Survival of the Interest Rate Based Debt Financing System
Evidence has been mounting (over the centuries) that the interest based debt financing regime is under ever increasing distress. All of the earlier crises whatever label they carried− exchange rate crisis or banking crisis – have been debt crises in essence. At the present, empirical research suggests that the debt-to-GDP ratio of the richest members of the G-20 threatens to touch 120% m...
متن کاملNonlinear Interest Rate Reaction Functions for the UK∗
We empirically analyze Taylor-type equations for short-term interest rates in the United Kingdom using quarterly data from 1970Q1 to 2006Q2. Starting from strong evidence against a simple linear Taylor rule, we model nonlinearities using logistic smooth transition regression (LSTR) models. The LSTR models with time varying parameters consistently track actual interest rate movements better than...
متن کاملInvestigating the Relationship between the Facility Interest Rate and the Bank Deposit Interest Rate in Iran
The facility interest rate is one of the most important macroeconomic variables. The bank facility interest rate is associated with other macro-economic variables, one of which is the bank deposit interest rate. Using the time series data of the 1973-2017 period and the simultaneous equation system, the researchers estimated four equations using the three-stage least squares method.The result o...
متن کاملMacro-Economic Impacts of Lowering Interest Rate: A Real-Financial CGE Evaluation for Iran
In Iran, interest rate is regulated by government by setting a ceiling for the credits allocated to various economic sectors. In recent years, the old theory of financial repression in the form of reducing interest rate of credits has been considered as a necessity to stimulate and encourage investment and economic sectors expansion in Iran. This study investigates the effects of this poli...
متن کاملCommodity Market Interest and Asset Return Predictability ∗
We establish several new findings on the relation between open interest in commodity markets and asset returns. High commodity market activity, as measured by high open-interest growth, predicts high commodity returns and low bond returns. Openinterest growth is a more powerful and robust predictor of commodity returns than other known predictors such as the short rate, the yield spread, the ba...
