For sections between Th Feb 24 @ 12:30 and Th Mar 3 @ 11:00: Read chapters 9-15 on the bubble in subprime mortgages: how mortgage companies, banks, and investors concluded that diversified investments in even risky mortgages carried very little risk indeed...
For sections between Th Mar 10@ 12:30 and Th Mar 17 @ 11:00: Read chapters 16-19 on how the smart guys go short: how the more clever of the investment banks began to figure out ways to profit from the forthcoming housing crash, but how the bulk of investment and commercial bankers were not so clever...
For sections in the first week after spring break: Read chapters 20-Epilogue on the slow-motion panic that was the impulse that generated our current economic downturn...

Foreigners and confidence will pick out a point on the x-axis...
Fiscal policy will shift the IS curve left or right from that point on the x-axis...
Monetary policy and financial markets give you a real interest rate that picks out a point on the IS curve...
And that tells you what the level of icnome and spending in the economy is...
Using the IS Curve...

Suppose imy=0.2, cy=1.0, t=0.2, Ir=25, Xε=1, εr=5. Suppose that the Federal Reserve and financial markets together raise the long-term risky real interest rate r by 2%. What will happen to Y?
A. Y will rise by $1.5 trillion/year B. Y will rise by $0.6 trillion/year C. Y will rise by $1.0 trillion/year D. Y will fall by $0.6 trillion/year E. Y will fall by $1.5 trillion/year

Aggregate demand—the IS curve—depends on the long-term, risky, real interest rate r
The Federal Reserve by buying and selling short-term government bonds for cash can set the interest rate for short term, safe, nominal government bonds i wherever it wants.
But there is a lot of slippage between i and r.

— No. The Federal Reserve can act inside the rest of the government’s decision loop...
— And the Federal Reserve has its own strong views about what the level and changes in real GDP Y should be...
—So in normal times have congress and the president worry about what are good spending programs and what are not good spending programs, and how to raise the taxes to pay for them...
— And let the Federal Reserve worry about managing aggregate demand...
— But these are not normal times, are they?

Sending Investment Spending and Exports Down...
Higher interest rates discourage investment by businesses—if they can borrow money at all...
Higher interest rates raise the value of the dollar—and hence discourage exports...
And foreigners’ incomes are collapsing as well, putting further downward pressure on exports...
And as incomes fall, consumption spending falls as well...

Types of Recessions Erica Groshen and Simon Potter (2003), "Has Structural
Change Contributed to a Jobless Recovery?" (New York: Federal Reserve Bank of New York): The sluggishness of payroll growth during the 1991-92 and current recoveries stands in sharp contrast to the vigorous rebound in employment during earlier recoveries. To be sure, these earlier recoveries had rocky moments, with occasional jobless intervals. At the start of any recovery, many employers will delay hires or recalls for a time to be certain that the increase in demand will continue. Nevertheless, although the job market resurgence in the past may often have lagged the output recovery by one quarter, only during the two most recent recoveries has the divergence between job and output growth persisted for a longer period.
![Page 37: 20110224 ias 107 liquidity-money](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022020421/568bf4141a28ab89339cae66/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Types of Recessions Erica Groshen and Simon Potter (2003), "Has Structural
Change Contributed to a Jobless Recovery?" (New York: Federal Reserve Bank of New York): The divergent paths of output and employment in 1991-92 and 2002-03 suggest the emergence of a new kind of recovery, one driven mostly by productivity increases rather than payroll gains.... Recessions mix cyclical and structural adjustments. Cyclical adjustments are reversible responses to lulls in demand, while structural adjustments transform a firm or industry by relocating workers and capital. The job losses associated with cyclical shocks are temporary: at the end of the recession, industries rebound and laid-off workers are recalled to their old firms or readily find comparable employment with another firm...
![Page 38: 20110224 ias 107 liquidity-money](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022020421/568bf4141a28ab89339cae66/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Types of Recessions Erica Groshen and Simon Potter (2003), "Has
Structural Change Contributed to a Jobless Recovery?" (New York: Federal Reserve Bank of New York): Job losses that stem from structural changes, however, are permanent: as industries decline, jobs are eliminated, compelling workers to switch industries, sectors, locations, or skills in order to find a new job. A preponderance of structural--as opposed to cyclical--adjustments during the most recent recession would help to explain why employment has languished during the recovery. If job growth now depends on the creation of new positions in different firms and industries, then we would expect a long lag before employment rebounded....

Types of Recessions Erica Groshen and Simon Potter (2003), "Has Structural
Change Contributed to a Jobless Recovery?" (New York: Federal Reserve Bank of New York): The difference from the pattern of the early 1980s is quite stark: now, the industries cluster heavily in the two structural quadrants. Most of the industries that lost jobs during the recession—for example, communications, electronic equipment, and securities and commodities brokers—are still losing jobs. Balancing the structural losses of these industries, however, are the structural gains of others. For example, nondepository financial institutions, an industry grouping that includes mortgage brokers, added jobs during both the recession and the recovery...
