ABSTRACT:After the global financial crisis, bank regulation became more stringent, and as a result the traditional banking system was well capitalized leading into the COVID-19 pandemic. But these same regulatory changes also incentivized a continuing migration of traditional banking activities to nonbank financial institutions (NBFIs), where looser regulation allowed for dangerous buildups of systemic risk. These risks were then realized across many NBFIs and markets in 2020. While legislation to harmonize regulation across these different domains would be desirable, we do not believe it likely in the foreseeable future. In this paper we propose a congruence principle for financial regulation, whereby regulators use existing statutory authority to coordinate rules across economically similar instruments. We provide examples of how such congruence could work for the cases of nonprime mortgage finance and the markets for US Treasury securities.
摘要:全球金融危机后,银行监管更加严格,传统银行体系资本充足,导致新冠肺炎疫情爆发。但是,这些监管变化也刺激了传统银行业务向非银行金融机构(nbfi)的持续迁移,在这些机构中,宽松的监管导致了系统性风险的危险积累。这些风险随后在2020年在许多nbfi和市场中实现。虽然立法协调这些不同领域的监管是可取的,但我们认为在可预见的未来不太可能实现。在本文中,我们提出了金融监管的一致性原则,即监管机构利用现有的法定权力来协调经济上类似工具的规则。我们提供了一些例子,说明这种一致性如何在非优质抵押贷款融资和美国国债市场中发挥作用。

ABSTRACT:How much larger would the US economic pie be if labor market outcomes were more equitably distributed by race and ethnicity? Using data from the Current Population Survey (1990–2019), we estimate the improvements in labor contribution to aggregate output associated with making the outcomes for Black, Hispanic, and other minority groups at least as favorable as those for non-Hispanic white individuals in employment, hours worked, educational attainment, educational utilization, and earnings. We find significant economic gains, measured in trillions of dollars of GDP. Our results indicate that ensuring all Americans have an equitable opportunity to participate in the economy is an economically significant way to increase aggregate prosperity.
摘要:如果劳动力市场的结果能更公平地按种族和民族分配,美国的经济蛋糕会有多大?利用当前人口调查(1990-2019)的数据,我们估计了劳动力对总产出贡献的改善,这与使黑人、西班牙裔和其他少数族裔群体在就业、工作时间、受教育程度、教育利用和收入方面至少与非西班牙裔白人一样有利有关。我们发现了显著的经济收益,以数万亿美元的GDP来衡量。我们的研究结果表明,确保所有美国人都有公平的机会参与经济是增加总体繁荣的经济重要途径。

ABSTRACT:We study the suspension of household debt payments (debt forbearance) during the COVID-19 pandemic. Between March 2020 and May 2021, more than 70 million consumers with loans worth $2.3 trillion entered forbearance, missing $86 billion of their payments. This debt relief can help explain the absence of consumer defaults relative to the evolution of economic fundamentals. Borrowers' self-selection is a powerful force in determining forbearance rates: relief flows to households suffering pandemic-induced shocks that would otherwise have faced debt distress. Moreover, 55 percent of forbearance is provided to less creditworthy borrowers with above median income and higher debt balances—that is, those excluded from income-based policies, such as the stimulus check program. A fifth of borrowers in forbearance continued making full payments, suggesting that forbearance acts as a credit line. By May 2021, about 60 percent of borrowers had already exited forbearance while more financially vulnerable and lower income borrowers were still in forbearance with an accumulated debt overhang of about $60 billion. Exploiting a discontinuity in mortgage eligibility under the CARES Act, we estimate that implicit government debt relief subsidies increase the rate of forbearance by about a third. Government relief is provided through private intermediaries, with shadow banks less likely to provide forbearance than traditional banks.
摘要:我们研究新冠肺炎疫情期间家庭债务支付暂停(债务延期)的情况。在2020年3月至2021年5月期间,超过7000万消费者的贷款总额为2.3万亿美元,进入了延期还款状态,拖欠了860亿美元的还款。这种债务减免可以帮助解释,相对于经济基本面的演变,消费者没有违约。借款人的自我选择是决定还贷率的强大力量:救助资金流向遭受流行病引发的冲击的家庭,否则这些家庭将面临债务困境。此外,55%的贷款被提供给了信用较差的借款人,他们的收入高于中位数,债务余额较高——也就是说,那些被排除在以收入为基础的政策之外的人,比如刺激支票计划。五分之一的缓期借款人继续全额还款,这表明缓期贷款起到了信用额度的作用。到2021年5月,约60%的借款人已经退出了还款期限,而经济上更脆弱、收入更低的借款人仍处于还款期限,累计债务约为600亿美元。利用《关怀法案》规定的抵押贷款资格的不连续性,我们估计,隐性政府债务减免补贴将使承付率提高了约三分之一。政府的救助是通过私人中介机构提供的,影子银行不太可能像传统银行那样提供宽免。

ABSTRACT:In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the financial and legal system will need to deal with a surge of financial distress in the business sector. Some firms will be able to survive, while others will face bankruptcy and thus need to be liquidated or reorganized. Many surviving firms will need to be downsized or acquired. In normal times, this triage is supported by the court system, banks, and financial markets. The goal of this paper is to size up the coming surge of financial distress, list the challenges it presents in the current environment, and offer potential policy solutions. Overall, our analysis suggests that the two key issues will be court congestion and excess liquidation and failure of small firms.
摘要:2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)大流行之后,金融和法律体系将需要应对商业部门财务困境的激增。一些公司将能够生存下来,而其他公司将面临破产,因此需要清算或重组。许多幸存下来的公司将需要缩减规模或被收购。在正常情况下,这种分类得到了法院系统、银行和金融市场的支持。本文的目标是评估即将到来的金融危机,列出当前环境下的挑战,并提供潜在的政策解决方案。总体而言,我们的分析表明,两个关键问题将是法院拥挤和小企业过度清算和破产。

ABSTRACT:The COVID-19 epidemic upended social and economic life in the United States. To reduce transmission, people altered their mobility and interpersonal contact, and state and local governments acted to induce social distancing through across-the-board policies. The epidemic and the subsequent social distancing response led to high unemployment and to efforts to reopen the economy using more-targeted virus mitigation policies.This paper makes five contributions to studying epidemic policy and mobility. First, we review COVID-19 research on mobility, labor markets, consumer behavior, and health. Second, we sketch a simple model of incentives and constraints facing individuals. Third, we propose a typology of government social distancing policies. Fourth, we review new databases measuring cellular mobility and contact. Fifth, we present regression evidence to help disentangle private versus policy-induced changes in mobility.During the shutdown phase, large declines in mobility occurred before states adopted stay-at-home (SAH) mandates and in states that never adopted them, suggesting that much of the decline was a private response to the risk of infection. Similarly, in the reopening phase mobility increased rapidly, mostly preceding official state reopenings, with policies explaining almost none of the increase.
摘要:新冠肺炎疫情颠覆了美国的社会和经济生活。为了减少传播,人们改变了他们的流动性和人际接触,州和地方政府通过全面政策采取行动,诱导社会保持距离。疫情和随后采取的保持社会距离措施导致了高失业率,并促使各国采取更有针对性的病毒缓解政策重新开放经济。本文对流行病政策和流动性的研究有五个贡献。首先,我们回顾了COVID-19在流动性、劳动力市场、消费者行为和健康方面的研究。其次,我们概述了个人面临的激励和约束的简单模型。第三,我们提出了政府社会距离政策的类型学。第四,我们回顾了测量蜂窝移动和接触的新数据库。第五,我们提出了回归证据,以帮助理清私人与政策引起的流动性变化。在停工阶段,流动性大幅下降发生在各州实施居家(SAH)规定之前和从未实施该规定的州,这表明大部分下降是私人对感染风险的反应。同样,在重新开放阶段,流动性迅速增加,主要是在官方重新开放之前,政策几乎不能解释这种增长。

Will the Secular Decline in Exchange Rate and Inflation Volatility Survive COVID-19? 汇率长期下跌和通胀波动能否挺过新冠疫情?
IF 5.9 3区 经济学 Q1 ECONOMICS Pub Date : 2020-11-01 DOI: 10.1353/eca.2020.0030

ABSTRACT:Over the twenty-first century, and especially since 2014, global exchange rate volatility has been trending downward, notably among the core G3 currencies (dollar, euro, and the yen), and to some extent the G4 (including China). This stability continued through the COVID-19 recession to date—unusual, as exchange volatility generally rises in US recessions. Compared with measures of stock price volatility, exchange rate volatility rivals the lows reached in the heyday of the Bretton Woods system of fixed exchange rates. This paper argues that the core driver is convergence in monetary policy, reflected in a sharp reduction of inflation and short- and especially long-term interest rate differentials. This unprecedented stability, which partially extends to emerging markets, is strongly reinforced by expectations that the zero bound will be significantly binding for advanced economies for years to come. We consider various hypotheses and suggest that the shutdown of monetary volatility is the leading explanation. The concluding part of the paper cautions that systemic economic crises often produce major turning points, so a collapse of this new and extended Bretton Woods II regime cannot be ruled out.
摘要:在21世纪,尤其是2014年以来,全球汇率波动率呈下降趋势,尤其是在核心G3货币(美元、欧元和日元)之间,在某种程度上也包括G4(包括中国)。到目前为止,这种稳定性在2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)经济衰退期间一直保持着——这很不寻常,因为在美国经济衰退期间,汇率波动通常会上升。与衡量股价波动率的指标相比,汇率波动率堪比固定汇率的布雷顿森林体系全盛时期所达到的低点。本文认为,核心驱动因素是货币政策的趋同,反映在通货膨胀和短期(尤其是长期)利率差异的急剧下降上。这种前所未有的稳定(部分延伸至新兴市场),在未来几年将对发达经济体产生重大约束的预期下得到了强有力的强化。我们考虑了各种假设,并提出货币波动的停止是主要的解释。论文的最后部分警告称,系统性经济危机往往会产生重大转折点,因此不能排除这种新的、扩展的布雷顿森林体系II崩溃的可能性。

Temporary Unemployment and Labor Market Dynamics during the COVID-19 Recession 2019冠状病毒病衰退期间的临时失业和劳动力市场动态

ABSTRACT:This paper develops a search-and-matching model that incorporates temporary unemployment and applies the model to study the labor market dynamics of the COVID-19 recession in the United States. We calibrate the model using panel data from the Current Population Survey for 2001–2019, and we find that the model-based job-finding rates match observed job-finding rates during the entire sample period and out of sample up through July 2020. We also find that the Beveridge curve is well behaved and that there is little change in market tightness in 2020 once we use the calibrated model to adjust for changes in the composition of the unemployed. We then use the model to project the path of unemployment over the next eighteen months. Under a range of assumptions about job losses and labor demand, our model predicts a more rapid recovery compared to a model that does not distinguish between temporary and permanent unemployment and compared to professional and academic forecasts. In order to rationalize the professional forecasts of the unemployment rate, some combination of the vacancy rate, the job-separation rate, and the recall rate of workers on temporary layoff must deteriorate substantially in the next several months.
摘要:本文建立了一个包含临时失业的搜索匹配模型,并应用该模型研究了新冠肺炎疫情下美国劳动力市场的动态变化。我们使用2001-2019年当前人口调查的面板数据校准了模型,发现基于模型的求职率与整个样本期间和截至2020年7月的样本外观察到的求职率相匹配。我们还发现,贝弗里奇曲线表现良好,一旦我们使用校准模型来调整失业人口构成的变化,2020年市场紧张程度几乎没有变化。然后我们用这个模型来预测未来18个月的失业趋势。在一系列关于失业和劳动力需求的假设下,与不区分暂时性和永久性失业的模型以及与专业和学术预测相比,我们的模型预测了更快的复苏。为了使对失业率的专业预测合理化,在接下来的几个月里,空缺率、离职率和临时解雇工人的召回率的某种组合必须大幅恶化。

Has the Paycheck Protection Program Succeeded? 薪水保护计划成功了吗?

ABSTRACT:Enacted March 27, 2020, the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) was the most ambitious and creative fiscal policy response to the pandemic recession in the United States. PPP offers forgivable loans—essentially grants—to businesses with 500 or fewer employees that meet certain requirements. In this paper, we present evidence that PPP has substantially increased the employment, financial health, and survival of small businesses, using data from Dun & Bradstreet, Inc. We use event studies and standard difference-in-differences models to estimate the effect of a small business applying for larger PPP loans and of a small business being eligible for PPP based on size. While our findings are informative, we believe it is too early to issue conclusive judgment on PPP's success. We offer lessons for the future from the PPP experience thus far.
摘要:2020年3月27日颁布的工资保护计划(PPP)是美国应对大流行经济衰退最雄心勃勃、最具创造性的财政政策。PPP为员工少于500人且满足一定要求的企业提供可免除的贷款——本质上是赠款。在本文中,我们使用邓白氏公司(Dun & Bradstreet, Inc.)的数据,提供证据证明PPP大幅提高了小企业的就业、财务健康和生存。我们使用事件研究和标准异中之差模型来估计小企业申请较大的PPP贷款和小企业根据规模有资格获得PPP的影响。虽然我们的发现提供了信息,但我们认为对PPP的成功做出结论性判断还为时过早。我们从迄今为止的PPP经验中为未来提供了经验教训。

ABSTRACT:This paper combines data on GDP and unemployment and from Google's COVID-19 Community Mobility Reports with data on deaths from COVID-19 to study the macroeconomic outcomes of the pandemic. We present results from an international perspective using data at the country level as well as results for individual US states and key cities throughout the world. The data from these different levels of geographic aggregation offer a remarkably similar view of the pandemic despite the substantial heterogeneity in outcomes. Countries like South Korea, Japan, Germany, and Norway and cities such as Tokyo and Seoul have comparatively few deaths and low macroeconomic losses. At the other extreme, New York City, Lombardy, the United Kingdom, and Madrid have many deaths and large macroeconomic losses. There are fewer locations that seem to succeed on one dimension but suffer on the other, but these include California and Sweden. The variety of cases potentially offers useful policy lessons regarding how to use non-pharmaceutical interventions to support good economic and health outcomes.
摘要:本文将GDP和失业率数据以及谷歌COVID-19社区流动性报告中的数据与COVID-19死亡数据相结合,研究大流行的宏观经济后果。我们使用国家层面的数据以及美国各州和世界各地主要城市的数据,从国际视角呈现结果。来自这些不同地理聚集水平的数据提供了关于大流行的非常相似的观点,尽管结果存在很大差异。韩国、日本、德国和挪威等国家以及东京和首尔等城市的死亡人数相对较少,宏观经济损失也较低。在另一个极端,纽约市、伦巴第、联合王国和马德里有许多人死亡,宏观经济损失巨大。很少有地方在一个方面取得了成功,但在另一个方面却遭受了损失,但这些地方包括加州和瑞典。各种各样的案例可能为如何利用非药物干预措施来支持良好的经济和健康结果提供有益的政策教训。
