Abstract

Public debt in developing economies rose at a fast clip during 2020-2021, at least partly due to the onset of the global COVID-19 pandemic. Nobel laureate Paul Krugman opined in early 2021 that 'fighting covid is like fighting a war.' This paper empirically examines trends in debt and economic growth around the onset of three types of calamities, namely natural disasters, armed conflicts, and external debt distress in developing countries. The estimations provide quantitative estimates of differences in GDP growth and debt trends in economies suffering episodes of calamities relative to the trends observed in economies not experiencing calamities. The paper finds that debt and growth evolve quite differently depending on the type of calamity. With the empirical evidence in hand, the authors argue that debt-financed reconstruction efforts after natural disasters, and thus plausibly in the aftermath of the pandemic, can help accelerate growth after such disasters with lower debt burden than in the aftermath of episodes of armed conflict without necessarily incurring the economic costs associated with episodes of debt restructuring. However, the implied upward trajectory of the debt to GDP ratio in developing economies is not trivial, even after post-disaster growth upticks, which raises concerns about long-term debt sustainability after episodes of reconstruction after natural disasters. If so, the time for orderly preemptive debt restructuring might be approaching quickly since recoveries after debt defaults tend to be more costly. JEL Classification Q54 * E6 * H6, 1 Introduction 'Fighting Covid is like fighting a war.' Paul Krugman, New York Times, February 7, 2021. At the time of writing, the COVID-19 pandemic was still ravaging the world. [...]

33. Declining Responsiveness at the Establishment Level: Sources and Productivity Implications

Author

Cooper, Russell, Haltiwanger, John, and Willis, Jonathan

Subjects
Banking, finance and accounting industries, Business
Abstract

This paper studies competing sources of declining dynamism. Evidence shows that an important component of this decline is accounted for by the reduction in the response of employment to shocks in US establishments. Using a plant-level dynamic optimization problem as a framework for analysis, four potential reasons for this decline are studied: (i) a change in exogenous processes for profits, (ii) an increase in impatience, (iii) increased market power, and (iv) increasing adjustment costs. We identify and quantity the contribution of each of these factors building on a simulated method of moments estimation of our structural model. Our results indicate that the reduction in responsiveness largely reflects increased costs of employment adjustment. Changes in market power, as captured by changes in the curvature of the revenue function, play a minimal role. But, in the presence of rising adjustment costs, measured sales-weighted markups using the recently popular indirect production approach rise substantially, along with rising dispersion and skewness of such measured markups. JEL classification: E24, E32, J23 Key words: declining dynamism, adjustment costs, employment, Working Paper 2024-3 1 Motivation The decline in dynamism in US establishments is well documented. In the 1980s, the pace of job reallocation across establishments in the US private non-farm [...]

40. The Incidence of Capital Flow Management Measures: Observations from a New Database

Author

Subjects
Capital movements -- Management -- Measurement, Econometrics -- Methods, Company business management, Banking, finance and accounting industries, Business, Business, international
Abstract

This paper presents a highly granular database of nearly 500 capital flow management measures (CFMs) that cover 14 instruments and 49 countries at monthly frequency between 2008 and 2021. It sheds light on the incidence of CFMs along previously unexplored dimensions such as the nature of instruments used, and the asset class and direction of capital flows to which they were targeted. The paper also presents new indices of capital account policies to characterize the usage, stance and intensity of CFM policies. In comparison with existing indices of capital controls, we find that our data reveal significant intra-year changes in CFMs even when other indices exhibit stability over long periods. We find that a 'stock-taking' version of our data generates similar assessments about episodic versus long-standing controls as some other indices, suggesting that existing indices may be capturing low-frequency characteristics of capital account policies. Mahir Binici is a senior economist in the European Department of the IMF. Previously, he worked in the Strategy, Policy, and Review Department, where he focused on external policy issues, including those related to India. Prior to joining the IMF, he held positions as an economist at the Central Bank of Turkey and the European Central Bank. Mitali Das is an Advisor in the Fiscal Affairs Department of the IMF. Previously, she was Co-Chair of the IMF flagship publication, External Sector Report, led the analytical work on unemployment dynamics and labor shares for the World Economic Outlook, served on the IMF missions to China, Japan, and Nauru, and in the Office of the Chief Economist. Prior to the IMF, Ms. Das held academic appointments at Columbia University, Harvard University, Dartmouth College, and the University of California Davis. Evgenia Pugacheva is a research officer in the Research Department of the IMF, where she works on the World Economic Outlook report.

Abstract

We propose an approach for Bayesian inference in time-varying structural vector autoregressions (SVARs) identified with sign restrictions. The linchpin of our approach is a class of rotation-invariant time-varying SVARs in which the prior and posterior densities of any sequence of structural parameters belonging to the class are invariant to orthogonal transformations of the sequence. Our methodology is new to the literature. In contrast to existing algorithms for inference based on sign restrictions, our algorithm is the first to draw from a uniform distribution over the sequences of orthogonal matrices given the reduced-form parameters. We illustrate our procedure for inference by analyzing the role played by monetary policy during the latest inflation surge. JEL classification: C11, C51, E52, E58 Key words: time-varying parameters, structural vector autoregressions, identification, 1 Introduction Structural vector autoregressions (SVARs) featuring time-varying parameters are commonly used in empirical macroeconomics to study a wide range of classical questions such as the economic consequences of policy [...]

Abstract

Our paper analyzes the role of public employment agencies in job matching, in particular the effects of the restructuring of the Federal Employment Agency in Germany (Hartz III labor market reform) for aggregate matching and unemployment. Based on two microeconomic datasets, we show that the market share of the Federal Employment Agency as job intermediary declined after the Hartz reforms. We propose a macroeconomic model of the labor market with a private and a public search channel and fit the model to various dimensions of the data. We show that direct intermediation activities of the Federal Employment Agency did not contribute to the decline in unemployment in Germany. By contrast, improved activation of unemployed workers reduced unemployed by 0.8 percentage points. Through the lens of an aggregate matching function, more activation is associated with a larger matching efficiency. JEL Classification E24 * E00 * E60, 1 Introduction Labor market reforms are a standard recommendation of international organizations to bring down unemployment (e.g., Cacciatore et al. 2016; Cacciatore and Fiori 2016; Duval and Furceri 2018; IMF [...]

Subjects
Economic research, Political risk -- Research, External debt relief -- Research, Banking, finance and accounting industries, Business, Business, international
Abstract

We examine the link between sovereign defaults and credit risk by distinguishing between commercial and official debt and by taking into account the extent of the final restructuring events, which take place at the end of a default spell. We use a local projection-based approach, combined with propensity score weighting (Jorda and Taylor 2016), to estimate the average treatment effect of the final restructuring on our outcome variables of agency ratings and bond yield spreads. Our results show that the average treatment effect on ratings is negative (and positive for bond spreads) up to seven years following the final restructuring with private creditors, while the opposite holds for official creditors. Furthermore, our results are robust to using a panel analysis, which allows us to investigate the importance of the final haircut size. Specifically, we find that the rating (spread) variation (increase) is larger for cases with deeper haircuts. Therefore, we find evidence that official and private defaults have different costs and then may induce selective defaults. Keywords Sovereign defaults * Haircut * Credit rating agencies * Bond yield spreads * Local projection JEL Classification F34 * G15 * G24 * H63, 1 Introduction In the wake of adverse global shocks such as the Covid-19 pandemic or recent geopolitical crises, a prolonged economic slowdown looms (particularly for developing countries) and hence a [...]

Abstract

We provide a systematic empirical analysis of short-term covered interest parity (CIP) deviations for a large set of emerging market (EM) currencies. EM CIP deviations tend to be wider and more volatile compared to most G10 currencies, and may move in an opposite direction compared to G10 currencies during global risk-off episodes. Motivated by theories of financial determinants of exchange rate, we show that while offshore EM CIP deviations are sensitive to changes in FX dealers' risk-bearing capacities and global risk aversion, onshore CIP deviations are largely unresponsive in segmented FX markets. Meanwhile, the sensitivity of offshore CIP deviations to global factors for currencies with segmented FX markets is stronger compared to their counterparts with integrated FX markets. After accounting for global factors, we find weak evidence of country default risk and FX intervention affecting EM CIP deviations. JEL Classification G15 * F31, 1 Introduction More than three decades ago, Krugman and Obstfeld's (1988) bestselling international economics textbook introduced Covered Interest Parity (CIP) as the 'Basic Equilibrium Condition' to understand foreign exchange (FX) [...]

Abstract

Rare disaster models assume that growth is afflicted by a negative-mean and left-skewed component, which, if eliminated, could produce first-order welfare gains, unlike other models of business cycle costs. This paper introduces a new test to show that many if not most business cycles are asymmetric in this way, and resemble 'mini-disasters' in addition to the widely studied rare disaster events with which we are familiar, typically wars. Using long-run historical data, we show empirically that this holds for advanced economies since 1870 in peacetime. We develop a tractable local projection framework to estimate consumption processes in normal and financial crisis recessions. Introducing random coefficient local projections, we get an easy and transparent mapping from estimates to a calibrated simulation model of disasters with variable severity. Our simulations show that substantial welfare costs arise from the smaller but more frequent mini-disasters. On average, even with low risk aversion, households would be willing to pay between 5 and 12% of deterministic consumption to avoid these events based on their average historical frequency and severity. JEL Classification El3 * E21 * E22 * E32, 1 Introduction A great deal of research in macroeconomics is aimed at understanding the business cycle and thinking about policy responses to dampen cyclical fluctuations. In standard models, agents are [...]
