Ebook The Time-Consistency of Government Debt and Institutional Restrictions on the Level of Debt

Submitted by wulan on Tue, 01/26/2010 - 07:29

Since Kydland and Prescott (1977)’s advocacy for rules rather than discretion, there has been a lot of debate about how much we should tie the hands of the policymaker in order to reduce or eliminate time-inconsistency problems. In this paper we study the time inconsistency problem of government debt. As earlier literature illustrates, governments are tempted to default on and to devaluate (through the manipulation of the interest rate) their debt obligations. Moreover, the higher is the level of government debt the larger the government’s temptation. Is then desirable to impose an institutional constraint on the amount of government debt?

Many countries have recently adopted limits on government debt. There are two main arguments in favor, namely, these debt limits may lessen time-inconsistency problems; and they may help prevent excessive government spending. The main argument against is that they may reduce the flexibility of the government in response to shocks. This paper attempts to isolate the effect of debt limits on the time-inconsistency problem of government debt.

Ebook Fiscal Dominance And Inflation Targeting: Lessons From Turkey

Submitted by wulan on Fri, 05/21/2010 - 06:24

In mid-May 2001, just three months after the February crisis, Turkey started to implement a new economic program. One major integral part of the program was to overhaul the failing banking system.

The rescue program for the banking sector, inevitably, increased public debt-to-GDP ratio sharply. Therefore, other targets of the program, i.e. macroeconomic discipline and the ambitious agenda for structural reforms had to be achieved under severe fiscal dominance.

Ebook Credit Risk versus Capital Requirements under Basel II: Are SME Loans and Retail Credit Really Different?

Submitted by wulan on Thu, 12/10/2009 - 02:54

Although non-financial corporate debt (bond issues and privately issued debt) has become more common in the past 10-20 years, bank loans are still the prime source of business finance, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). As a consequence, banks’ ex-ante assessment of the riskiness of loan applicants and the resulting decision to grant credit (or not) at some risk-adjusted interest rate, is of great importance for businesses. Bank regulators increasingly lean on the risk assessments made by banks: in the Basel Committee’s proposal for new capital adequacy rules, the so called Basel II Accord, internal risk ratings produced by banks have been given a prominent role.

Unlike previous regulation, the rules of Basel II will make the size of the required buffer capital contingent on a bank’s appraisal of ex-ante individual counterpart risk. It will be up to each bank to characterize the riskiness of the counterparts and loans in its portfolio by means of a relatively small number of risk categories or ”rating classes”. A special feature of the new regulation is that retail credit and loans to SMEs will receive a different treatment than corporate loans and will require less regulatory capital for given default probabilities. The main reason for this differential treatment is the supposedly low correlation between small business loans. Their risk is generally thought to be largely of an idiosyncratic nature.
