Reconstructing Keynesian Macroeconomics Volume 3 Macroeconomic Activity Banking and Financial Markets

Reconstructing Keynesian Macroeconomics Volume 3 Macroeconomic Activity Banking and Financial Markets

This book represents the third of three volumes offering a complete reinterpretation and restructuring of Keynesian macroeconomics and a detailed investigation of the disequilibrium adjustment processes characterizing the financial the goods and the labour markets and their interaction. This book offers a full treatment of the interlinkages between the real and the financial markets including an analysis of banking credit and endogenous money and asset markets. It remains critical of quite frequently used conventional macro models that have dropped the tradition of studying the macroeconomic feedback channels well-known in the history of macroeconomics. Those feedback mechanisms are known to have the potential for instabilities with respect to real markets price dynamics and financial markets. In this volume a particular emphasis is given to the financial-real interaction. The research in this book with its focus on Keynesian propagation mechanisms provides a unique alternative to the black-box shock-absorber approaches that dominate modern macroeconomics. The main conclusion of the work is that policy makers need to reconsider Keynesian ideas but in the modern form in which they are expressed in this volume. Reconstructing Keynesian Macroeconomics will be of interest to students and researchers who want to look at alternatives to the mainstream macrodynamics that emerged from the Monetarist critique of Keynesianism. This book will also engage central bankers and macroeconomic policy makers. | Reconstructing Keynesian Macroeconomics Volume 3 Macroeconomic Activity Banking and Financial Markets

Modern Monetary Theory and European Macroeconomics

Modern Monetary Theory and European Macroeconomics

This book provides a new methodological approach to money and macroeconomics. Realizing that the abstract equilibrium models lacked descriptions of fundamental issues of a modern monetary economy the focus of this book lies on the (stylized) balance sheets of the main actors. Money after all is born on the balance sheets of the central bank or commercial bank. While households and firms hold accounts at banks with deposits banks hold an account at the central bank where deposits are called reserves. The book aims to explain how the two monetary circuits – central bank deposits and bank deposits – are intertwined. It is also shown how government spending injects money into the economy. Modern Monetary Theory and European Macroeconomics covers both the general case and then the Eurozone specifically. A very simple macroeconomic model follows which explains the major accounting identities of macroeconomics. Using this new methodology the Eurozone crisis is examined from a fresh perspective. It turns out that not government debt but the stagnation of private sector debt was the major economic problem and that cuts in government spending worsened the economic situation. The concluding chapters discuss what a solution to the current problems of the Eurozone must look like with scenarios that examine a future with and without a euro. This book provides a detailed balance sheet view of monetary and fiscal operations with a focus on the Eurozone economy. Students policy-makers and financial market actors will learn to assess the institutional processes that underpin a modern monetary economy in times of boom and in times of bust.

Expectations and the Foreign Exchange Market

Expectations and the Foreign Exchange Market

Originally published in 1984. This book examines two important dimensions of efficiency in the foreign exchange market using econometric techniques. It responds to the macroeconomics trend to re-examining the theories of exchange rate determination following the erratic behaviour of exchange rates in the late 1970s. In particular the text looks at the relation between spot and forward exchange rates and the term structure of the forward premium both of which require a joint test of market efficiency and the equilibrium model. Approaches used are the regression of spot rates on lagged forward rates and an explicit time series analysis of the spot and forward rates using data from Canada the United Kingdom the Netherlands Switzerland and Germany. | Expectations and the Foreign Exchange Market

Macroeconomic and Monetary Policy Issues in Indonesia

Macroeconomic and Monetary Policy Issues in Indonesia

Following the acquisition of its sovereignty from the Netherlands in 1949 Indonesia experienced serious economic and political problems during the 1950s and 1960s before entering a three-decade-long period of rapid economic growth. Hard-hit by the financial crisis of the late 1990s Indonesia undertook a wide range of economic and financial reforms. These reforms served to prepare it well for the 2007-08 global financial crisis through which Indonesia passed relatively unscathed. Drawing on empirical research this book presents a comprehensive empirical study on the key macroeconomic relations and monetary policy issues in Indonesia. The book analyses monetary fiscal and exchange-rate policies looking at their interactions and impacts on the economy. It demonstrates how important macroeconomic management for monetary and financial stability is to sustained national economic growth and development. Data from the 1970s is compared and contrasted with 1950s data to analyse macroeconomic policies and issues in an historical context. Statistical and econometric techniques are juxtaposed with general empirical results to supplement informative discussion of macroeconomic and monetary developments.

China’s New Normal Supply-side and Structural Reform

China’s New Normal Supply-side and Structural Reform

China’s continuous rapid economic growth since the Reform and Opening up of the country in the early 1980s has been praised as a miracle of the world economy. However since 2012 the rate of growth has slowed down rendering some people pessimistic about the country’s economic prospects. This title is a collection of a leading Chinese economists’ views on China’s economic growth and structural reform. The author argues that China’s economy has entered “the new normal” meaning that slowed growth rate is not a cyclical phenomenon but a change in the stage of economic development. Therefore there is a need to enact supply-side structural reforms such as improved efficiency of resource reallocation while shifting the mode of development from one of inputs to innovation. In addition the author discusses the five major concepts of development proposed for the “13th Five-Year Plan” as well as some critical topics related to supply-side structural reform such as agricultural development labor employment and product quality. Scholars and students of macroeconomics development economics and the Chinese economy will find this book to be essential reading. | China’s New Normal Supply-side and Structural Reform

Employment Growth and Development Essays on a Changing World Economy

Employment Growth and Development Essays on a Changing World Economy

This book examines the critical themes of employment growth and development to focus on challenges and opportunities both old and new in the contemporary world economy. The essential theme that runs through the book is that there is a strong relationship not only between employment and growth but also between employment and development where the causation runs in both directions. The author shows how employment transforms economic growth into meaningful development by providing livelihoods and incomes to people. While the book is primarily concerned with developing countries it considers industrialized countries as points of reference or comparison since the latter are a large part of an interdependent world in which problems faced by the two sets of countries are frequently connected and sometimes common. The ten essays in this volume also provide a macroeconomic analysis of development problems situated in the wider context of a changing world economy exploring possible solutions to understand the implications for countries and for people. A timely collection by an eminent economist this book will be useful to teachers students and researchers in economics especially those interested in macroeconomics political economy and development studies. | Employment Growth and Development Essays on a Changing World Economy

Computable General Equilibrium Modeling Theory and Applications

Computable General Equilibrium Modeling Theory and Applications

Many books have been written on computable general equilibrium (CGE) modeling. However there are certain important areas for economic policy that have been largely overlooked. This intermediate/advanced text presents the topic as a methodology for the analysis of macro and fiscal policies in modern economies while introducing levels of disaggregation that are beyond the scope of standard macro models. The book begins by presenting the historical and intuitive background of general equilibrium analysis. Moving on computer software is introduced to derive numerical solutions for economic models. The authors provide examples of code bringing in data sources that have become the foundations of CGE applications. The methodology presented here which differs from other CGE books includes financial assets government budget deficits and debt financing of private investment. These topics are analyzed in the context of dynamic optimization generating endogenous variables such as inflation interest and growth rates. The book also devotes significant attention to the applications of CGE models to developing economies. This textbook comes with a range of downloadable supplements and will be a valuable resource for students taking a CGE course as part of a program in advanced microeconomics macroeconomics development economics or international trade economics. | Computable General Equilibrium Modeling Theory and Applications

Foundations of Real-World Economics What Every Economics Student Needs to Know

Foundations of Real-World Economics What Every Economics Student Needs to Know

The 2008 financial crisis the rise of Trumpism and the other populist movements which have followed in their wake have grown out of the frustrations of those hurt by the economic policies advocated by conventional economists for generations. Despite this textbooks remain frozen in time continuing to uphold traditional policies as though nothing has happened.

The math works well on college blackboards but not so well on the Main Streets of America. This volume explores the realities of oligopolies the real impact of the minimum wage the double-edged sword of free trade and other ways in which powerful institutions cause distortions in mainstream models. Bringing together the work of key scholars like Kahneman Minsky and Schumpeter this textbook takes into consideration the inefficiencies that arise when the perfectly competitive model is applied to the real world dominated by multinational oligopolies. The third edition has been updated throughout bringing in new material on the financial crises the rise of populism racism inequality climate change and the Covid-19 pandemic. A must-have for students studying the principles of economics as well as micro- and macroeconomics this textbook redresses the existing imbalance in economic teaching as John Komlos focuses on the paradigm of humanistic economics. | Foundations of Real-World Economics What Every Economics Student Needs to Know

The Economics of John Maynard Keynes

The Economics of John Maynard Keynes

Widely recognized as one of the greatest economists in history there has been a surge of interest in the work of John Maynard Keynes since the financial crisis of 2008 with people looking for solutions to rebalance the economy. Presciently Keynes argued that free markets are unable to fully organize economic activity and that the steadying and reforming hand of the State is needed for capitalism to function properly. In the aftermath of the financial crisis of 2008 exacerbated by a global pandemic these ideas are more timely than ever. This book provides an introduction to Keynes’ thoughts on capitalism the State and macroeconomics. It starts with Keynes’ epistemological theory of his A Treatise on Probability (1921) from which aspects such as uncertainty and the decision-making process both later important in his economic work can be drawn. The book then pursues Keynes’ economic writings. From A Tract on the Monetary Reform (1923) and A Treatise on Money (1930) it shows Keynes’ pursuit of a full understanding of the role of money in the economy. Keynes masterfully demonstrated the knowledge he gained through his 1936 masterpiece The General Theory of Employment Interest and Money. Going beyond Keynes’ classic this book also explores his later work on economic policy prescriptions and finally his concept of State and economic development. This accessible introduction to the economic thought of Keynes will be essential reading for those interested in the history and development of economics as well as political scientists sociologists historians and others seeking an overview of these foundational economic ideas. | The Economics of John Maynard Keynes

Labour Market Institutions and Productivity Labour Utilisation in Central and Eastern Europe

Labour Market Institutions and Productivity Labour Utilisation in Central and Eastern Europe

This book explains the role of formal labour market institutions in keeping the labour utilisation in Central and Eastern Europe above the level characteristic for Western European states. It provides an innovative and enriching take on labour utilisation at large and how various formal labour market institutions can affect the ongoing trend in labour utilisation in a way that is not covered by the extant literature. The impact of labour market institutions on labour market outcomes is analysed throughout 12 chapters both from a cross-country perspective and in detailed case-studies by 21 labour market experts from various CEE countries. Most chapters are based on empirical methods yet are presented in an easy-to-follow way in order to make the book also accessible for a non-scientific audience. The volume explores three key questions: How can labour utilisation be increased by labour market institutions? Which CEE countries managed to create a labour market institutional framework beneficial for labour utilisation? How should the labour market institutions in CEE countries be reformed in order to increase labour utilisation? The book argues that the legacy of transition reforms and a centrally planned past is still relevant in explaining common patterns among CEE countries and concludes that increasing the stock of skills accumulated by the employed and improving utilisation of these skills seems to be the first-best solution to increase labour utilisation. The book will be of interest to post-graduate researchers and academics in the fields of labour economics regional economics and macroeconomics as well as scholars interested in adopting an institutional analysis approach. Additionally due to the broader policy implications of the topic the book will appeal to policymakers and experts interested in labour economics. | Labour Market Institutions and Productivity Labour Utilisation in Central and Eastern Europe

Digital Labour Markets in Central and Eastern European Countries COVID-19 and the Future of Work

Digital Labour Markets in Central and Eastern European Countries COVID-19 and the Future of Work

This book examines the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on changing labour markets and accelerating digitalisation of the workplace in Central and Eastern Europe. It provides an innovative and enriching take on the work experience from the pandemic times and discusses the challenges of ongoing changes in labour markets and workplaces in a way that is not covered by the extant literature. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and digitalisation on labour market outcomes is analysed throughout 12 chapters by 34 labour market experts from various CEE countries. Most chapters are based on empirical methods yet are presented in an easy-to-follow way to make the book also accessible for a non-scientific audience. The volume addresses the three key goals: to better understand the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the adoption of workplace digitalisation in the selected labour markets in CEE countries and the potential trade-offs facing those who do and do not have access to this benefit to complement the labour market research by incorporating the outputs of changing demand for skills to contribute new insight into policies and regulations that govern the future of work The book argues that the recent COVID-19 pandemic was a sombre reminder of the relevance and necessity of digital technology for a variety of sectors and market activities. It concludes that to downside the risks of vanishing jobs as well as to minimise the threats and maximise the opportunities of digitalisation in CEE countries labour market partners need to consider an effective governance tool in terms of inclusive access to the digital environment re-skilling and balanced regulations of the more problematic facets of digital work. The book will be of interest to postgraduate researchers and academics in the fields of labour economics regional economics and macroeconomics. Additionally due to the broader policy implications of the topic the book will appeal to policymakers and experts interested in labour economics.
