Ebook Do Credit Shocks Matter? A Global Perspective

Submitted by puput on Thu, 08/05/2010 - 02:29

The global financial crisis of 2007-09 that originated in U.S. credit markets rapidly spread across borders and led to recessions or severe downturns in almost all advanced economies and many emerging economies at the same time. The global reach and depth of the crisis, which are without precedent in the post-World War II period, have renewed interest in the linkages between the real economy and credit markets and have triggered an intensive debate about the importance of shocks originating in financial markets for business cycles. Our objective in this paper is to attempt to answer one of the central questions of this debate: Do credit shocks matter in the global economy?

We study this question by analyzing the importance of a fairly comprehensive set of shocks in the context of G-7 countries. We estimate common components of various macroeconomic and financial variables, and examine the roles played by credit shocks in explaining global business cycles employing a set of VAR models. In addition, we study the transmission of credit shocks in the U.S. to the global economy using a factor-augmented VAR (FAVAR). Our results suggest that credit shocks play an important role in the global recessions.

Ebook Diversification benefits of emerging markets subject to portfolio constraints

Submitted by puput on Fri, 06/24/2011 - 02:34

An important issue in international economics concerns the size of benefits from diversifying over securities in foreign countries, especially securities in emerging markets. In theory, if foreign securities do not perfectly correlate with U.S. securities, domestic investors gain from international diversification. However, the magnitude of the diversification benefits in general depends on various portfolio constraints, such as investors ability to take short positions.

Ebook Learning-by-Doing, Scale Efficiencies, and Financial Performance at Internet-Only Banks

Submitted by puput on Mon, 01/04/2010 - 03:27

The Internet has become a major distribution channel for U.S. banks and thrifts. Nearly two thousand banks and thrifts have established transactional websites since 1997. Most of these websites are deployed by banks and thrifts alongside traditional brick and mortar branches in a “click and mortar” banking model. The core of this distribution strategy is to route repetitive, low-value-added transactions through the inexpensive, low-touch Internet channel, while routing low-volume, high-value-added transactions through expensive, high-touch brick and mortar branches. In contrast, only a handful of these websites are used as the sole delivery channel in a stand-alone, “Internet-only” banking model. The core of this distribution strategy is to leverage the savings from eliminating physical overhead into better prices and faster growth.

To date, most Internet-only banks and thrifts have struggled for profitability. Some independent Internet-only banks have responded to low profits by abandoning the pure Internet business model and adding physical branches, and some large banks have responded to poor performance at their “trade name” Internet-only units by integrating them back into the main bank. At mid-year 2001, only about two dozen U.S. banks and thrifts are operating as separately chartered virtual banks without any full service branches. (For convenience, the generic term “banks” will often be used in place of “banks and thrifts” for the remainder of the paper.)
