 only 7 new banks were formed, fewer than 2 per year. This paper assesses the causes of the decline in new charter creation. The results of the study suggest that even without any regulatory changes following the financial crisis, the weak economy and low interest rate environment would have caused 75-80% of the current decline in new charters.

The study estimates a discrete time proportional hazard model with competing risks to examine the determinants of post-modification mortgage outcomes and finds that principal reductions are particularly effective at improving loan outcomes -- as high loan-to-value ratios are the single greatest contributor to re-default and foreclosure, and reduced total payment and interest (P&I) reduces the likelihood of subsequent re-default and foreclosure.

Housing Market Outcomes and the Neighborhood Stabilization Program AN - 1684420232; 2011-817368 AB - To help communities recover from the foreclosure crisis, Congress enacted a set of policies known as the Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP). NSP's objective was to mitigate the impact of foreclosures on neighboring properties, through reducing the stock of distressed properties and removing sources of visual blight. This paper presents evidence on production outcomes achieved through the second round of NSP funding (NSP2) and discusses the housing market context under which the program operated from 2010 to 2013.

The current paper uses Call Report data from community banks and thrift institutions to examine the impact of receiving funds from the Small Business Lending Fund (SBLF) on their small business lending. Simple regression estimates indicate that participants in the SBLF program increased their small business lending by about 10% more than their non-participating counterparts; however, estimates that control for the ongoing growth path in small business lending indicate no statistically significant impact of SBLF participation on small business lending.

While state and local government pension obligations have been analyzed in great detail, much less attention has been paid to the costs of the other major retiree benefit provided by these governments: retiree health insurance. The first portion of the paper uses the information contained in the annual actuarial reports for public retiree health plans to reverse engineer the cash flows underlying the liabilities given in the report. Obtaining the cash flows allows us to construct liability estimates which are consistent across governments in terms of the discount rate, actuarial method and assumptions concerning medical cost inflation and mortality. We find that the total unfunded accrued liability of state and local governments for the provision of retiree health care exceeds $1 trillion, or about ⅓ of total state and local government revenue. Relative to pension obligations discounted at the same rate, we find that unfunded retiree health care liabilities are ½ the size of unfunded pension obligations. We also find that using assumptions concerning the growth in health care costs that are arguably more realistic than those employed by most states actually reduces the size of the liability in most cases. Pushing in the opposite direction, we find that using plausibly more realistic mortality assumptions increases the size of liability. The second portion of the paper places retiree health care obligations into context by examining the budget pressures associated with retiree health on a continuing, largely pay-as-you go basis. We find that much of the projected increase in retiree health obligations as a share of revenue is the result of health care cost growth. On average, states could put their retiree health obligations into long-run fiscal balance by contributing an additional ¾ percent of total revenue toward the benefit each year. There is, however, wide variation across the states, with the majority of states requiring little in the way of additional financing, but some states requiring a significantly larger increase.

An external habit model with heterogeneous firms reproduces numerous stylized facts about both the equity premium and the value premium. Value firms are temporarily low productivity firms, which will eventually experience high cash flows. The present value of these temporally distant cash flows is sensitive to risk premium movements. The value premium is the reward for bearing this sensitivity -- thus, value firms have higher cash-flow growth. Value stock returns are more sensitive to risk premium movements, as measured by consumption volatility shocks. Tables, Figures, References.

AN - 1684419710; 2011-817103 AB - Leveraged and inverse exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have been heavily criticized for exacerbating volatility in financial markets because it is thought that they mechanically rebalance their portfolios in the same direction as contemporaneous returns. This paper argues that these criticisms are likely exaggerated because they ignore the effects of capital flows on ETF rebalancing demand. Empirically, the study finds that capital flows substantially reduce the need for ETFs to rebalance when returns are large in magnitude and, therefore, mitigate the potential for these products to amplify volatility. Theoretically, flows can completely eliminate ETF rebalancing in the limit. Tables, Figures, References.

The model is applied to the term structure of US Treasury rates, estimated at the daily frequency, allowing for jumps on days of employment report announcements. The model also produces patterns in bond risk premia that are consistent with the empirical finding that much of the time-variation in excess bond returns accrues at times of important macroeconomic data releases.

The audit trail for municipal bonds shows the dealer network has a core-periphery structure. Central dealers are more efficient at matching buyers and sellers than peripheral dealers, which shortens intermediation chains and speeds up trading. Investors face a tradeoff between execution speed and cost. Central dealers provide immediacy by pre-arranging fewer trades and holding larger inventory; however, trading costs increase strongly with dealer centrality. Investors with strong liquidity need trade with central dealers and at times of market-wide illiquidity. Central dealers thus serve as liquidity providers of last resort. Tables, Figures, References.

The model can account for occasional financial crises as a result of the nonlinearity induced by the constraint. Banks' precautionary equity issuance makes financial crises infrequent events occurring along with 'regular' business cycle fluctuations. An episode of capital inflows and rapid credit expansion, triggered by low country interest rates, leads banks to endogenously decrease the rate of equity issuance, contributing to an increase in the likelihood of a crisis.

In the economy with policy inertia, increased inflation and output due to higher government spending during a recession speed up the return of the policy rate to the steady state after the recession ends. This in turn dampens the expansionary effects of the government spending during the recession via expectations. Tables, Figures, Appendixes, References.

In an economy with occasionally binding ZLB constraints, the anticipation of future ZLB episodes creates a trade-off between inflation and output stabilization. As a consequence, inflation systematically falls below target even when the policy rate is above zero. A conservative central banker mitigates this deflationary bias away from the ZLB, improving allocations both at and away from the ZLB through expectations. Tables, Appendixes, References.

AN - 1684419787; 2011-817097 AB - Quantifies the effect of refinancing risk on euro area money market spreads, a major factor driving spreads during the financing crisis. With the advent of the crisis, market participants' perception of their ability to refinance over a given period of time changed radically. As a result, borrowers preferred to obtain funding for longer tenors, and lenders were willing to provide funding for shorter tenors. Results suggest that refinancing risk affects the spread significantly across time, albeit in a largely varying manner. Central bank interventions have reduced the spreads as well as the effect of refinancing risk on them. Tables, Figures, References.

It exploits these data to assess how offshoring affects domestic firm-level aggregate employment, output, wages, and productivity. Consistent with heterogenous firm models where offshoring involves a fixed cost, this study finds that the average offshoring firm is larger and more productive than the average non-offshorer. Thus, offshoring is a strong substitute for domestic activity in this large sample of offshoring events. Tables, Figures, Appendixes, References.

Although current account balances should not respond to a downturn that is uniform across countries, one that hits countries with current account deficits harder than those with surpluses might result in a decline in the global balance. This paper quantifies the cyclical portion of the current account balance for 35 countries using estimates of the severity of the cycle relative to that of their trading partners.

A 2006 reform introduced by the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) reduced the amount of public information available to Pakistani banks about a firm's creditworthiness. After the reform, the SBP stopped providing the aggregate group-level information. The authors propose a model with differentially informed banks and adverse selection, which generates predictions on how this reform is expected to affect a bank's willingness to lend.

Using two empirical illustrations consisting of the Smets and Wouters model and a larger news shock model we show that the SMC algorithm is better suited for multimodal and irregular posterior distributions than the widely used random walk Metropolis-Hastings algorithm. We find that a more diffuse prior for the Smets and Wouters model improves its marginal data density and that a slight modification of the prior for the news shock model leads to drastic changes in the posterior inference about the importance of news shocks for fluctuations in hours worked. Unlike standard Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) techniques; the SMC algorithm is well suited for parallel computing. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. Copyright John Wiley & Sons.

Specifically, we proxy the missing sector through a small set of factors that feed into the structural shocks of the DSGE model to create correlated disturbances. We estimate the factor structure by either matching impulse responses of the augmented DSGE model to those generated by an auxiliary model or by using Bayesian techniques.

Using a semiparametric variant of the methodology in Breeden and Litzenberger (1978), the authors investigate the fit and smoothness of distributions derived from alternative PDF estimation methods and develop a set of robust summary statistics. Using PDFs estimated around episodes of high geopolitical tensions, oil supply disruptions, and macroeconomic data releases, the study explores the extent to which oil price movements are expected or unexpected, and whether agents believe these movements to be persistent or temporary.

The study tracks the dynamics of bank loan share ownership in the secondary market using data from the Shared National Credit Program, a credit register of syndicated bank loans administered by US regulators. It analyzes the 2007-2009 financial crisis as a market-wide liquidity shock and control for loan demand using a loan-year fixed effects approach. Banks with greater reliance on wholesale funding at the onset of the crisis were more likely to exit loan syndicates during the crisis. Tables, Appendixes, References.

The study analyzes the behavior of firms' pricing decisions in four different experimental economies. There is inertia in price setting; firms integrate wage increases into their prices, and there is evidence of adaptive behavior in price-setting in the laboratory economy. The hazard function for price changes, however, is upward-sloping, in contrast to most empirical studies. Tables, Appendixes, References.

In particular, the country interest rate predicted by these models is acyclical or procyclical, whereas it is countercyclical in the data. This paper proposes and estimates a small open economy model of the emerging-market business cycle in which a time-varying country risk premium emerges endogenously. The paper finds the predicted contribution of nonstationary productivity shocks in explaining output variations falls between the extremely high and extremely low values reported in the literature.

It shows that workers in small firms are more likely to become unemployed during the 2007-2009 financial crisis if they work in industries with high external financing needs. There are very similar results for the 1990-1991 recession, but not for the 2001 recession, where only the former was associated with a reduction in loan supply. These findings further support the credit constraints hypothesis. Tables, Figures, Appendixes, References.

Using survey data on inflation expectations, it shows that demographic groups with greater dispersion in experienced inflation also disagree more about future inflation. These results can be rationalized from the perspective of an imperfect information model in which idiosyncratic inflation experience serves as a signal about aggregate inflation. These empirical regularities pose a challenge to several other popular models of the expectations formation process of households. Tables, References.

Homeowners with debt service ratios in the highest quartile have MPCs as high as 0.14 compared with negligible responses for those with low debt service ratios. This indicates a strong role for collateral effects, as opposed to pure wealth effects, in driving the relationship between home values and spending. Tables, Figures, References.

Families with student loans in 2007 had higher levels of financial distress than families without such loans and were more susceptible to financial distress during the early stages of the Great Recession. Education loans enable graduates to improve their employment and earnings prospects: On average, families with education loans in the 2007-2009 SCF saw higher income growth between surveys. Families without a degree, but with education debt, drive much of the correlations between financial distress and education loans. Tables, Figures, Appendixes, References.

Therefore, under limited deposit insurance, some consumers open accounts with different banks to achieve higher or full deposit insurance coverage. This study compares three regimes of deposit insurance: No deposit insurance, unlimited deposit insurance, and limited deposit insurance. It demonstrates that limited deposit insurance weakens competition among banks and reduces total welfare relative to no or unlimited deposit insurance. Tables, Figures, Appendixes, References.

It presents the micro-structure of the Bitcoin transaction process and highlights the use of cryptography for the purposes of transaction security and distributed maintenance of a ledger. Using publicly available transaction-level data, this study examines patterns of general usage together with usage by Satoshi Dice, the largest online gambling service using Bitcoin as the method of payment. The analysis suggests that less than 50% of all bitcoins in circulation are used in transactions. Tables, Figures, References.

The analysis demonstrates that the Federal Reserve's suite of policy tools including interest on excess reserves (IOER), overnight and term reverse repurchase agreements, and term deposits should allow the Federal Reserve to raise the level of short-term interest rates at the appropriate time. The model also demonstrates that these tools could be used in different ways to achieve any given desired level of interest rates. Tables, Figures, Appendixes, References.

Evidence from Loan Covenants AN - 1684419959; 2011-817435 AB - Using a regression discontinuity design, this study provides evidence that incentive conflicts between firms and their creditors have a large impact on employees. There are sharp and substantial employment cuts following loan covenant violations, when creditors exercise their ex post control rights. The negative impact of violations on employment is stronger for firms that face more severe agency and financing frictions and those whose employees have weaker bargaining power. The analysis establishes an endogeneity-free link between financing frictions and employment and offers direct evidence that binding financial covenants are an important amplification mechanism of economic downturns.

Country adoption is exceptionally fast while firm usage increases more slowly. To guide the empirical investigation, the study builds a multi-country trade model with endogenous adoption of a new transportation technology that is consistent with these facts. Testing empirically the predictions of the model finds that (1) usage of containerization increases with firms' fixed costs and the size and average income of the container network and (2) adoption depends on expected future usage, adoption costs, and trade with the US, the first and largest user of containerization.

This study shows that since the crisis, it is mostly the foreign financial sector that appears to have met US demand for safe and liquid investment assets by expanding its supply of debt securities. These findings have led to a decline in home bias in the US financial bond portfolio that the researchers are able to document for the first time. Tables, Figures, Appendixes, References.

Two alternative methods for approximating the option exercise boundary are introduced: one based on the multivariate Taylor series expansion, and the other based on duration‐ ;matched zero-coupon bond approximation. Applied to affine models and quadratic-Gaussian models, these methods are found to give accurate swaption prices.

It shows that incorporating a Tobit-like specification obtains consistent estimators. Linking the switching of the Taylor rule coefficients to the switching of the coefficients of an auxiliary uncensored Markov-switching regression improves the identification of an otherwise unidentifiable prevalent monetary regime. The chosen auxiliary Markov-switching regression is a fiscal policy rule where federal revenues react to debt and the output gap. There is evidence of policy co-movements with debt-stabilizing fiscal policy more likely accompanying active monetary policy, and vice versa. Tables, Figures, Appendixes, References.

The model generates a distribution of bank sizes arising from differences in banks' ability to generate revenue from loans and from occasionally binding capital and liquidity constraints. The liquidity requirement leads to a steady-state decrease of about 3% in the amount of loans made, an increase in banks' holdings of securities of at least 6%, a fall in the interest rate on securities of a few basis points, and a decline in output of about 0.3%.

It proposes a new measure of options-based systemic risk called downside correlation risk premium (DCRP), which quantifies the compensation investors demand for being exposed to the risk of large correlated drops in bank stock prices. It finds that, irrespective of their characteristics, intervention announcements significantly reduce DCRP in the US while for the euro area, interventions were largely unsuccessful at reducing DCRP.

Using a quarterly panel of young adults' credit histories, and controlling for age, county, and quarter fixed effects, and local demographic characteristics, unemployment rates, and house prices, it estimates the relationship between current period debt and subsequent decisions to co-reside with a parent. The results indicate that indebtedness -- as measured by average loan balances, declining credit scores, and delinquency on accounts -- increases flows into parental coresidence. Moreover, after moving in, delinquency and low credit scores increase time spent in co-residence. Tables, Figures, Appendixes, References.

First, an alignment of margins to volatility can amplify procyclicality, leading to a build-up of excess leverage in good times and a forced deleverage in bad times. Second, competition among central counterparties (CCPs) can result in lower margin levels in order to attract more trading volume, which is referred to as a 'race to the bottom.' This study empirically analyzes the determinants of margin changes by using a data set of various futures margins from Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) Group. Tables, Figures, References.

The sources of this decline have been widely debated among academics and policymakers, with some arguing that the participation rate is depressed due to weak labor demand while others argue that the decline was inevitable due to structural forces such as the aging of the population. This paper uses a variety of approaches to assess reasons for the decline in participation and finds that much -- but not all -- of the decline in the labor force participation rate since 2007 is structural in nature.

This report shows that vehicle purchases typically account for an outsized share of the contraction in economic activity during a recession, in part because a concurrent tightening in auto lending conditions makes car purchases less affordable for many households. It explores the link between lending conditions and vehicle purchases with a novel gauge of credit supply conditions -- household perceptions of vehicle financing conditions as measured on the Reuters/University of Michigan Survey of Consumers.

It found that long-term vacancy is less than 2% of all nonseasonal housing units and accounts for only one quarter of the aggregate increase in nonseasonal vacancy from 2001 to 2011 -- Thus, at the national level, excess supply is considerably less extensive than indicated by traditional measures of vacancy. However, the stock of long-term vacant housing is concentrated in a small number of neighborhoods that do have high long-term vacancy rates. Tables, Figures, Appendixes, References.

The model features two-sided heterogeneity in the labor market: high- and low-skilled workers are matched in a frictional labor market with high- and low-tech firms. When high-skilled workers choose to accept a less desirable job in the low-tech industry, it is actually beneficial for the labor market in the country doing the offshoring. Mismatch dampens both the increase in the aggregate unemployment rate and the decline in aggregate wages caused by shifting domestic production abroad. Tables, Figures, References.

During the three years between the beginning of the 2010 and 2013 surveys, real GDP grew at an annual rate of 2.1%, the civilian unemployment rate fell from 9.9% to 7.5%, and the annual rate of change in the consumer price index averaged 2.3%. Although aggregate economic performance improved substantially relative to the period between the 2007 and 2010 surveys, the effect on incomes for different types of families was far from uniform. The improvements in economic activity along with changes in house and corporate equity prices combined to effectively stabilize average and median family net worth (wealth) between 2010 and 2013 after both measures fell dramatically between 2007 and 2010. The CoreLogic national house price index increased at an annual rate of 2.0% between early 2010 and early 2013, just below the rate of consumer price inflation.

The event triggering the recession has the workings of a redistribution shock: a small sector of the economy -- borrowers who use their home as collateral -- defaults on their loans. When banks hold little equity in excess of regulatory requirements, the losses require them to react immediately, either by recapitalizing or by deleveraging -- which transforms the initial shock into a credit crunch and amplifies and propagates the shock to the real economy.

Using a hand-collected dataset on retirement investment options, it shows that poorly-performing funds are less likely to be removed from and more likely to be added to a 401(k) menu if they are affiliated with the plan trustee. There is no evidence that plan participants undo this affiliation bias through their investment choices. The subsequent performance of poorly-performing affiliated funds indicates that these trustee decisions are not information driven. Tables, Figures, References.

Unlike government student loans, the terms on student loans in the private market are based on credit status. This study quantifies the importance of the private market for student loans and of credit status for college investment in a general equilibrium heterogeneous life-cycle economy. It finds that students with good credit status invest in more college education (compared to those with bad credit status) and that this effect is more pronounced for low-income students.

This paper generates time-varying uncertainty endogenously, through precautionary saving dynamics. Precautionary motives prescribe that, in bad times, next period's consumption should be very sensitive to news. This time-varying sensitivity results in time-varying consumption volatility, with production making this channel visible, and external habit preferences amplifying it. An estimated model featuring this channel quantitatively accounts for excess return and dividend predictability regressions -- And it also matches the first two moments of excess equity returns, the risk-free rate, and the second moments of consumption, output, and investment.

Using Kalman Filter techniques, this study estimates the risk exposure dynamics of a large sample of live and dead equity long-short hedge funds to develop a measure of activeness for each hedge fund. The results show that there exists a nonlinear relationship between activeness and performance. Using raw returns as a measure of performance, it is found that more active funds outperform the less active ones -- However, when risk adjusted returns are used to measure performance, activeness is inversely related to returns.

Using a log-linearized pricing identity and a vector autoregression applied to micro-level data from 1973 to 2011, this study finds that the expected credit loss component and the excess return component each explains about half of the variance of the credit spreads. Unlike the market-level findings in Gilchrist and Zakrajsek (2012), at the firm level, the expected credit loss is volatile and affects the firms' investment decisions more than the expected excess returns.

Integration of banking across localities reduces the degree of local monopoly power of financial intermediaries. The economy that implements this form of deregulation experiences increased producer entry, real exchange rate appreciation, and a current account deficit. The foreign economy experiences a long-run increase in GDP and consumption. Bank market integration thus contributes to moderation of firm-level and aggregate output volatility.

It found evidence that a household's income rank -- its position in the income distribution relative to its close neighbors -- is positively associated with its expenditures on high status cars, its level of indebtedness, as well as the riskiness of the household's portfolio.

This study shows that debit interchange fee income fell for treated banks, leading to a fall in noninterest income; banks only partially offset this loss with deposit fees, and treated banks neither reduced costs nor strategically avoided the 10-billion-dollar threshold.

This study provides a formal analysis of this question with special attention to the possible role of net oil price increases in amplifying the transmission of oil price shocks. The researchers quantify the conditional recessionary effect of oil price shocks in the net oil price increase model for all episodes of net oil price increases since the mid-1970s.

To rule them out, either the set of permissible lotteries must be restricted (to exclude, at a minimum, "fat-tailed" distributions such as that underlying the St. Petersburg Paradox and power laws that are popular in models of climate change), or the utility function must be bounded. This note explores the second approach and proposes a number of tractable specifications leading to utility functions that are bounded both from above and below. This property is intimately related to that of increasing relative risk aversion as first hypothesized by Arrow (1965).

The social welfare implications of this segment of the financial services industry are quite controversial. One aspect of the controversy involves the location decisions of AFSPs. This study examines the determinants of the locations of three types of AFSPs: payday lenders, pawnshops, and check-cashing outlets. Using county-level data for the entire country, I find that the number of AFSP outlets per capita is significantly related to demographic characteristics of the county population, measures of the population's creditworthiness, and the stringency of state laws and regulations that govern AFSPs.

It finds that CDS-based loans are associated with lower interest rates, both at origination and during the life of the loan. The results indicate that banks simplify the covenant structure of market-based pricing loans, suggesting that the decline in the cost of bank debt is partially explained by a reduction in monitoring costs. Market-based pricing, therefore, besides reducing the cost of bank debt, may also have adverse consequences resulting from the decline in bank monitoring. Tables, Figures, References.

In particular, all evidence suggesting that poor financial condition decreases cooperation comes from the airline industry during periods of high idle capacity. Using a unique data set of aggregate airfare hikes and a more recent low-idle-capacity period, this study finds that poor financial condition is positively associated with product market cooperation. Although financially weak airlines appear to value the immediate cash flows of increased cooperation, only liquidity-constrained firms seem willing to incur the cost of cooperative attempts.

Large loans outstanding began to rebound by the third quarter of 2010 and essentially returned to their previous growth trajectory while small loans outstanding continued to decline. Anecdotal evidence suggests that firms used trade credit to smooth over cash flow problems. The current paper examines recent trends in trade credit use by small businesses based on a recent poll done by the Credit Research Foundation. The results highlight the importance of business-to-business credit for small businesses. Tables, Figures.

Understanding of the factors driving this volatility in the stock of debt is hampered by a lack of data on mortgage flows. Using comprehensive, individual-level panel data on consumer liabilities, this study estimates detailed mortgage inflows and outflows. During the boom, inflows from real estate investors tripled, far outpacing growth from other segments such as first-time homebuyers. During the bust, a collapse in inflows has been the major driver. Inflow declines reflect, in part, a dramatic decline in first-time homebuying. Tables, Figures, Appendixes, References.

It finds that inflation is associated with significantly lower growth only after it reaches about 12%, which is notably lower than the comparable estimate obtained from a threshold model. The results also suggest that models with restrictive functional form assumptions tend to underestimate marginal effects of inflation on economic growth, and significant variation in the effect of inflation on growth across countries and over time is documented.

Using confidential firm-level data, this study shows that financial constraints reduced employment growth in small, relative to large, firms by 4.8 to 10.5 percentage points. The effect of financial constraints is robust to controlling for aggregate demand and is particularly strong in small young firms. This study shows in a heterogeneous firms model, with endogenous firm entry and financial constraints, that a large financial shock results in a long-lasting recession caused by a 'missing generation' of entrants.

Using the Rothschild-Stiglitz approach to model credit markets under asymmetric information, legal restrictions are shown to reduce the use and attractiveness of mortgage credit. Consistent with model predictions, empirical results indicate that originations of regulated high-cost mortgages were significantly less than predicted in states with more restrictive laws. The differences between predicted and actual originations of high-cost mortgages in states with less restrictive laws were not significant. These differences were also not significant for non-high-cost originations across all states. Thus, credit regulation was differentially associated with reduction in originations of high-cost mortgages, and non-high-cost lending did not consistently expand in areas where high-cost mortgages were restricted.

Forced sales of the intermediary's assets could consume liquidity, depressing the liquidation value of the assets of healthy intermediaries and causing contagious runs. These financial fire sales can both cause, and exacerbate, real fire sales, the focus of previous studies. This paper investigates the relevance of financial fire sales using new datasets covering bank failures during the farm depression in the US just before the Great Depression, as well as bank failures during the Great Depression.

In January 2006, they issued guidance that required banks with specific high concentrations in those asset classes to tighten managerial controls. This paper shows that banks with concentrations in excess of the thresholds set in the guidance subsequently experienced slower growth in their CRE and CLD portfolios than can be explained by changes in the health of their balance sheets and economic conditions.

The present paper examines the evolution of Federal Reserve monetary policy from the mid-1930s through the 1950s in an effort to understand better the apparent success of policy in the 1950s.

These employment relationships can be beneficial because they allow high-skilled individuals to more rapidly transition out of unemployment. They come at the cost, however, in the form of lower wage compensation. Moreover, an externality arises as high-skilled individuals do not take into account the effect that their search activity in the market for low-tech jobs has on low-skilled individuals. This paper presents a tractable general equilibrium model featuring mismatch employment and on-the-job search to articulate these tradeoffs. Tables, Figures, References.

Given secular increases in job utility, work hours per capita can remain approximately constant over time even if the income effect of higher wages on labor supply exceeds the substitution effect. In addition, secular improvements in job utility can be substantial relative to welfare gains from ordinary technological progress. These two implications are connected by an equation flowing from optimal hours choices: improvements in job utility that have a significant effect on labor supply tend to have large welfare effects.

The majority of FTS events are country-specific not global. The financial, basic materials, and industrial industries under-perform in FTS episodes, but the telecom industry outperforms. Money market instruments, corporate bonds, and commodity prices (with the exception of metals) face abnormal negative returns in FTS episodes. Hedge funds display negative FTS betas, after controlling for standard risk factors. Liquidity deteriorates; both economic growth and inflation decline right after and up to a year following a FTS spell. Tables.

The author estimates the response of various measures of manufacturing activity using panel regression methods across roughly 80 industries that allow each industry's response to vary with its energy intensity. These estimates suggest that the fall in the price of natural gas since 2006 is associated with a 2% to 3% increase in activity for the entire manufacturing sector, with much larger effects of 30% or more for the most energy intensive industries.

By analyzing credible plans in a sticky-price economy with occasionally binding zero lower bound constraints, the study finds that if contractionary shocks hit the economy with sufficient frequency, it can. In the best credible plan, if the central bank reneges on the promise of low policy rates, it will lose reputation and the private sector will not believe such promises in future recessions.

Theory implies a close relationship between relative consumption growth, and consumption and capital income tax rate differentials. The study finds strong empirical evidence for this relationship. Idiosyncratic output fluctuations account for the majority of cross country consumption growth variability, but trends in tax differentials are informative about the dynamic evolution of international risk sharing -- In particular, adjusting for capital taxes reveals an intuitive positive relationship between financial connectedness and risk sharing that is absent in baseline measures.

We find that the buy-side research has investment value for a one-year horizon, and the analysts producing this research exhibit differential ability that tends to persist over time. The buy‐ ;side research strongly influences trades made by the company's funds, especially when it coveys information that is independent of the fund managers' own information, when it is produced by buy-side analysts with good track records, and when the underlying stocks have little sell-side coverage. The influence of sell-side research is concentrated primarily in stocks not followed by buy-side analysts and in funds with low overall buy-side coverage. The company's funds that rely more heavily on buy-side research generate superior performance.

An externality from greenhouse gas emissions damages the economy's capital stock. The study assumes that the mapping from climate change to damages is subject to uncertainty and uses robust control theory techniques to study efficiency and optimal policy. It obtains a sharp analytical solution for the implied environmental externality and characterizes dynamic optimal taxation. A small increase in the concern about model uncertainty can cause a significant drop in optimal fossil fuel use. The introduction of uncertainty matters qualitatively and quantitatively.

This study demonstrates fundamental differences across banks without foreign affiliates versus those with foreign affiliates. Among the nonglobal banks, cross-sectional differences in response to liquidity risk depend on the banks' shares of core deposit funding: Differences across global banks are associated with ex ante liquidity management strategies as reflected in internal borrowing across the global organization.

AN - 1684418571; 2011-817418 AB - Shows that uncertainty about fiscal policy can cause large declines in consumption, investment, and output when the zero lower bound (ZLB) binds, but has modest effects when the monetary authority is not constrained by the ZLB. This report explores uncertainty about the level of government spending and uncertainty about tax rates on consumption, wages, capital income, and investment. The effects of fiscal policy uncertainty are largest when the nominal interest rate is on the cusp of the ZLB, and the delaying fiscal policy uncertainty diminishes its effects only if the resolution of uncertainty occurs after ZLB no longer binds.

Long-term nominal loans are backed by collateral, the value of which depends on monetary policy. The decision to default is endogenous and depends on the relative value of the collateral to face value of the loan. Default results in foreclosure, higher borrowing costs, inefficient investment, and a decrease in total output. Pre-crisis contractionary monetary policy interacts with Fisherian debt-deflation dynamics and can increase the probability that a crisis occurs. Tables, Appendixes, References.

This report quantifies the scarcity value of Treasury collateral by estimating the impact of security-specific demand and supply factors on the repo rates of all outstanding US Treasury securities. It finds an economically and statistically significant scarcity premium. This scarcity effect is quite persistent, passes through to Treasury market prices, and explains a significant portion of the flow-effects of Large-Scale Asset Purchase (LSAP) programs, providing additional evidence for the scarcity channel of quantitative easing (QE).

This paper reviews the various ways that central banks provided emergency liquidity assistance (ELA) during the crisis and discusses issues for the design of ELA arising from that experience. In a number of ways, the emergency liquidity assistance since 2007 has largely adhered to Bagehot's dictums of lending freely against good collateral to solvent institutions at a penalty rate, but there were many exceptions to these rules.

The link between sovereigns and banks tightened as the contingent liability that the banking sector represents for the sovereign grew, as financial 'safety nets' became more common. This chapter analyzes the transmission channels between sovereigns and banks, with a focus on the effect of sovereign distress on bank solvency and financing. It then highlights the notable cost to the real economy of the close connection between sovereigns and banks and argues for breaking the 'feedback loop' between these two sectors.

Although there is some evidence consistent with UEP, this study argues that US investors may be exploiting mean reversion in underlying equity markets, rebalancing away from equity markets that recently performed well, and moving into equity markets just prior to relatively strong performance. Such behavior suggests tactical reallocations to increase returns rather than reduce risk. Tables, References.

Evidence from Changes in State R&D Tax Credits AN - 1684419621; 2011-817383 AB - Uses the staggered changes of research and development (R&D) tax credits across US states and over time as a quasi-natural experiment to examine the impact of innovation on corporate liquidity. By generating plausibly independent variation in firms' incentive to invest in R&D, it assesses the empirical importance of specific theories of the link between innovation and corporate liquidity. Firms increase (decrease) their cash to asset ratios by about one and a half percentage point when their home state increases (cuts) R&D tax credits. The analysis offers endogeneity-free evidence that innovation is a first-order driver of corporate liquidity management decisions. Tables, Figures, Appendixes, References.

To this end, it proposes a new measure, relative liquidity (RLIQ), which extracts information from a limit order book distribution and captures the level of consensus on a security's trading price. Higher liquidity provision farther away from the best quotes, relative to the rest of the book, is associated with a disagreement on the current price and followed by high volatility. The relationship is robust to the inclusion of several alternative measures. Tables, Figures, Appendixes, References.

The contribution of hedge funds to price efficiency is greater than that of other types of institutional investors, such as mutual funds or banks. However, stocks held by hedge funds experienced extreme declines in price efficiency during liquidity crises and the declines were most severe in stocks held by those connected to Lehman Brothers and those using leverage.

The study finds that banks reduce their reliance on debt finance and decrease leverage when monetary policy shocks are prevalent. A monetary policy reaction function that responds to movements in bank leverage or to movements in credit spreads can incentivize banks to increase their use of debt finance and increase leverage, ceteris paribus, increasing the riskiness of the financial sector for the real economy.

The calibrated model is used to quantify the contribution of earnings uncertainty to the changes in the key fertility indicators between steady states and highlights the important role that labor market conditions can play in determining both short-term cyclical fluctuations in fertility (such as those in the recent US data) and longer-term demographic trends (such as persistently depressed fertility rates in Southern Europe where youth unemployment rates are high and unemployment spell are very persistent).

They prove two results that have important policy implications for intermediaries that are vulnerable to runs, such as money market funds, because the preemptive runs that can be caused by the possibility of gates or fees may have damaging negative externalities.

These questions have been previously studied using structural vector autoregressions (SVARs) identified with sign and zero restrictions; and the answers have been positive and definite in both cases. This study shows that current implementation of these techniques does not respect the agnosticism of the theory and provides an alternative and efficient algorithm that does not introduce any additional sign restriction, hence preserving the agnosticism of the theory.

These findings raise a question regarding the economic significance of the traditional 'wait-and-see' effect of uncertainty shocks and point to financial distortions as the main mechanism through which fluctuations in uncertainty affect macroeconomic outcomes. The relative importance of these two mechanisms is analyzed. Tables, Figures, Appendixes, References.

Pricing behavior has long been thought central to explaining this response: if local prices do not respond to exchange rates, neither will trade flows. Sticky prices and strategic complementarities in price setting generate sluggish responses, and they are necessary to match newly available international micro price data. Using trade flow data, this study tests models capable of replicating these trade price data and find a trade response to exchange rates stronger than found in the data, with little to no support in the data.

This study examines the validity of using likelihood based estimation in this context by comparing the small sample properties of a Bayesian estimator to those of GMM. The Bayesian estimators are demonstrated to have favorable bias and efficiency properties. Tables, Figures, References.

In the model, the monopolistic rating agency's choice of price and quality leads to an endogenous threshold separating low-quality bank-dependent issuers from higher-quality issuers with access to public debt. The analysis suggests that strategic behavior by the rating agency in an issuer-pays setting dampens the influence of macroeconomic shocks and explains the use of informative unsolicited credit ratings to prevent unrated bond issues, particularly during good times. Additionally, the controversial issuer-pays model of ratings leads to more efficient outcomes than investor-pays alternatives. Tables, Figures, References.

However, empirical evidence is mixed. This analysis demonstrates that the typical approach, using national data, is incapable of discriminating the inflationary pressure exerted by short and long-term unemployment because the series are highly correlated, making inference difficult given the short-span of data used in Phillips-curve estimation.

AN - 1684420091; 2011-817407 AB - Community banks have long played an important role in the US economy, providing loans and other financial services to households and small businesses within their local markets. In recent years, technological and legal developments, as well as changes in the business strategies of larger banks and non-bank financial service providers, have purportedly made it more difficult for community banks to attract and retain customers, and hence to survive. This paper uses data from 1992 through 2011 to examine the relationships between community bank profitability and various characteristics of the banks and the local markets in which they operate.

This study uses common methodologies for the four central banks, with daily and intradaily asset price data. It emphasizes the use of intradaily data to identify the causal effect of monetary policy surprises. These policies are effective in easing financial conditions when policy rates are stuck at the zero lower bound, apparently largely by reducing term premia. Tables, Figures, References.

The author uses the fees charged by chartering authorities to establish a causal effect from switching on ratings. Banks receive more favorable ratings after they change charters, an effect that is large for both national and state charters. In addition, controlling for bank ratings, banks that switch charters fail more often than others. These results suggest that banks can arbitrage ratings by switching charters and are consistent with regulators competing for banks by rating incoming banks better than similar banks that they already supervise.

This paper examines the role of Brazil's government banks in preventing a recession during the 2008-2010 financial crisis. Government banks in Brazil provided more credit, which offset declines in lending by private banks. Areas in Brazil with a high share of government banks experienced increases in lending, production, and employment during the crisis compared to areas with a low share of these banks.

It finds that inflation expectations have become much better anchored over the past decade in all three countries, as a testament to the improved credibility of the central banks in these countries when it comes to keeping inflation low. That said, one-year inflation compensation in the far future displays some sensitivity to at least one macroeconomic data release per country, and long-run inflation expectations in Brazil appear to have been less well anchored than in Chile and Mexico.

This particular type of information asymmetry arises because some machines may access the information before other machines or because of randomness in relative speed. Applying a novel statistical approach to measure HFT activity through limit order book data and using a natural experiment of index inclusion, the study shows that liquidity-providing HFTs supply less liquidity to stocks that suffer more from this information asymmetry problem.

This relationship is robust to various measures of financing and productivity and strengthens as financing costs increase. This study provides evidence against a reverse-causality explanation by showing that this relationship arises from the component of TFP that is outside the information set of the firm. These findings indicate that financial development supports productivity growth within firms and helps explain why economic activity remains persistently depressed following financial crisis.

The focus on demand shocks is novel in the empirical literature that uses large datasets of individual data to bridge micro price behavior and aggregate price dynamics. They find that large swings in demand have, at best, modest effects on the level of retail prices, consistent with flat short- to medium-term supply curves. Tables, Figures, Appendixes, References.

Fiscal and forward guidance multipliers can be implausibly large. Moreover, the sticky-price model implies that positive supply shocks, such as an increase in productivity, will lower production, and that increased price flexibility can exacerbate such a decline in output (as well as amplifying the effects of other shocks). These results suggest caution in drawing policy lessons from a single, sticky-price framework. Strategies akin to nominal-income targeting can enhance the ability of policymakers to affect demand in sticky-price and sticky-information models. Tables, Figures, References.

One type of credit mimics credit cards in the US with a potential bankruptcy filing under Chapter 7; the other mimics student loans in the US with a default option resembling Chapter 13. In the student loan market, the government sets the interest rate and chooses a wage garnishment to pay for the cost associated with default. The study proves the existence of a steady-state equilibrium and characterizes the circumstances under which a household defaults on each of these loans. Tables, Figures, References.

The Federal Reserve's accumulation of MBS and Treasury securities lowered MBS yields and mortgage rates by more than what would have been suggested by changes in market expectations alone, suggesting that portfolio rebalancing effects of LSAPs are an important consideration for monetary policy transmission. The estimates also suggest that the Federal Reserve must hold a substantial market share of agency MBS or of Treasury securities to significantly lower MBS yields and in turn significantly lower mortgage rates.

Traditional banks have a stable source of cheap funding, while shadow banks are subject to runs and fire-sale losses. These different funding models in turn influence the kinds of assets that traditional banks and shadow banks hold in equilibrium: traditional banks have a comparative advantage at holding fixed-income assets that have only modest fundamental risk, but are relatively illiquid and have substantial transitory price volatility.

Notably, such a relationship prevails even after various series of professional analysts' belief dispersions are considered. Consistent with a causal effect, such a relationship is most pronounced for belief dispersion among individuals who are most likely to own stocks and for trading volume of stocks that are most visible to household investors.

Immediately following the proposed acquisition, Prosperity Bank would be merged into Ameris's subsidiary bank, Ameris Bank, Moultrie, a state nonmember bank. Notice of the proposal, affording interested persons an opportunity to submit comments, has been published in the Federal Register (78 Federal Register 35033 (2013). The time for submitting comments has expired, and the Board has considered the proposal and all comments received in light of the factors set forth in section 3 of the BHC Act. On consummation of this proposal, Ameris would become the 215th largest depository organization in the US, with total consolidated assets of approximately $3.6 billion, which represent less than 1% of the total amount of assets of insured depository institutions in the US.

Using no-arbitrage term structure models, this study shows that TIPS yields contained liquidity premiums as large as 100 basis points when TIPS were first issued, reflecting the newness of the instrument, and up to 350 basis points during the recent financial crisis, reflecting common funding constraints affecting a variety of financial markets. Ignoring TIPS liquidity premiums is shown to significantly distort the information content of TIPS yields and TIPS breakeven inflation rates, two widely-used empirical proxies for real rates and expected inflation.

The authors' index is based on the repeat-sales approach but for recent months uses listings data, which are available essentially in real time, instead of transactions data, which become available with significant lags. The index methodology is motivated by a simple model of the home-selling problem that shows how listings variables such as the list price and marketing time help predict the final sales price.

Until the late 1980s, a stable relationship between monetary aggregates and the opportunity cost of holding money -- measured as the spread between the three-month Treasury bill yield and the deposit-weighted average return on M2 assets -- existed, and played an integral role in the conduct of monetary policy. Possibly, the more recent shifts could be due to the effects of regulatory and monetary policy changes rather than a fundamental shift in the relationship between money and opportunity cost.

This study uses detailed data on over 2.7 million mortgages to provide novel estimates of the interest rate elasticity of mortgage demand. The authors predict the changes in mortgage demand implied by past and proposed future increases to the guarantee fees charged by Fannie and Freddie and conclude that these increases would directly reduce the dollar volume of new mortgage originations by well under 1%.

This study presents a tractable real business cycle model in which firms experience idiosyncratic shocks, to which managers are at least partially exposed; the distribution of these shocks is time-varying and stochastic. The path for aggregate quantities, the price of physical capital, and the equity premium are the same as in a model without idiosyncratic risk, but with time-preference shocks.

Using diff-in-diff analysis, this study estimates the 'local spending' and the 'local tax' multipliers -- according to the composition of the stimulus -- controlling for the negative supply shock generated by the event. The stimulus prevented a fall in economic activity; and the multiplicative effects of tax cuts are estimated much higher than those of spending. The results underline the importance of countercyclical fiscal interventions and suggest the most effective composition of such a stimulus. Tables, Figures, Appendixes.

Summary statistics show an increasing number of small business loan applications over time. Beginning in 2010 -- when consistent measures of loan purpose were recorded for all applications -- loan applications for small businesses were on average less likely than loans for other purposes to have been funded. However, logistic regression results that control for the quality of the application show that, holding all else constant, applications for a loan for a small business were almost twice as likely to have been funded than other loans.

Using a panel of credit report data, this study examines young adults in three states where personal financial education mandates were implemented in 2007: Georgia, Idaho, and Texas. It finds that young people who are in school after the implementation of a financial education requirement have higher relative credit scores and lower relative delinquency rates than those in control states.

The aim of this article is to evaluate the forecasting performance of the Central Bank of Brazil Survey and to compare it with the mechanical forecasts based on state-of-the-art nowcasting techniques. Results indicate that institutional forecasts perform as well as model-based forecasts. The latter finding suggests that, on the one hand, judgmental forecasters do not have computational limitations and are able to incorporate very quickly new information in a way that is as efficient as a machine.

It identifies these innovations with macroeconomic news, defined as differences between the actual releases and their market expectations. Macroeconomic news explains about one-third of the low frequency (quarterly) fluctuations of long-term bond yields. When focusing on the high frequency (daily) movements, this share decreases to one-tenth. This result is due to the fact that macro news have a persistent effect on the yield curve: Non-fundamental factors, instead, substantially influence the day-to-day movements of bond yields, but their effects are shorter-living and mean-reverting.

The paper shows that (1) While the Great Inflation was driven by bad luck, the Great Moderation is mostly due to better institutions; (2) The slowdown in credit spreads is driven by an easier access to credit, while a higher exposure to financial risk determines the immoderation of balance sheet variables; and (3) Financial shocks arise as relevant drivers of US business cycle fluctuations.

The average welfare losses due to the Great Recession for agents alive at the time of the shock are notably smaller in an economy with Social Security relative to an economy without a Social Security program. Moreover, Social Security is particularly effective at mitigating the welfare losses for agents who are poorer, less productive, or older at the time of the shock. Tables, Figures, References.

The authors argue that on-the-job training, being complementary to formal education, is the reason for this pattern. Using a search and matching model with endogenous separations, they find that investments in match-specific human capital reduce the outside option of workers, implying less incentives to separate.

This study uses county-level data to examine the effect of bank failures and resolutions on local economies. Using quasi-experimental techniques as well as cross-sectional variation in bank failures, this study shows that recent bank failures lead to lower income and compensation growth, higher poverty rates, and lower employment. Additionally, the structure of bank resolution appears to be important. Tables, Figures, References.

This study examines two methods of modeling the ZIRP in DSGE models: the perfect foresight rational expectations model and the Markov regime-switching model. The author argues the regime-switching model proposed is more appropriate to assess the effectiveness of the ZIRP, which is effective in stimulating the economy. Tables, Figures, References.

For the ZLB period, the authors identify two policy surprises: changes in the 2-year Treasury yield around policy announcements and changes in the 10-year Treasury yield that are orthogonal to those in the 2-year yield. The efficacy of unconventional policy in lowering real borrowing costs is comparable to that of conventional policy, in that it implies a complete pass-through of policy-induced movements in Treasury yields to comparable-maturity private yields.

Adopting the mean-variance decisionmaking model of Maccheroni, Marinacci, and Ruffino (2013a), it derives explicit demands for assets and formulates a robust version of the two-fund separation theorem. Upon market clearing, all investors hold ambiguous assets in the same relative proportions as the assets' market values. The resulting uncertainty-return tradeoff is a robust security market line in which the ambiguous return on an asset is measured by its beta (systematic ambiguity). A simple example on portfolio performance measurement illustrates the importance of writing ambitious, robust asset-pricing models. Tables, References.

Card issuers have responded to the changing economic conditions and regulatory environment by altering the prices and terms offered on credit cards, the size of credit lines made available to cardholders, and the marketing of and access to their products. This article examines consumers' behavior, experiences, and attitudes with regard to credit cards in the aftermath of these economic and regulatory changes. Much of the data for this article are from a Federal Reserve-sponsored nationwide consumer survey conducted in February 2012 by the Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan Surveys of Consumers. Overall, about one-fourth of cardholders surveyed in 2012 reported having an adverse experience related to credit cards in the previous year, such as having an application for a credit card turned down, receiving a lower credit limit than requested, or experiencing an increase in interest rates or fees.

This study estimates that potential GDP is currently about 7% below the trajectory it appeared to be on prior to 2007. A significant portion of the recent damage to the supply side of the economy plausibly was endogenous to the weakness in aggregate demand -- contrary to the conventional view that policymakers must simply accommodate themselves to aggregate supply conditions.

These changes reflected both a response to changes in economists' understanding of the most effective way to implement monetary policy and a response to specific challenges posed by the financial crisis and its aftermath, particularly the effective lower bound on nominal interest rates.

Industries where the threat of tariff hikes declines the most experience more severe employment losses along with larger increases in the value of imports from China and the number of firms engaged in China-US trade. These results are robust to other potential explanations of the employment loss -- Also, US employment trends differ from those in the EU, where there was no change in policy.

The study extends the literature on rare disasters by allowing for two sources of uncertainty: (1) the lack of historical data results in unknown parameters for the disaster process and (2) the disaster takes time to unfold and is not directly observable. The model generates time variation in the risk premium through Bayesian updating of agents' beliefs regarding the likelihood and severity of disaster realization. The model accounts for the level and volatility of US equity returns and generates predictability in returns. Tables, Figures, References.

One purpose of this article is to describe mortgage market activity in 2012 and in prior years using the HMDA data. In addition to the review of the 2012 HMDA data, this article presents the results of a first look at a new data set composed of HMDA records matched to borrowers' credit records. One of the article's findings is that the number of mortgage originations reported in the HMDA data for 2012 increased by about 2.7 million to 9.8 million, or 38%, from 2011, driven by a 54% increase in the number of refinance loans. Another finding is that the credit scores of black and Hispanic-white mortgage borrowers at the time of loan origination tend to be lower, and their subsequent delinquency rates higher, compared with those of Asian and non-Hispanic white borrowers.

This paper shows that repo's exemption from stay alters firms' financing and investment decisions ex ante. Fire sales arise endogenously because of limited capital available to purchase collateral posted by insolvent firms, ie, cash-in-the-market pricing. In contrast, when repo is subject to automatic stay, secured lenders do not receive their collateral immediately, reducing the severity of a fire sale and ex-ante price distortions.

Using a portfolio approach, this study distinguishes between the two determinants of GDP growth volatility: sectoral covariances and sectoral allocations. There are three main findings: (1) The frontier has shifted due to a lower sectoral growth rate and a higher sectoral variance; 2) The distance of the economy from the frontier has decreased; (3) The US economy became more diversified across sectors after the early 1980s, shifting away from manufacturing and agriculture towards services.

The Relation between Firm Age, Employee Age, and Growth AN - 1537585978; 2011-582689 AB - Young firms disproportionately employ young workers, controlling for firm size, industry, geography, and time. The same positive correlation between young firms and young employees holds for new hires. On average, young employees in young firms earn higher wages than young employees in older firms. Further, young employees disproportionately join young firms with greater innovation potential and that exhibit higher growth, conditional on survival. An increase in the regional supply of young workers is positively related to the rate of new firm creation, especially in high tech industries, suggesting a causal link between the supply of young workers and new firm creation.

This study presents a model in which firms make hiring and firing decisions in an environment of time-varying aggregate volatility and face linear adjustment costs that increase with the skill of a worker. The rise in aggregate volatility has a more pronounced impact on firms with a high share of skilled labor because their labor is more costly to adjust. Tables, Figures, References.

This study shows that a substantial, and hitherto unnoticed, factor behind both trends is a decline in the share of nonparticipants who are at the margin of participation. A lower share of marginal nonparticipants implies a lower unemployment rate, because marginal nonparticipants enter the labor force mostly through unemployment, while other nonparticipants enter the labor force mostly through employment.

Rates are downwards-flexible and upwards-sticky, and a simple menu cost model can generate this behavior. In the absence of such stickiness, depositors would have received as much as 100 billion dollars more in interest per year during periods when market rates were rising. These results also suggest that deposit rates are likely to lag increases in policy and market rates in future tightening cycles. Tables, Figures, References.

Evidence from Syndicated Loans AN - 1537585028; 2011-582680 AB - This paper examines consistency in the estimates of probability of default (PD) and loss given default (LGD) that nine large US banks assign to syndicated loans for regulatory capital purposes. Using internal bank data on loans that had PDs and LGDs assigned by more than one bank, there is substantial dispersion in these parameters. The differences in LGDs imply that, for an identical loan portfolio, the bank that sets the highest LGDs would have Basel II minimum regulatory capital twice as large as the bank that sets the lowest LGDs.

We found that the effects of these legal provisions are larger for subprime than for prime mortgages and larger for adjustable rate mortgages than for fixed rate mortgages. These results demonstrate that the effect of variation in bankruptcy exemptions and foreclosure laws is most pronounced in the most risky segments of the mortgage market, which are those that have been most affected by the continuing housing slump in the United States.

The censoring ensures that model-implied yields are constrained to be positive, but it also introduces non-linearity that renders standard bond pricing formulas inapplicable. This paper shows that the technique proposed is sufficiently fast for single-step estimation of a three-factor shadow-rate term structure model and sufficiently accurate to evaluate yields to within approximately half a basis point.

Comparing Owner Perceptions with Transaction-based Indexes AN - 1537585024; 2011-582685 AB - The boom and bust of the housing market has been a prominent feature of the household financial landscape in recent years. The exact magnitude of the house price swings depends on whether either homeowners' appraisal of home worth at two points in time or use the change in a transaction-based house price index (HPI). During the boom, owner-reported values rose much more rapidly than the HPI, and after the bust, owner-reported values fell slightly less than the HPI. Home owner-reported changes in value do not systematically diverge from local house price index changes. Tables, Figures, References.

In the two earliest-adopting states, nearly half of all students were induced into testing, and 40-45% of them earned scores high enough to qualify for selective schools. Selective college enrollment rose by 20% following implementation of the mandates, with no effect on overall attendance. It is argued that a large number of high-ability students appear to dramatically underestimate their candidacy for selective colleges, and policies aimed at reducing this information shortage may increase human capital investment for many students.

It tests the model's hypotheses using the loss of the Child Tax Credit when a child turns 17. Using this age discontinuity, the study finds that losing the credit reduces household labor income, suggesting that taxpayers misperceive the source of tax liability changes, leading to under- or over-reactions to changes in marginal tax rates.

This study uses an international sample of rated banks and finds that government support is associated with more risk taking by banks, especially prior and during the 2008-2009 financial crisis.

The main findings are (1) Global financial risk shocks explain about 20% of movements both in the country spread and in the aggregate activity in emerging economies; (2) The contribution of global risk-free interest rate shocks to macroeconomic fluctuations in emerging economies is negligible; (3) Country spread shocks explain about 15% of the business cycles in emerging economies; (4) Interdependence between economic activity and the country spread is a key mechanism through which global financial shocks are transmitted to emerging economies.

The current diversity in payday lending stems from the diverse ways in which states have regulated the industry. This paper attempts to quantify the effects that various regulatory approaches have had on lending terms and usage. Tables, Figures.

The VVIX index is a model-free, risk-neutral measure of the volatility of volatility implied by a cross section of the VIX options. An increase in the VVIX index raises the prices of tail risk hedges and lowers their subsequent returns over the next three to four weeks. The volatility of volatility risk and its associated risk premium both contribute to the forecasting power of the VVIX index, and the predictability results from the integrated volatility of volatility, not volatility jumps.

Informational frictions regarding the observability of loan characteristics limit the amount of external funds that banks can raise. In this framework, the study considers two possible types of financial intermediation, traditional banking (TB) and shadow banking (SB), differing in the level of diversification across projects. In particular, shadow banks, by pooling different loans, improve on the diversification of their idiosyncratic risk and increase the marketability of their assets. Tables, Figures, References.

This study estimates expected DB accruals from the age-service and salary distributions of a large sample of corporate pension plans with more than 1,000 employees. Comparing the counterfactual DB accruals to the actual increase in 401(k) and other DC contributions for firms that freeze, there is only partial compensation to employees for the lost DB accruals: pension freezes affect overall compensation; and, therefore, they change compensation costs relative to a worker's marginal product.

Using market income (or wages), inequality and poverty rose sharply between 2008 and 2010. The primary exception is measures for the top of the distribution; annual wage and income shares of the top 1% dipped in 2008 and 2009. Tax and transfer policies lowered inequality and poverty, but those policies were not equal across the population. Tables, Figures, References.

SoP laws are associated with (1) a lower level of CEO compensation, which partly results from lower CEO compensation growth rates and is related to CEO power; (2) a higher pay for performance sensitivity suggesting that SoP laws have the greatest effects on firms with poor performance; (3) a lower portion of total top management pay awarded to CEOs indicating lower pay inequality among top managers; and (4) a higher firm value.

Based on this measure, the systemic risk of European banks reached its height in late 2011. The sovereign default spread is the factor driving this heightened risk in the banking sector during the European debt crisis. Tables, Figures, Appendixes, References.

Sales tax increases, relative to cross-border neighbors, lead to losses of employment, as well as payroll and hiring, but these effects are only found in counties with large shares of residents working in another state. The effects also represent an upper-bound, largely driven by employment shifting across the state border. Employment in food and beverage stores is negatively affected when cross-border neighbors adopt low sales tax rates on food. Tables, Figures, References.

Using a dataset that contains the full population of U.S. manufacturers, I find that protected plants increase their capital intensities modestly relative to unprotected plants, but only when antidumping duties have been in place for a sufficient duration. I find little effect of antidumping duties on a proxy for the skilled labor intensity of protected plants. Adapted from the source document.

This paper develops a simple example of the possible connections between financial stability and monetary policy and finds that even without an explicit financial stability goal for monetary policy, financial stability considerations arise naturally in the context of standard models of optimal monetary policy if the potential magnitude of financial stability shocks is affected by the stance of policy.

The study finds reliable predictability only when the sample includes the 2008 financial crisis, and the authors argue that this result is driven by tailoring the indexes to the crisis and by non-synchronous trading. Financial conditions indexes are based on a variety of constituent variables and aggregation methods, and the study discusses a simple procedure for consolidating the growing number of different indexes into a single proxy for financial conditions.

These discussions tend to ignore America's long and varied history with many of the instruments under consideration to smooth the credit cycle, presumably because of their sparse usage in the last three decades.

Some have argued that the formulation of the guidance that the FOMC used may have reduced interest rates primarily by signaling a weak economic outlook rather than by signaling a more accommodative stance of monetary policy. This study examines the impact of the date-based guidance, with the principal goal of discerning the extent to which it altered investors' views of the FOMC's policy reaction function.

Using a dataset that contains the full population of US manufacturers, it finds that protected plants increase their capital intensities modestly relative to unprotected plants, but only when antidumping duties have been in place for a sufficient duration. There was little effect of antidumping duties on a proxy for the skilled labor intensity of protected plants. Tables, References.

The decrease involved several components of GDP and has been linked to a more stable economic environment, identified by smaller shocks, more effective policy, and a diverse set of innovations related to inventory management as well as financial markets. This study documents a negative relation between the volatility of GDP and some of its components and one such financial development: the emergence of mortgage-backed securities -- This relationship changed sign, from negative to positive, in the early 2000's.

Such deadweight loss calculations are overestimates proportional to the quantitative significance of heterogeneity in amenities across job matches. In particular, the endogenous supply of amenities can substantially exacerbate this overestimation in both static and dynamic environments. Given the possibility of gradual migration of workers into more amenity-focused job matches in response to tax increases, welfare calculations based on long-run taxable income elasticities can be more misleading than those based on short-run elasticities.

The government increases its spending when at the zero lower bound by a substantially larger amount in the stochastic environment than it would in the deterministic environment. Uncertainty creates a time-consistency problem if the steady-state is inefficient. Although access to government spending policy increases welfare in a large deflationary shock, it decreases welfare during normal times as the government reduces the nominal interest rate less aggressively before reaching the zero lower bound.

After showing that demographic and socioeconomic factors can account for little of this decrease, this study presents evidence suggesting that it is related to a downward trend in labor market transitions -- a decline in the fraction of workers moving from job to job, changing industry, and changing occupation. The study explores a number of reasons why these flows have diminished over time, including changes in the distribution of job opportunities across space, polarization in the labor market, concerns of dual-career households, and a strengthening of internal labor markets.

A run on debt issued by such vehicles played a key role in causing and propagating the liquidity crisis that began in the summer of 2007. The study finds evidence consistent with important roles for both owner-manager agency problems and government-induced distortions, especially government control or ownership of banks.

Our proposal would require that a small fraction of each MMF shareholder's recent balances, called the "minimum balance at risk" (MBR), be available for redemption only with a delay of 30 days. Most regular transactions in the fund would be unaffected; the requirement would only affect redemptions of the shareholder's MBR. In addition, in the rare event that a fund suffers losses, the MBRs of investors who have recently made large redemptions would absorb losses before those of nonredeeming investors. This subordination of redeeming investors' MBRs would create a disincentive to redeem if the fund is likely to have losses, but would have little effect on incentives when the risk of loss is remote. We use empirical evidence, including a novel data set from the U.S. Treasury and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on MMF losses in 2008, to calibrate an MBR rule that would reduce the vulnerability of MMFs to runs.

Using intraday security-level data on Treasury securities, this study conducts five event studies to document the presence of local supply effects and duration risk effects.

AN - 1448769950; 2011-517054 AB - Asset purchases have become a Federal Reserve monetary policy tool in recent years. Most studies of the Federal Reserve's asset purchases have tried to measure the interest rate effects of the policies, but the theory of how asset purchases work is less well developed. The study finds that the Federal Reserve is ultimately buying from only a handful of investor types, primarily households, with a different reaction to changes in Federal Reserve holdings of longer-term versus shorter-term assets. Although not evident for all investors, the key participants are shown to rebalance their portfolios toward more risky assets during this period. Tables, Figures.

Despite recent changes in the law, there remains an open debate regarding the extent to which prospective estates comprise assets that have been taxed previously. Using wealth data on US households, this study forecasts changes in household wealth in the coming decade and calculates the importance of untaxed wealth in bequeathed estates.

This paper contributes three types of evidence to this debate: (1) Since 2004, IT has continued to make a significant contribution to labor productivity growth; (2) Semiconductor technology, a key ingredient of the IT revolution, has continued to advance at a rapid pace; and (3) Given the ongoing advance in semiconductors, the pace of labor productivity growth could rise back up to or exceed the long-run average.

Using tax data, this study shows that pre-retirement withdrawals increased between 2004 and 2010, but early withdrawal rates are substantial (relative to new contributions) in all of those years. Early withdrawal events are strongly correlated with shocks to income and marital status, and lower-income taxpayers are more likely to experience the types of shocks associated with early withdrawals and more likely to have a taxable withdrawal when they experience a shock.

One explanation for this is that information about these securities' intrinsic values since the crisis has been asymmetric, with current holders having better information than potential buyers. This study characterizes the information asymmetries in the structured finance ABS CDO market and shows how the resulting adverse selection problem could explain why the bulk of these securities either trade at significant discounts or do not trade.

This study argues that this policy is an optimal response to an increase in foreign debt rollover risk. It finds a small, unexpected, and permanent increase in rollover risk accounts for the outburst of sudden stops in the late 1990s, the subsequent increase in foreign reserves holdings, and the salient resilience of emerging economies to sudden stops ever since. A policy of pooling reserves can substantially reduce the reserves needed by emerging economies. Tables, Figures, References.

Private Retirement Accounts AN - 1448772047; 2011-517062 AB - To determine whether freedom to choose how retirement funds reduces workers retirement, this study analyzes social risks of allowing choice, using the Social Security system as an example. Comparing a privatized alternative with the current system via simulation, the study documents that choice in both equity allocation and equity composition lead to increased income inequality and risk of shortfalls relative to currently promised benefits. While private accounts disproportionately increase shortfall risk for low-income workers, allowing choice increases risk for all workers (even with high return outcomes). Tables, Figures, References.

Consumption and leisure respond asymmetrically to a rise and a decline in trend inflation. As a result, an increase in the variance of shocks to the trend inflation process decreases welfare not only by increasing the volatilities of consumption and leisure, but also by decreasing their average levels. The welfare cost of drifting trend inflation is modest and comes mainly from reduced average levels of consumption and leisure, not from their increased volatilities. Tables, Figures, References.

This research studies the interplay between profitability uncertainty and moral hazard, where profitability is multiplicative with managerial effort. Investors who face greater uncertainty desire faster learning, and consequently offer higher managerial incentives to induce higher effort from the manager. In contrast to the standard negative risk-incentive trade-off, this "learning-by-doing" effect generates a positive relation between profitability uncertainty and incentives. There is empirical support for this prediction. Tables, Figures, Appendixes, References.

The bias-corrected series from 1996 to 2011 reveals a procyclical pattern of job-to-job transition and a large decline since the beginning of the 2000s, and the author constructs a model of on-the-job search and explores the implications of this phenomenon. The calibrated model shows that the decline in the reallocation of workers through job-to-job transitions has had a substantial effect on total factor productivity (TFP). Tables, Figures, References.

We find three key results. First, given limited scope for monetary accommodation, tax-based consolidation tends to have smaller adverse effects on output than expenditure-based consolidation in the near-term, though is more costly in the longer-run. Second, a large expenditure-based consolidation may be counterproductive in the near-term if the zero lower bound is binding, reflecting that output losses rise at the margin. Third, a ''mixed strategy'' that combines a sharp but temporary rise in taxes with gradual spending cuts may be desirable in minimizing the output costs of fiscal consolidation.

Every five years, the Federal Reserve conducts a two-part survey to identify the universe of such firms and to obtain balance-sheet data from firms identified in the Census of Finance Companies (CFC). A follow-up study of nonrespondents to the CFC was conducted to obtain information on the operating status of the unobserved firms. This paper describes the way the CFC and the follow-up were used to construct an estimate of the universe of finance companies. Tables, Figures.

Eventually, efforts to ensure that banks remained liquid resulted in a shift away from reserve requirements in favor of a central bank able to add liquidity to the financial system.

This study posits that monetary policy actions are partially revealed by the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) statements and proposes a new identification strategy to uncover the degree to which such policy actions induce comovement in exchange rates and long-term interest rates consistent with uncovered interest parity.

This study investigates how these two policies, which had conflicting pricing pressures, were absorbed by the market. Results suggest that these two reserve-neutral policies affected interest rates both within and beyond the stated policy periods. Tables.

For both men and women, there is a general pattern of negative selection across three measures of pre-entry labor-market behavior: labor-force participation, self-employment, and earnings -- However, for some outcomes the estimates are not precise enough to draw firm conclusions. The strongest results are that men who consented were 4.7 percentage points less likely to be self-employed than those who did not, and women who consented earned 13% less than those who did not.

At the same time, it limits the types of interventions by financial authorities to address systemic events when they occur. As a result, a broad and forward-looking monitoring program, which seeks to identify financial vulnerabilities and guide the development of pre-emptive policies to help mitigate them, is essential.

This paper examines the challenges that China will face over the next two decades in maintaining its rapid pace of economic growth, especially as working-age population growth slows further and then begins to decline.

Even over this period of steep house price declines and sharp recession, most moves were prompted by standard reasons. The recession's effects are nonetheless apparent in the notable fraction of homeowners who moved involuntarily due to, for example, foreclosure. Tables, References.

The purpose of this paper is to carry those estimates a step further by looking at the effects of bank funding market stress on the volume of bank lending, using a simultaneous equation approach.

As a result, input choices may differ systematically across firms in ways that are unrelated to their productive efficiency. We propose an accounting framework that allows us to assess empirically the magnitude of the loss in aggregate resources due to such misallocation. To a second-order approximation, the framework requires only information on the dispersion in borrowing costs across firms, which we measure-for a subset of U.S. manufacturing firms-directly from the interest rate spreads on their outstanding publicly-traded debt. Given the observed dispersion in borrowing costs, our approximation method implies a relatively modest loss in efficiency due to resource misallocation-on the order of 1 to 2 percent of measured total factor productivity (TFP). In our framework, the correlation between firm size and borrowing costs has no bearing on TFP losses under the assumption that financial distortions and firm-level efficiency are jointly log-normally distributed. To take into account the effect of covariation between firm size and borrowing costs, we consider a more general framework, which dispenses with the assumption of log-normality and which implies somewhat higher estimates of the resource losses-about 3.5 percent of measured TFP. Counterfactual experiments indicate that dispersion in borrowing costs must be an order of magnitude higher than that observed in the U.S. financial data, in order for misallocation-arising from financial distortions-to account for a significant fraction of measured TFP differentials across countries.

Instead, it finds that socioeconomic factors that affect the need for medical care, as well as interactions between the Medicare system, Medicaid, and private health spending, can account for most of the variation in Medicare spending. Health spending of the non-Medicare population is not well correlated with Medicare spending, suggesting that Medicare spending is not a good proxy for average health spending by state.

It finds that an increase in the variance of shocks to the discount factor process reduces consumption, inflation, and output by a substantially larger amount when the zero lower bound is binding than when it is not. Due to the zero lower bound constraint, policy functions for the real interest rates and the marginal costs of production are highly convex and concave, respectively.

This industry is important for consumer finance, and ABS-related losses at correspondent credit unions are associated with a large contraction in the supply of consumer credit and a hoarding of cash among downstream credit unions. These results suggest that capital regulation might shape the ability of financial institutions to transmit securities price volatility onto the real economy. Tables, Figures, References.

The results show that statistical significance of the coefficient on the debt ratio in predictive regressions changes considerably with the use of robust inference techniques. For countries with relatively low average debt ratios, the study finds a negative threshold effect as their debt ratios increase toward moderate levels; For countries with chronically high debt ratios, GDP growth slows as relative government debt increases, but there is no significant threshold effect.

Using a proprietary transaction-level data set, it documents (1) substantial constant-quality price differences across suppliers and (2) shifts toward lower priced suppliers. Chinese producers on average charged 17% less than leading Taiwanese producers for otherwise identical products and increased their market share by 14.7 percentage points. The extent of cross-country price dispersion is also diminishing over a product's life: A model with costs of switching suppliers is consistent with these pricing dynamics and can sustain realistic quality-adjusted price dispersion.

Despite availability of debt protection in the form of credit insurance for decades, there still has not been a great deal of consumer research on these products. In particular, consumers' experiences with and attitudes toward credit insurance have been documented only infrequently over a long period of time. This article reexamines consumer experience with these products by reporting on new consumer survey results. The first section of this article describes these products more fully and addresses why they have sometimes been viewed as controversial. The following section provides background for the survey approach to studying these products, and the next examines results of a new nationwide survey of consumers conducted in early 2012. The final section provides a brief summary and conclusion.

The main purpose of this article is to describe mortgage market activity in 2011 and in previous years based on the HMDA data. The analysis yields several key findings, among which are the following: 1. The number of home loans of all types reported by covered lenders declined between 2010 and 2011 from about 7.9 million loans to slightly less than 7.1 million loans. 2. The 10 most active organizations accounted for about 37% of all first-lien mortgage originations in 2011. 3. From 2010 to 2011, all income and racial or ethnic groups experienced a drop in home-purchase lending. 4. Lending activity has not yet rebounded in neighborhoods experiencing high levels of distress.

To control for the endogenity of fiscal positions to the business cycle we utilize forward projections of fiscal positions from the OECD's Economic Outlook. In a panel regression over the period from 1988 to 2007, we find a robust and significant effect of fiscal positions on long-term bond yields. Our estimates imply that the marginal effect of the projected deterioration of fiscal positions adds about 60 basis points to U.S. bond yields by 2015, with effects on other G-7 bond yields generally being smaller.

This requires a countercyclical equity issuance friction. With a countercyclical friction, the model can also overturn an undesirable feature of the standard debt-only model: dampening of shocks. To quantitatively match observed patterns, the friction in the cost of raising equity has to vary a lot more over the business cycle than can be justified by estimates of cyclical changes in direct equity issuance costs.

Correcting for selection biases, cross-listing leads to a doubling (or more) in U.S. investment, an impact greater than all other factors combined. Much of this increased U.S. investment is purchased in the foreign market, implying that the cross-listing effect reflects something more fundamental about a firm than easier acquisition of its securities. We also demonstrate that cross-listing is an important determinant of U.S. international investment at the country level and describe easy-to-implement methods for including a cross-listing variable as an endogenous control.

Exposure to securities losses in their investment portfolios and expected loan losses (measured by loan loss reserves) represent key measures of banks' on-balance sheet risks, in addition to off-balance sheet liquidity risk stemming from unused loan commitments. Unrealized securities losses and loan loss reserves seem to better capture the risks stemming from banks' asset management and provide supporting evidence for the precautionary nature of liquidity hoarding.

The GSG hypothesis argues that the surge in capital inflows from emerging market economies to the United States led to significant declines in long-term interest rates in the United States and other industrial economies. In turn, these lower interest rates, when combined with both innovations and deficiencies of the U.S. credit market, are believed to have contributed to the U.S. housing bubble and to the buildup in financial vulnerabilities that led to the financial crisis. Because the GSG countries for the most part restricted their U.S. purchases to Treasuries and Agency debt, their provision of savings to ultimately risky subprime mortgage borrowers was necessarily indirect, pushing down yields on safe assets and increasing the appetite for alternative investments on the part of other investors. Foreign acquisitions of private-label ABS, primarily by Europeans, provided credit more directly and, by adding to domestic demand for these securities, contributed to the decline in their spreads over Treasury yields. Through a combination of empirical estimation and model simulation, we verify that both GSG inflows into Treasuries and Agencies, as well as European acquisitions of ABS, played a role in contributing to downward pressures on U.S. interest rates.

The paper proves that the exante optimal tax, evaluated at steady state, maximizes human wealth, namely the present discounted value of agents' income from sources that are not subject to capital risk. Furthermore, when the amount of idiosyncratic risk in the economy is higher than a minimum lower bound, the optimal tax is positive, and it is precisely the tax that maximizes the economy-wide aggregates, such as the capital stock and output.

We examine data on over 30,000 commercial mortgages securitized into CMBS since 1999, and find significant differences in the propensity to become delinquent depending upon whether a loan was originated by a commercial bank, investment bank, insurance company, finance company, conduit lender, or foreign-owned entity. These differences hold both before and after controlling for key loan characteristics. We then explore possible explanations for these results. Reliance on external financing during a loan's warehousing period - the period between origination and securitization - could explain the relatively poor performance of loans originated by conduit lenders. Also, despite the potential for engaging in adverse selection, balance-sheet lenders - commercial banks, insurance companies and finance companies - actually underwrote higher-quality loans.

Moreover, this inequality gap has further widened during this period as the US has experienced a large increase in wage inequality, whereas the CEU has seen only modest changes. This paper studies the role of labor income tax policies for understanding these facts, focusing on male workers. Tables, Figures, Appendixes.

Using a new, large, and confidential panel of US income tax returns for the period 1987-2009, it extensively documents the empirical stylized facts about the evolution of various business income risk measures over time and finds that business income is much riskier than labor income, not only because of the probability of business exit, but also because of higher income fluctuations, conditional on no exit.

It compares workers who separate from distressed employers (presumably displaced workers) and those who separate from stable or growing employers; distinguishes between workers who do and do not experience a spell of joblessness; and examines the full distribution of earnings outcomes from separations. Earnings outcomes depend much less on whether a job separation is associated with a distressed employer than on whether the separator experienced a jobless spell afterwards, and workers separating from distressed firms are faster to find jobs than are other separators.

It examines how marginal and average tax rates vary by the size of business using four different measures of the size: net income, gross receipts, business value, and number of employees. The analysis also uses the long-time series of SCF cross-sections to examine how tax rates for business owners have evolved over the various changes in tax policy of the last two decades.

Using data from the Board's Survey of Consumers and Mobile Financial Services, this article provides a description of unbanked and underbanked consumers, and examines their use of financial products and services. The article further explores how unbanked and underbanked consumers are making use of emerging mobile financial services technologies. The potential for mobile banking and mobile payments to expand access and inclusion to the mainstream financial system is also examined. Several key findings from the survey stand out: 1. Approximately 11% of US consumers are unbanked, and another 11% are underbanked. 2. Unbanked and underbanked consumers are also more likely to use alternative financial service providers, such as check cashers; payday, title, and pawn lenders; or rent-to-own services. 3. Sixty-three percent of unbanked consumers have a mobile phone, and 91% of underbanked consumers have a mobile phone.

This identification allows us to measure the distribution wedge associated with bringing traded goods from the point of entry into the United States to their retail outlet. We find that overall U.S. distribution wedges are 50-70%, around 10 to 20 percentage points higher than that reported in the literature. We discuss the implications of this for measuring the size of the ''pure'' tradeables sector, exchange rate pass-through, and real exchange rate determination. We find that distribution wedges are very stable over time but there is considerable variation across items. There is some variation across the country of origin for the imported item, for our major trading partners, but not as much as the cross-item variation. We also investigate the determinants of distribution wedges, finding that wedges do not vary systematically with exchange rates, but are related to other features of the micro data.

A unilateral tax shift towards indirect taxes in one of the countries produces small but non-negligible long-run effects on output and consumption within and between the two countries only when international financial markets are perfectly integrated. Short-run effects are not always amplified by nominal wage rigidities, and short-run effects of the tax shift depend on the choice of the inflation index stabilized by the central bank and on whether the tax shift is anticipated.

With bank loans having only recently started growing and still sluggish, some bankers and borrowers have suggested that unnecessarily tight supervisory policies have been a constraint on new lending that is hindering recovery. This paper explores one specific aspect of supervisory policy: whether the standards used to assign commercial bank CAMELS ratings have changed materially over time (1991-2011).

Because small firms account for a disproportionate share of new job creation, lending to these firms could have important implications for the pace of economic recovery. A number of factors may have contributed to the decline in small business lending over this period; and this paper examines the extent to which changes in banks' supervisory ratings are associated with changes in the rate of growth of their lending to small businesses.

For industries dependent on external finance, it finds that an increase in the capital ratio has no statistically significant effect on net firm creation, but has an economically significant impact on average firm size, as measured in the number of employees. The findings indicate a lack of substitutes for bank funding both in the short and long run. Tables, Figures.

The latter is entirely unexplained by the benchmark homogeneous-agent model of equilibrium unemployment theory. This study shows that endogenous search and worker-side horizontal heterogeneity in production capacity can be important in accounting for this propagation puzzle. Tables, Figures, References.

Over this period, the US banking industry has consistently experienced over 150 mergers annually, with the largest banking organizations holding an increasing share of banking assets, raising concerns about competition, output, efficiency, and financial stability. While the industry has undergone considerable consolidation at the national level, local banking markets have not experienced significant increases in concentration. Tables, Figures, References.

The self-reported shocks in the SCF are derived from survey questions about the gap between actual and "normal" income, rather that from the residuals of estimated earnings or income equations. Engel Curve analysis shows a significant relationship between self-reported income shocks and household food spending, though the estimated spending responses are only a small part of the substantial slowdown in the growth rate of food consumption observed during the recent economic downturn.

These models are estimated using government and private long-term bond yields. Estimation results suggest short- and long-term interest rates both influence aggregate spending: The results indicate that the short-term interest rate has a larger influence on economic activity, through its impact on the entire term structure, than term and risk premiums (for equal-sized movements in long-term interest rates).

The securities holdings in excess of historical norms have been shown to be putting downward pressure on longer-term interest rates. One question asked is how long this unusual amount of monetary policy accommodation will be in place. This paper provides projections of the evolution of the Federal Reserve's balance sheet that are consistent with public economic forecasts and announced Federal Open Market Committee policy principles to help answer this question.

Policy-induced increases in US interest rates starkly raise default risk in emerging market economies; however, the overall correlation between US real interest rates and the risk of default is negative, demonstrating that the effects of other variables dominate the anterior relationship.

Deposit contracts are written in nominal terms: if prices unexpectedly fall, the real value of banks' existing obligations increases. Banks default, panics precipitate, economic activity declines. If banks default, aggregate demand for cash increases because financial intermediation provided by banks disappears. When money supply is unchanged, the price level drops, thereby providing incentives for banks to default. Active monetary policy prevents banks from failing and output from falling. Deposit insurance can achieve the same goal but amplifies business cycle fluctuations by inducing moral hazard. Tables, Figures, References.

This paper establishes that a substantial 35% of firms' investment is funded using financial markets and then constructs a dynamic equilibrium model that matches these features and fits the model to business cycle data using Bayesian methods. In the model, stylized banks enable trades of financial assets, directing funds towards investment opportunities and charging an intermediation spread to cover their costs. According to the model estimation, exogenous shocks to the intermediation spread explain 35% of GDP and 60% of investment volatility. Tables, Figures, References.

The examination is motivated by questions arising from two applications using economy-wide PPPs: the measurement of real effective exchange rates (REERs) and the correlation between prices and development; specifically, it explores how the view on competitiveness would be affected if one were to use PPP measures that exclude non-tradable categories.

Until 2007, consolidated data revenue was allocated in proportion to the number of reported trades. This allocation rule encouraged market participants to break up large trades and execute them in multiple pieces. This paper provides evidence that data revenue allocation influenced the trading process, by examining trading activity surrounding various events that changed the marginal data revenue per trade.

This study assesses whether variables such as the ones included in stress tests for US bank holding companies help improve out-of-sample forecasts of chargeoffs on loans, revenues, and capital measures, relative to forecasting models that exclude a role for macro factors.

Using evidence from a new dataset on home listings and transactions, it first shows that sellers do not have full information about current period demand conditions for their homes. This type of uncertainty is incorporated into a dynamic search model of the home selling problem with Bayesian learning. Simulations of the estimated model show that information frictions help explain short-run persistence in price appreciation rates and a positive (negative) correlation between price changes and sales volume (time on market).

The proposal would require that a small fraction of each MMF investor's recent balances, called the "minimum balance at risk" (MBR), be demarcated to absorb losses if the fund is liquidated. A key feature of the proposal is that large redemptions would subordinate a portion of an investor's MBR, creating a disincentive to redeem if the fund is likely to have losses. Tables, References.

A 100 basis-point increase in the 2-year nominal yield on an Federal Open Markets Committee (FOMC) announcement day is associated with a 42 basis-point increase in the 10-year forward real rate. This finding is at odds with standard macro models based on sticky nominal prices, which imply that monetary policy cannot move real rates over a horizon longer than that over which all prices in the economy can readjust -- Rather, the responsiveness of long-term real rates to monetary shocks appears to reflect changes in term premia.

Nonetheless, inflation, excluding food and energy, remains popular for its simplicity and transparency.

The Role of Nonlinearities and Asymmetries AN - 1738474608; 2011-383635 AB - There is a long tradition of using oil prices to forecast US real GDP. It has been suggested that the predictive relationship between the price of oil and one-quarter ahead US real GDP is nonlinear in that (1) oil price increases matter only to the extent that they exceed the maximum oil price in recent years and that (2) oil price decreases do not matter. The study shows that more accurate real GDP forecasts are obtained from symmetric nonlinear models based on the three-year net oil price change. Tables, Figures, References.

It finds that countries with less flexible exchange rate regimes pay higher sovereign bond spreads and are less likely to issue bonds. The results of this study suggest that choosing a less flexible exchange rate regime in general leads to higher borrowing costs for developing countries, especially when their currencies are overvalued.

This study investigates downward biases that arise when items experiencing a price change are especially likely to exit or to enter the index. It shows that, in theoretical pricing models, entry and exit have different implications for the timing and size of these biases. Tables, Figures.

The discussion draws on data from the Federal Reserve Board's Survey of Consumer Finances (SCF) for those years; it also uses evidence from other years of the survey and a special panel SCF conducted from 2007 to 2009 to place the 2007-2010 changes in a broader context. Data from the 2007 and 2010 SCF show that median income fell substantially and that mean income fell somewhat faster, an indication that income losses, at least in terms of levels, were larger for families in the uppermost part of the distribution. Overall, both median and mean net worth also fell dramatically over this period -- 38.8% and 14.7%, respectively. Changes in housing wealth and business equity were key drivers in those wealth changes.

Taking advantage of discontinuous census tract eligibility rules and abrupt changes in tract eligibility, I find some evidence of a small UAG effect on GSE purchases and mortgage originations, without crowding-out of FHA and subprime lending. The results also suggest that the GSEs exploit the law's lack of precision-targeting, yielding effects that might diverge from the law's intent.

This paper examines the farm land price boom (and bust) in the US that preceded the Great Depression. It found that credit availability likely had a direct effect on inflating land prices. Land prices also stayed low for a number of decades after the bust in areas that had higher credit availability, suggesting that the effects of booms and busts induced by credit availability might be persistent.

Using new data from Prosper.com, a peer-to-peer lending site that matches borrowers and lenders to provide unsecured consumer loans, it finds evidence that home owners in states with declining house prices face higher interest rates and greater rationing of credit, while also becoming delinquent faster. This evidence suggests that asset price fluctuations can play an important part in determining credit conditions and are thus a potentially significant mechanism for propagating macroeconomic shocks.

Individuals update expectations by Bayesian learning based on observations from their own lifetimes. In this model, the stock price exhibits stochastic fluctuations around the rational expectations equilibrium. This heterogeneous-agents economy can be approximated by a representative-agent model with constant-gain learning, where the gain parameter is related to the survival rate.

A market-based resolution mechanism developed in the form of a secondary market for B&L liabilities, but liability holders barred from withdrawal incurred large losses while liquidating their investments on this market. At the same time, B&Ls used the market to avoid realizing some losses by exchanging foreclosed real estate for their second-hand share liabilities. Tables, Figures, References.

The paper establishes a stylized fact: the response of shipments to orders is more pronounced when the level of new orders is low relative to the level of shipments, usually after orders plunge in recessions. This cyclical change in firm behavior is quantitatively important, accounting for a large portion of the steep decline in equipment investment in the 2001 and 2007-2009 recessions.

Statutory rules at the federal level did not seem to influence the size of deficits, but the hypothesis that the strength of a state's balanced budget rule influenced its response to unanticipated budget shocks was tested. Rules at the state-level seem to have had a significant influence on budget outcomes. Tables, Figures.

It finds no robust patterns in the timing of default decisions over terms of office and no evidence in support of the political reputation theory of sovereign debt repayment. Finally, there is some tentative evidence that elected leaders who default are also those more likely to be re-elected. Tables, References.

Using bank-level responses to the Federal Reserve's Senior Loan Officer Opinion Survey, this study decomposes the reported changes in lending standards -- a commonly-used indicator of changes in credit supply conditions -- into a component that captures the change in banks' lending posture in response to bank-specific and macroeconomic factors that also affect loan demand and a residual component, which provides a cleaner measure of fluctuations in the effective supply of bank-intermediated credit.

This paper re-examines this conventional wisdom by estimating the reaction of bank intraday stock returns to exogenous fluctuations in interest rates induced by monetary policy announcements. The results indicate that bank stock prices decline substantially following an unanticipated increase in the level of interest rates or a steepening of the yield curve. A large maturity gap, however, significantly attenuates the negative reaction of returns to a slope surprise, a result consistent with the role of banks as maturity transformers.

This article reviews four topics. First, the authors review the data collection and compilation methodology in place prior to the debut of the SLT, including a review of the shortcomings and pitfalls of those reports and methods. Second, they review the SLT methodology and its ability to improve upon the existing system. They then review, based on the initial data received, the additional coverage provided by the SLT and the differences between the SLT data and the previous estimates based on cross-border flows. Finally, they compare the changes in cross-border holdings reported on the TIC SLT for the fourth quarter of 2011 with the estimates of the same changes based on the previous methodology. In general, the SLT data confirm trends indicated by the existing transactions-based position estimates: Cross-border positions in both claims and liabilities have largely recovered from the pullbacks that occurred during the financial crisis.

On the supply side, covenant-induced reduction of credit supply was small, and there was almost no evidence of credit line cancellations. On the demand side, the results confirm that while smaller and lower-rated firms use their credit lines more intensively, larger and higher-rated firms were more likely to draw on their credit lines during the crisis. Firms that use interest rate swaps to hedge the interest rate risk associated with their credit lines draw down significantly more from those lines than non-hedged firms. Tables, Figures.

AN - 1315875671; 2011-383608 AB - This paper considers the impact on optimal tax policy of including endogenously determined retirement in a life cycle model. Allowing individuals to determine when they retire causes the optimal tax on capital to increase by 75% because of two implicit changes in the aggregate labor supply elasticity. In the absence of age-dependent taxes, the government mimics such a tax policy by further increasing the tax on capital. The study finds that the welfare lost from not accounting for endogenous retirement when solving for the optimal tax policy is equivalent to approximately 1% of lifetime consumption.

The study shows that the inability of foreign monetary policy to stabilize the foreign economy at the ZLB creates a spillover that affects how well the home policymaker is able to stabilize its own economy. More stimulatory foreign policy worsens the home policymaker's trade-off between stabilizing inflation and the output gap when home and foreign goods are close substitutes.

This paper documents reliable evidence of pay for CEO credentials and argues that the evidence is consistent with models of the CEO labor market. The main finding is that boards' compensation decisions reward several reputational, career, and educational credentials of CEOs, with newly-appointed CEOs earning a 5% ($280,000) total pay premium for each decile improvement in the distribution of these credentials.

These time-to-plan lags are long, averaging about 17 months when the projects are aggregated without regard to size and more than 28 months when the projects are weighted by their construction cost. Regulatory factors help explain the variation in planning lags across locations, and this study presents anecdotal evidence that links at least some of the lengthening over time to heightened regulatory scrutiny.

It shows that there are important differences in the impact of fiscal shocks across these monetary regimes that depend both on the duration of the zero lower bound and on features that determine the responsiveness of inflation.

A significant body of research has emerged suggesting that participation in SNAP increases the probability of being obese for adult women and has little effect on the probability for adult men. However, studies addressing the effects of participation on children have produced mixed results. This paper examines the effect of long-term SNAP participation on the Body Mass Index (BMI) percentile and probability of being overweight or obese for children ages 5-18 using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 Children and Young Adults data set. An instrumental variables identification strategy that exploits exogenous variation in state-level program parameters, as well as state and federal expansions of the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), is used to address the endogeneity between SNAP participation and obesity. SNAP participation is found to significantly reduce BMI percentile and the probability of being overweight or obese for boys and girls ages 5-11 and boys ages 12-18. For girls ages 12-18, SNAP participation appears to have no significant effect on these outcomes.

Some have claimed that the Affordable Housing Goals (AHGs), introduced by Congress through the GSE Act of 1992, and the resulting purchases of single-family mortgages the GSEs made to meet those goals, drove lending to high-risk borrowers. This study measures the effect of one of the goals, the Underserved Areas Goal (UAG), on the number of whole single-family mortgages purchased by the GSEs in targeted census tracts from 1996 to 2002.

Considering Husbands' and Wives' Benefits Separately AN - 1315875836; 2011-383617 AB - A majority of women receive most of their Social Security benefits based upon their husbands' earnings history, but previous research has shown that husbands' benefit claiming is inconsistent with maximizing lifetime benefits for the couple. That research assumes husbands choose their claim age based on all Social Security incentives facing the household. It shows that husbands' claiming behavior responds to the actuarial incentives built into their own retired worker benefit formula, but not the incentives built into the spouse and survivor formulas that determine their wives' benefit, including lifetime benefits.

AN - 1738473496; 2011-383601 AB - Aggregate under-reporting of household spending in the Consumer Expenditure Survey (CE) can result from two fundamental types of measurement errors: higher-income households (who presumably spend more than average) are under-represented in the CE estimation sample, or there is systematic under-reporting of spending by at least some CE survey respondents. Using a new data set linking CE units to zip-code level average Adjusted Gross Income (AGI), this study shows that the very highest-income households are less likely to respond to the survey when they are sampled, but unit non-response rates are not associated with income over most of the income distribution.

TARP was originally intended to stabilize the financial sector through the increased capitalization of banks; however, recipients of TARP funds were then encouraged to make additional loans despite increased borrower risk. This paper considers the effect of the TARP capital injections on bank risk taking by analyzing the risk ratings of banks' commercial loan originations during the crisis. Tables, Figures, References.

This paper examines the predictive value of the yield curve to forecast future economic growth as well as the beginning and end of economic recessions at the monthly frequency. The nonlinear model is used to investigate the interrelationship between the phases of the bond market and of the business cycle, and the results indicate a strong interrelation between these two sectors.

Using a comprehensive dataset of all US investment in foreign equities, this study finds that the single most important determinant of the amount of US investment a foreign firm receives is whether the firm cross-lists on a US exchange. This firm-level analysis has implications for country-level studies, suggesting that research investigating equity investment patterns at the country-level should include cross-listing as an endogenous control variable.

Empirical Evidence for Nonequivalent Market Power Effects of Tariffs and Quotas AN - 1738473486; 2011-383619 AB - Over the past 50 years, the steel industry has been protected by a wide variety of trade policies, both tariff- and quota-based. It exploits this extensive heterogeneity in trade protection to examine the well-established theoretical literature predicting nonequivalent effects of tariffs and quotas on domestic firms' market power. Using plant-level Census Bureau data for steel plants from 1967-2002, it finds evidence for significant market power effects for binding quota-based protection, but not tariff-based protection, particularly with respect to integrated and mini-mill steel producers.

As a result, share prices fell to nearly zero, and many banks across the country lost the value of their investments in the preferred shares.

Managerial compensation is linked to firm value; however, because the manager and shareholders are asymmetrically informed, the manager can manipulate the firm's accounting information to increase perceived firm value. Dividends can limit such practices by adding to the cost faced by a manager manipulating earnings. Tables, Figures, References.

From 2009:Q3 to 2011:Q3, aggregate household debt declined by about 1.5 trillion dollars in real terms, with mortgage debt falling by about 1 trillion dollars. Other than defaults, the factors driving the decline in aggregate debt are not precisely understood, in large part because the necessary data are not widely available. This paper draws on panel data consisting of individual credit records to better understand why mortgage debt has declined. Tables, Figures, Appendixes, References.

In this article we develop an algorithm for concording periodic-revisions to the ten-digit Harmonized System (HS) codes used by U.S. statistical agencies to categorize international trade since 1989. We use this algorithm to construct the first comprehensive concordance of HS codes over time, and show how this concordance can be extended to incorporate future revisions. We then characterize the extent of HS-code changes since 1989 and discuss how controlling for these revisions is critical for understanding the growth of U.S. trade. Lastly, we highlight the general applicability of the algorithm to other national and international product classification systems. Adapted from the source document.

It constructs monthly measures of aggregated and industry-level stock volatility and bond market volatility from daily returns. The study finds that there are substantial gains from using the long-term component of the volatility measures for linearly projecting future economic activity, as well as for forecasting business cycle turning points. When allowing for asymmetry in the long-run volatility component, it finds that it provides early signals of upcoming recessions. Tables, Figures, References.

Using security-level data on Treasury prices and quantities during the course of this program, this study documented a "local supply" effect in the yield curve -- yields within a particular maturity sector responded more to changes in the amounts outstanding in that sector than to similar changes in other sectors.

AN - 1315875989; 2011-383642 AB - During the 2008-2009 global financial crisis, emerging market economies (EMEs) loosened monetary policy considerably to cushion the shock. In previous crises episodes, by contrast, EMEs generally had to tighten monetary policy to defend the value of their currencies, to contain capital flight, and to bolster policy credibility. This study aims to understand the factors that enabled this remarkable shift in monetary policy, and also to assess whether this marks a new era in which EMEs can now conduct countercyclical policy, more in line with advanced economies.

Including endogenous human capital accumulation, either through learning-by-doing or learning-or-doing, is analytically shown to create a motive for the government to use age-dependent labor income taxes. If the government cannot condition taxes on age, then it is optimal to use a tax on capital in order to mimic such taxes. Tables, References.

This paper quantifies the role that the tax policies of the federal and state governments have played in mitigating wage inequality. The analysis, which isolates the contribution of federal taxes and state taxes separately, employs two approaches: (1) cross-sectional estimates compare before-tax and after-tax inequality across the 50 states and the District of Columbia and (2) inequality estimates across time are calculated to assess the evolution of the effects of tax policies.

Most of this growth is accounted for by a handful of emerging market economies that have been running large current account surpluses. These countries are channeling their savings through the official sector, which is then acquiring foreign exchange reserves.

This study develops an algorithm for concording periodic revisions to the ten-digit Harmonized System (HS) codes used by US statistical agencies to categorize international trade since 1989. It uses this algorithm to construct the first comprehensive concordance of HS codes over time and shows how this concordance can be extended to incorporate future revisions.

GSE eligibility appears to have lowered interest rates by about 10 basis points, encouraged fixed-rate loans over adjustable rate mortgages (ARMs), and discouraged low-documentation and brokered loans. The overall picture suggests that GSE purchases had only a modest impact on loan terms during this period. Tables, Figures, References.

This paper studies a multi-country general equilibrium economy in which entrepreneurs and lenders engage in long-term credit relationships. Financial constraints arise in consequence of financial contracts that are optimal given information asymmetry. Consistent with empirical regularities, as firm age and size increase, the model implies decreasing mean and variance of firm growth and increasing firm survival. Tables, References.

In this paper we provide tools that improve the existing data in two ways. First, we develop an algorithm that yields concordances between the ten-digit Harmonized System (HS) codes used to classify products in U.S. international trade and the SIC and NAICS industry codes used to classify domestic economic activity. These concordances then yield novel time series of industry-level international trade data for the years 1989 to 2009. Second, we provide concordances between HS codes and the SIC and NAICS product classes used to classify U.S. manufacturing production, allowing for matching at a more disaggregated level than was previously available.

The Federal Reserve's portfolio holdings influence mortgage markets, through both a "portfolio balancing channel" and an "excess reserves" channel. These two channels can work in opposite directions and their magnitudes are difficult to estimate, but on net, larger Federal Reserve's portfolio holdings seem to have placed a significant downward influence on MBS yields and mortgage rates.

Whereas some studies have focused on its impact on workplace accommodation, this is the first to do so while accounting for previous state anti-discrimination and Workers' Compensation laws. Using data from the Health and Retirement Study, the authors find that prior to the implementation of the ADA, employers were more likely to accommodate workers if their disability onset was work-related and hence likely to be covered by Workers' Compensation laws. State anti-discrimination laws significantly increased accommodations to workers whose disabilities were not work-related, effectively bringing their accommodation rates in line with workers whose disabilities were. Though implementation of the ADA increased accommodation for all workers, the authors point out that failure to account for pre-existing state anti-discrimination and Workers' Compensation laws will underestimate its effect.

This study illustrates the strong relationship in city-level data between the volatility of house prices and the regulation of new housing supply. It then employs a dynamic structural model of housing investment to estimate the effect of supply constraints on both the level of new construction and the responsiveness of investment to house prices. It finds that supply constraints increase volatility through two channels. Tables, Figures.

Comerica, with total consolidated assets of approximately $55.2 billion, is the 32nd largest depository organization in the US, controlling deposits of approximately $41.1 billion, which represent less than 1% of the total amount of deposits of insured depository institutions in the US. Sterling has total consolidated assets of approximately $5.1 billion and Sterling Bank operates only in Texas. Sterling is the 14th largest depository organization in the Texas, controlling deposits of approximately $4.1 billion. Based on all the facts of record, the Board has concluded that consummation of the proposal would not have a significantly adverse effect on competition or on the concentration of resources in any of the banking markets where the subsidiary depository institutions of Comerica and Sterling compete directly or in any other relevant banking market.

It investigates the initial transmission of monetary policy to closely related money markets, pricing of risk, and liquidity effects, and then shows how these could interact if the Federal Reserve removes the substantial amount of liquidity currently in the federal funds market. The results suggest that pass-through from the federal funds rate to the repo deteriorated somewhat during the zero lower bound period, likely due to limits to arbitrage and idiosyncratic market factors.

As a result, input choices may differ systematically across firms in ways that are unrelated to their productive efficiency. This study proposes a simple accounting framework that allows for the assessment of the empirical magnitude of the loss in aggregate resources due to such misallocation. Tables, Figures.

By using a panel data set for virtually all incorporated Swedish businesses over 1990-2009, a period which includes a full-scale banking crisis, it finds strong evidence for a substantial and stable impact from aggregate fluctuations on business defaults. The analysis shows that firm-specific factors are useful in ranking firms' relative riskiness, but that macroeconomic factors are necessary to understand fluctuations in the absolute risk level.

This paper investigates whether the credit-to-GDP ratio gap, which has been proposed as a reference point for accumulating countercyclical capital buffers, is subject to similar problems. Ex-post revisions to the US credit-to-GDP ratio gap are sizable and as large as the gap itself, and the main source of these revisions stems from the unreliability of end-of-sample estimates of the series' trend rather than from revised estimates of the underlying data.

These lower interest rates, when combined with both innovations and deficiencies of the US credit market, are believed to have contributed to the US housing bubble and to the buildup in financial vulnerabilities. This report describes how capital flows contributed to the crisis, drawing attention to the sizable inflows from European investors into US private-label asset-backed securities, including mortgage-backed securities and other structured investment products.

This paper examines whether these programs were associated with worse outcomes in the mortgage market, including delinquency rates and measures of loan quality. It finds little evidence that either the CRA or the GSE goals played a significant role in the subprime crisis. Tables, Figures.

Empirically, movements in housing wealth are associated with movements in consumption in the same direction. A sizeable portion of the comovement between housing wealth and consumption reflects common factors driving both variables, rather than the "wealth effect" of the former on the latter; however, a growing body of evidence suggests that the comovement is larger in developed financial markets and in the presence of liquidity constraints.

As part of its regulatory development process, the Board has used qualitative and quantitative research methods in controlled environments to create new disclosures and to test them for their ability to enhance consumer understanding of a wide range of financial products and services. These findings also reveal some of the limitations of disclosures, including the difficulty of making complex concepts or products understandable to consumers. In addition to the limitations revealed by testing in a controlled environment, the impact of disclosures on consumer decision making in actual financial transactions is likely to be affected by other factors, such as the context in which the disclosure is delivered and the behavior of suppliers.

This paper finds that futures prices have generally outperformed a random walk forecast, but not by a large margin, while both futures and a random walk noticeably outperform a simple extrapolation of recent trends (a random walk with drift).

Finally, it uses the model to assess the recent Great Recession in the world economy and how its impact on the economic development in Sweden depends on the conduct of monetary policy.

Most analysts agree that QEP did not succeed in stimulating aggregate demand sufficiently to overcome persistent deflation; however, it remains unclear whether QEP simply provided little stimulus, or whether its positive effects were overwhelmed by the contractionary forces in Japan's post-bubble economy. This report identifies a significant effect of bank liquidity positions on lending, suggesting that the expansion of reserves associated with QEP slightly boosted the flow of credit.

The results indicate, among other findings, that although the fall in demand adversely affected the sales of all firms during the crisis, sales declined by less for firms with better pre-crisis financial conditions.

Section 3(d) of the BHC Act allows the Board to approve an application by a bank holding company to acquire control of a bank located in a state other than the bank holding company's home state if certain conditions are met. For purposes of the BHC Act, the home state of FNF Group is Pennsylvania, and NewAlliance is located in Connecticut and Massachusetts. Based on a review of all the facts of record, including relevant state statutes, the Board finds that the conditions for an interstate acquisition enumerated in section 3(d) of the BHC Act are met in this case.

Under one requirement, the Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) banks will need to hold enough highly liquid assets to survive for a month in a stress scenario. This reports examines the Brazilian experience prior to and during the global crisis as a case study that can shed light into the challenges of using reserve requirements as a liquidity management tool.

Although foreclosure considerably raises the probability of moving, the majority of post-foreclosure migrants do not end up in substantially less desirable neighborhoods or more crowded living conditions. These results suggest that, on average, foreclosure does not impose an economic burden large enough to severely reduce housing consumption. Tables, Figures, References.

Economic theory on the relationship between concentration and the pass-through of input prices to quantity (or price) is ambiguous. We find that more concentrated markets have lower business loan originations and experience smaller changes in business loan originations in response to changes in the federal funds rate. Our results support the idea that market concentration dampens quantity reactions to input price changes.

While the switching models using output growth alone produce a considerable number of false positive recession signals, adding the slope of the yield curve, the percent change in housing starts, and the change in the unemployment rate to the model reduces false positives and improves recession forecasting.

Investment tax credits, which do affect accounting profits, have more impact on investment than accelerated depreciation, which does not. This difference in estimated impact is not obviously driven by discounting, cash flow effects, or measurement error, suggesting that the tax burden on corporate capital could be lower than otherwise estimated, and accelerated depreciation provisions are less effective than they otherwise would be.

This paper argues that these outcomes are more likely if ARM borrowers are borrowing constrained, and the study finds that ARM borrowers exhibit characteristics and behavior that are consistent with being borrowing constrained.

The Congress intended that HMDA achieve its legislative objectives primarily through the force of public disclosure. These objectives include helping members of the public determine whether financial institutions are serving the housing needs of their local communities and treating borrowers and loan applicants fairly, providing information that could facilitate the efforts of public entities to distribute funds to local communities for the purpose of attracting private investment, and helping households decide where they may want to deposit their savings. The data have also proven to be valuable in a variety of public policy and research endeavors to explore mortgage market activity; in this connection, the HMDA data have been especially valuable when combined with other types of information, such as the socioeconomic and demographic status of different populations and geographies.

The subsequent recovery in trade, while vigorous at first, gradually lost momentum in 2010. This paper explores the prospects for global and US trade in the medium term. The analysis suggests that during the crisis both world trade and US exports declined significantly more than would have been expected on the basis of historical relationships with economic activity; moreover, this gap between actual and equilibrium trade is closing only slowly and could persist.

Household income uncertainty has risen significantly and persistently since the early 1970s likely due to the increase in variances of both persistent and transitory income shocks. Although the increase in uncertainty was widespread, the increase was most pronounced among single-earner households and high-income households. Tables, Figures.

Changes in families' wealth over the period appear to reflect changes in asset values (particularly the value of homes, stocks, and businesses) rather than changes in the level of ownership of assets and debts or in the amount of debt held. Families appear more cautious in 2009 than in 2007, as most families reported greater desired buffer savings. Tables, Figures.

AN - 914787261; 2011-157441 AB - Presents empirical support for the energy ladder hypothesis, which contends that as an economy develops, it transits away from a heavier reliance on traditional fuel sources towards an increase in the use of modern commercial energy sources. The fact that as an economy matures, it transforms away from agriculture-based activity into industrial activity and, finally, fully matures into a service-oriented economy is an important driver for the distribution of end-use energy consumption. However, there is still evidence suggesting that the patterns of energy consumption in Brazil, Russia, India, and China (BRIC) economies are different from those of other economies.

The expectations hypothesis, that longer-term rates should equal expected future short-term rates plus a term premium, provides the typical framework for understanding this relationship. This study explores the effect of volatility in the federal funds market on the expectations hypothesis in money markets. Tables, Figures.
