17. The British attempt to manage long-term interest rates in 1962–1964.

Author

Allen, William A.

Subjects
INTEREST rate policy, MONETARY policy, GOVERNMENT securities, FINANCIAL markets, HISTORY
Abstract

The British monetary authorities tried to encourage lower long-term interest rates through their government debt management operations between 1962 and 1964, following the Radcliffe report's recommendation that they should have an objective for long-term rates, and with the intention of supporting the government's pursuit of faster economic growth. The implementation of the policy was complicated by the Bank of England's role as a market maker in the government securities market, and beset by misunderstandings among the monetary authorities. The policy was abandoned when the conditions of strong market demand for bonds on which it depended changed. The article describes how the policy was developed and implemented, and the impact of political preferences on it. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

19. Banking crises and the international monetary system in the Great Depression and now.

Author

Moessner, Richhild and Allen, William A.

Subjects
GREAT Depression, 1929-1939, GLOBAL Financial Crisis, 2008-2009, FINANCIAL crises, CENTRAL banking industry, LIQUIDITY (Economics), FOREIGN exchange rates, HISTORY
Abstract

We identify similarities and differences in the scale and nature of the banking crises in 2008-9 and the Great Depression, and analyse differences in the policy response to the two crises in light of the prevailing international monetary systems. We find that the scale of the banking crisis, as measured by falls in international short-term indebtedness and total bank deposits, was smaller in 2008-9 than in 1931. However, central bank liquidity provision was larger in the flexible exchange rate environment of 2008-9 than in 1931, when it had been constrained in many countries by the gold standard.

21. DISCUSSION.

Author

Allen, William R., Samuels, Warren J., and Scoville, Warren C.

Subjects
HISTORY of economics, ECONOMIC history, HISTORY, ECONOMIC policy, ECONOMICS, COMMERCIAL policy, ECONOMIC structure, ECONOMIC development
Abstract

This article focuses on the relation of the history of economic thought to economic history. One of the central strands in the history of economic thought is the theory of economic policy. Certainly one viable contribution that the historian of thought can make is the delineation of its fundamentals and through this the reinterpretation and more complete understanding of historic policy systems such as the classical theory of economic policy in terms of these fundamentals. Through such efforts the historian of thought would be not only a more sophisticated chronicler of the past but also an important participant in the formulation of policy analysis itself. Neither economic thought nor economic history is inherently the independent or the dependent variable; they mutually interact, as do all forces in this world. In particular cases and for specific purposes we may be justified in treating one as the independent variable and the other as the dependent, in much the same way economists use marginal analysis at times to sharpen their focus on the causal relationship between what are really mutually interdependent variables.
