11 Preface The book extends an article that I wrote for the Journal of Economic Issues, titled A Template for a Public Credit Rating Agency. The challenge was not simply to reiterate and provide more detail on the vision in the article but also to discuss such how such an institution could stabilize and promote investment activity, encourage lending and growth. Reviewer feedback from the book proposal also suggested that the book address issues such as the robustness of Ricardian equivalence and the influence of regulatory capture on the rating industry, among other things. This book is the product of those exchanges. This project a public credit rating agency was motivated by my desire to come up with something different for stabilizing an economy. There has got to be another way forward on policy and its design than to simply add to the discourse about the relevance and effectiveness of fiscal and monetary policies. For me, new directions ultimately lie in the vision one holds about the inherent nature of investment is it an activity that helps to stabilize an economy or one that destabilizes an economy? One s answer to this response highly influences how one thinks about policy. On the one hand, for mainstream economists the vision is that investment activities promote stability. Mainstream economic policies are primarily oriented to support investment s stabilizing nature by unleashing the power of the markets. On the other hand, for most heterodox (nonmainstream) economists, investment activities are destabilizing. As such, overreliance on the market mechanism ultimately promotes instability. The stance taken here is that investment is inherently destabilizing and what follows will flow from this perspective. This book explores the implications of that distinction for evaluations of creditworthiness, with particular focus on credit rating agencies as the leading, and most publicly accessible, assessors of credit risk. It is important to bear in mind that although the rating agencies are criticized over their ratings of structured finance instruments, they also assess variety of other instruments and issuers that are more
12 xii P REFACE closely related to productive investment. If the pace of productive investment is influenced by assessments of credit risk, such as ratings, it is important to address the issues concerning the accuracy of ratings, particularly in this context. Are they as accurate as they could be? The presence of a public credit rating agency could stimulate developments that improve the quality and timeliness of ratings, and assessment of creditworthiness more generally. Benchmarks and instruments can be devised that supplement the use of interest policy to promote the stability of financial systems. Moreover, if a public crediting agency were to be coupled with an industrial policy, it could stabilize not only investment but also everything that investment activities influence, such as profit, income, employment, and economic growth. This does not imply that growth needs to necessarily increase at breakneck speed. Slower growth that is targeted to support civilian industries can be just as powerful, if not more so, for setting the foundations for more stable and just societies in the future. Of late, there has been renewed thinking on industrial policy. However, the basis of the discussion still rests on a vision in which investment promotes the stability of an economic system. As will be discussed in the coming chapters, an implication of this vision is that the success of industrial policy rests on worker productivity. Viewed from the perspective of heterodoxy, productive workers are great. However, productivity is not enough to stabilize investment and keep it profitable. There needs to be an effort to support the absorption of supply of goods and services, especially for activities related to civilian industries. Stable growth and income also means stable tax revenues for governments, which, in turn, will help them reduce their reliance on financing current expenditures with new debt. It would also give them the ability to create plans for debt reduction. The creditworthiness of firms ultimately impacts the creditworthiness of sovereigns; in turn, the performance of these instruments supports the health of banks and other financial institutions and investors. The rating agencies understand the importance of economic performance and structure for the resilience of governments fiscal positions. However, the assessments of governments and firms may be overlooking important dynamics associated with investment. An important consideration is whether investment should be considered an inherently destabilizing activity. Revisiting the work of Hyman Minsky and other heterodox economists can provide insights into why that would be the case. What the dominant methods for evaluating creditworthiness may be overlooking is examined here, and how the oversights may explain
13 P REFACE xiii the sluggishness and pro-cyclicality in the quality and timeliness of assessment revisions, such as rating changes. Toward these ends, a public credit rating agency could provide the space and support to come up with improvements to default and credit risk assessment, and not just for governments and corporations (nonfinancial and financial), but also for assessments of individuals and small- and medium-sized firms (SMEs) in a variety of industries and regions. At this point, an examination of Ricardian equivalence is especially helpful. Ricardian equivalence requires a very specific context in order to have analytical merit. Once debunked, the tax and debt policy options widen considerably to support a Public Credit Rating Agency (PCRA), the justification for reinvigorating industrial policy and the creation of an insurance scheme to protect the trade credits of SMEs, all of which could contribute to the public s interest by stabilizing what is an inherently unstable economy. Please note that I tried to cast the discussion as simply as possible in order to facilitate understanding by those who do not possess sophisticated training in economics. Throughout this project I was reminded of my discussions with my dad about my research interests. The quantitative details were always a bit tough going. I tried to minimize them here. I would like to thank the various academics whom I approached to provide feedback on aspects of this project. I also thank the staff at Palgrave Macmillan Sarah Lawrence, Leila Campbell, and Leighton Lustig for their patience, professionalism, and encouragement. Last, but not least, I would like to thank my support network family members and friends for their patience while listening to me (occasionally) whinge out of fear and frustration. Special thanks to Mrs. Sheila Simpson-Lee for her generous donation of history of thought materials to support this project and others in the works. And, my thanks to anyone who may have been inadvertently overlooked. I hope that you will find this book to be insightful and stimulating. The errors are my own.
