Study Notes
Manias, Panics, and Crashes: Patterns of Financial Behavior
-
Ponzi schemes promise high rates of return, pay initial investors with money from new investors, and eventually collapse.
-
Bernie Madoff ran one of the largest Ponzi schemes, promising steady returns.
-
Chain letters and pyramid schemes involve isolated segments of the economy and redistribute income from latecomers to initial participants.
-
Bubbles involve the purchase of an asset in anticipation of selling it to someone else at a higher price.
-
Manias involve frenzied purchases, often accompanied by an increase in prices and trading volumes.
-
The appearance of a mania raises the policy issue of whether governments should moderate price increases to reduce the likelihood or severity of banking crises.
-
During a crisis, government intervention may be desirable to provide stability.
-
The role of a lender of last resort in coping with a crash or panic is fraught with ambiguity and dilemma.
-
The monetary aspects of manias and panics are important and are examined at length in the book.
-
Waves of surges in credit supply and subsequent banking crises since the mid-1970s suggest that market events have become more global.
-
Every currency crisis has been associated with a banking crisis in the last 40 years.
-
Currency crises are manifestations of the decline in cross-border investment inflows on the price of a country's currency and the ability of indebted borrowers to pay interest on their foreign indebtedness.The Stylized Model of Financial Crises and Speculation
-
The model of speculation, credit expansion, financial distress, and crisis is presented in Chapter 2.
-
The Minsky model argues that the financial system in a market economy is unstable, fragile, and prone to crisis.
-
The Minsky model has explanatory power for earlier crises in the United States, Western Europe, Japan, and several other countries.
-
Each crisis followed a surge in real estate prices that followed from an increase in the supplies of credit.
-
Chapter 3 examines whether markets in securities and real estate are always rational or whether speculation can be destabilizing.
-
The nature of the outside, exogenous shock that triggers the mania is examined in different historical settings.
-
A recent shock has been financial liberalization or deregulation in several countries.
-
Deregulation has led to both domestic monetary expansion and to increases in borrowing in foreign centers to finance domestic loans and speculative investment.
-
Investors have speculated in commodities, agricultural land, urban building sites, railroads, new banks, discount houses, stocks, bonds (both foreign and domestic), glamour stocks, conglomerates, condominiums, shopping centers, and office buildings.
-
Moderate excesses burn themselves out without significant damage to the economy although individual investors encounter large losses.
-
The monetary dimensions of both manias and panics are analyzed in Chapter 4.
-
The occasions when a boom or a panic has been triggered by a monetary event are noted.
