Abstract

In this paper we show that measures of economic uncertainty (conditional volatility of consumption) predict and are predicted by valuation ratios at long horizons. Further we document that asset valuations drop as economic uncertainty rises that is, financial markets dislike economic uncertainty. Moreover, future earnings growth rates are sharply predicted by current price-earnings ratios. It seems that much of the variation in asset prices can be attributed to fluctuations in economic uncertainty and expected cash-flow growth. This empirical evidence is consistent with the implications of existing parametric general equilibrium models. Hence, the channels of fluctuating economic uncertainty and expected growth seem important for interpreting asset markets.

Abstract

This paper develops an alternative approach to the widely used Difference-In-Difference (DID) method for evaluating the effects of policy changes. In contrast to the standard approach, we introduce a nonlinear model that permits changes over time in the effect of unobservables (e.g., there may be a time trend in the level of wages as well as the returns to skill in the labor market). Further, our assumptions are independent of the scaling of the outcome. Our approach provides an estimate of the entire counterfactual distribution of outcomes that would have been experienced by the treatment group in the absence of the treatment, and likewise for the untreated group in the presence of the treatment. Thus, it enables the evaluation of policy interventions according to criteria such as a mean-variance tradeoff. We provide conditions under which the model is nonparametrically identified and propose an estimator. We consider extensions to allow for covariates and discrete dependent variables. We also analyze inference, showing that our estimator is root-N consistent and asymptotically normal. Finally, we consider an application.

Abstract

Depuis le milieu des années quatre-vingt-dix, les crises financières au Mexique, en Asie, en Russie ou en Argentine ont été les plus violentes connues par l'économie mondiale depuis les années trente. Mettant régulièrement en échec le FMI et les institutions de régulation nationales, elles ont imposé des coûts sociaux énormes, tandis que les marchés de capitaux internationaux étaient exposés à des vagues de contagion dangereuses. Comment analyser ces crises d'un nouveau type, produites par la globalisation financière ? Quelles ruptures successives expliquent leur amplification démesurée et la paralysie des régulateurs publics ? Quelles stratégies ont été adoptées pour leur répondre et comment s'explique leur relatif échec ? En s'appuyant notamment sur de larges enquêtes, l'auteur analyse la dynamique des principales crises survenues depuis 1995 et identifie ainsi les mécanismes de l'« économie de la panique ». En particulier, il montre comment les ruptures les plus graves, qui ont eu les conséquences les plus dangereuses pour la croissance future et pour les inégalités, s'expliquent par l'échec à protéger la monnaie et les droits de propriété, face au sauve-qui-peut. Or ces institutions d'une économie libérale, sur lesquelles repose in fine l'ordre des marchés, restent établies, et donc défendues face aux crises, principalement au plan national. Ce clivage avec les marchés globalisés devrait caractériser durablement la « globalisation partielle » que nous connaissons désormais. Il éclaire les crises nouvelles mais suggère aussi qu'une meilleure régulation financière appelle moins la création de nouvelles « institutions globales », qu'une coordination beaucoup plus rigoureuse entre les institutions nationales : les principes du multilatéralisme classique, formulés à Bretton Woods en 1944, garderaient ainsi toute leur validité face aux crises du XXIe siècle.
