The liquidity trap

If you think that lower interest rates would reinvigorate demand, consider this quote from Bob Campbell in the San Diego Real Estate Timing newsletter:

"When an asset like real estate becomes overvalued, even if you drop interest rates to zero, you can't force consumers to borrow more, because they've already borrowed too much. Nor can you force lenders to lend, because they're already puking on 'bad paper.' It's called a liquidity trap."

Is the yield curve back to the 1950s-1960s?

Image
In recent years, the yield curve has flattened and shifted downwards. The flattening has received a lot of attention because it is viewed as a recessionary signal. In this article, we argue that the fact that the curve has shifted downwards as well as flattening indicates that the yield curve may have changed regime. This regime shift seems to have been caused by lower inflation expectations and lower risk premia. In an environment of lower inflation and lower risk premia, the yield curve may occasionally invert without signalling a recession as it did in 1966. 1. The recessionary signal Inversions of the yield curve have often been used to predict recessions. The 10-year to 3-month spread between US Treasury yields became briefly negative twice this year in March and the May (figure 1), spurring debate about whether this was signalling a forthcoming recession. The negative spread was mainly the result of a decrease of the 10-year yield – from 2.8 per cent on 1 March to 2.4 per cen...

Bernanke lectures - The Federal Reserve and the financial crisis

Image
In March, the Chairman of the Federal Reserve (ie the US Central Bank) gave a series of four lectures about the Federal Reserve system and the Financial Crisis to students of Georges Washington University. I have enclosed the videos of these classes. Dr. Bernanke, who is also a prominent academic researcher, is very skilled at explaining very complex problems with easy words. So, even non economists will find these lectures accessible and useful to understand the sequence of events that led to a global financial crisis and how the Federal Reserve responded to it. Let me give you a few extracts and comments that I found particularly worth highlighting: The three pillars of central bank action are: Monetary policy (setting interest rates) Provision of liquidity (lender of last resort) Financial regulation and supervision (shared with other agencies) "We did not foresee that declining house prices would trigger a financial crisis." This is an honest but clear ...

Negative rates, financial stability and old-style bank robbers

Image
One of the main means for a central bank to promote financial stability is to set the interest rate at which it lends to banks. The lower the rate, the bigger the incentive for banks to do loans to finance companies and consumers' projects. The relationship is straightforward as long as the interest rate stays positive. Indeed, if the interest rate turns negative, negative side effects start to come up, and the point of this article is to highlight those side effects. A Euro dipping in the Aegean sea, in front of Mount Olympus (picture from the author) 1. Which rates does a central bank set? A typical central bank actually sets 3 different rates: - Deposit facility rate (or fed funds rate in the USA) = defines the interest banks receive for depositing money with the central bank overnight. It is compulsory for banks to depose part of their capital at the central bank and this amount is called reserve. - Main refinancing rate (or discount rate in the USA) = defines th...
