1 Economics 721 International Finance
2 Week I
3 Lecture 1: Introduction
4 What is financial globalization? The increasing importance and even dominance of international financial transactions in the global economy. This affects economic growth, stability and equality.
5 What has been the Impact of Financial Globalization? Economic growth Inequality Instability Distribution of power classes, nations Trajectory of national economics and world economy
6 What are the contradictions and trajectories of this phase of global capitalist development?
7 What has been the impact on the ability of national institutions the state to chart their own courses?
8 Fred Block: Distinction between open and closed economies
9 Distinction between open and closed NOT whether there are international flows of goods or finance, but whether these are dominated by international capitalist markets and institutions, as opposed to national capitalists states or other noncapitalist institutions
10 Block: Goals of US in post wwii reconstruction To get other countries to adopt open economies Not just fighting communism but also national capitalist economies in europe and elsewhere
11 US Capitalists, and economy benefit But finance dominated by industry
12 Eric Helleiner Over post-war period, finance makes a come back. Increase financial power over the period. Now, many argue that the power of finance supreme (Dumenil and Levy, Crotty)
13 Obstfeld and Taylor Organize their history by idea of trilemma in international economy.
14 Bradford
15
16 Questions about Trilemma How do governments choose where on triangle to be? What are the role of class forces and coalitions? What is the role of underlying productive structre?
17 Questions about Trilemma What are the impacts of different choices in terms of income distribution, economic growth, class power? Where do IMF/World Bank push countries to be and why? Domestic capitalists? What are their interests?
18 Capital Mobility and Financialization Finance push for financial liberalization and capital mobility What are impacts?
19 Summary of Two Related Framework: Trilemma and policy Choice Trilemma Stable Exchange Rate Free capital mobility Autonomous macroeconomic policy Conflicts Capital labor Finance industry Center periphery (country s location in the international economy and structure of corporate governance and financial markets)
20 Two other big frameworks of great relevance to understanding dynamics of international finance I. International Monetary Regime Organization of the International Monetary System 2. International Credit Regime - organization of the supply, demand and enforcement of credit relations
21 International Trade Regime This is a third framework of key importance But we will not directly address this much in this class except where it clearly and significantly interacts with the other two
22 International Monetary Regime - It Involves: Exchange Rate Mechanism (fixed; floating; managed) Currency (ies) Used in various roles Reserve currency International medium (a) of exchange International means of payment N-1 Country Mechanisms of coordination and monitoring
23 Which Countries can issue hard currencies Key divide in global economy (medium of exchange, and means of payment dollars; pesos?)
24 Key Currencies Store of value (reserves) Medium of exchange (vehicle currency) Intervention currency (intervene in foreign exchange markets) Means of payment (service debts)
25 International Monetary Systems See next slide
26
27 International Credit Regime: Has Two Components Operating in Tandem Enforcement Regime: The institutions and policies implemented by creditors to punish non-payment and reward payment Repayment Regime: the institutions and policies implemented by debtors to credibly signal that they will repay
28 International Credit Regime has a Third Component Working in Tension with the Other Two The Keynesian/Mynskian Imperative: Competition, behavioral aspects, and fundamental uncertainty: Excessive lending and bubbles
29 Enforcement Regime in Tension and Contradiction Enforcement Regime Repayment Regime Keynsian/Minskian Imperatives
30 Current Aspects of International Credit Regime
31
32 International Credit Regime (continued)
33 Implicit in These are Different Theories/Models of International Capital Markets
34 Different Theories Walrasian: interest rates clear markets; exogenous enforcement of contracts; rationality and perfect information New Keynesian/Asymmetric Information: non-market clearing; non exogenous enforcement; principal-agent problems Power Laden: non exogenous enforcement (marxian, neo-marxian)
35 Different Theories: continued Keynesian/Minskyian: fundamental uncertainty; endogenous cycles Behavioral Finance: psychological departures from rationality
36 Survey of Some Current Financial Markets/Institutions
37 Current value of Daily Forex trading 1.9 trillion dollars daily
38 Source: Bank for International Settlements
39 Types of financial flows: Debt -portfolio -banks Equity -portfolio -FDI Derivatives and other exotic transactions

41 This Surge in Trading and Flows Relatively new During 1930 s, WWII, and early post-war period, tight regulations over forex trading and capital flows.
42 Capital Controls Quantity based: prohibitions on trading of assets denominated in foreign exchange (forex). Examples: exchange controls, restrictions on buying or selling foreign assets Price Based: taxes on inflows or outflows of capital
43 Distinction Between De-jure and De-facto financial liberalization De-jure: legal restrictions (or the absence there-of) De-facto: quantity of flows

51 Financial Integration and Economic Growth
52 Uses of international financial system Transfer capital to those who have too much to those who have too little Help diversify risks Help smooth consumption Help generate jobs (FDI)
53 Critiques of International financial flows Problem: most capital is flowing from the poorer countries to the richer countries (primarily the US) When capital does flow to poorer countries, it can (and often does) lead to financial instability and crisis.
54 Source: Obstfeld /Taylor
55 Bretton Woods Institutions (BWI s) IMF World Bank Formed in 1944, Bretton Woods Conference
56 Original Functions IMF, to help stabilize the international financial system and to help avoid the deflationary bias of the world Economy in the 1930 s
57 World Bank Medium to longer term lending for reconstruction after war and for developing countries
58 IMF Became more and more involved in longer term lending structural adjustment Interfering in operations of domestic economies
59 Pushed International financial Liberalization Internal: free up domestic financial markets External: reduce capital controls
60 Washington Consensus Financial Liberalization Privatization Trade Liberalization Cut Budget Deficits
61 Washington Consensus Export led growth and free markets Making countries attractive for international investment These are the keys to economic growth
62 Prabhat Patnaik Illusionism of Finance
63 3 defining moments Third World Debt Crisis, 1982 Asian Financial Crisis, /11 Iraq and the Election of progressive leaders in Latin America, opposed to Washington consensus

69 Third World Debt Crisis Background Impacts Led to neo-liberal globalization Increasing role of IMF and structural adjustment Neo-liberalism and Washington Consensus
70 Are capital flows volatile Pro-cyclical Sudden stops
71 What happens when capital flows and then sudden stops Individuals, companies and governments build up debts Debts denominated in foreign currencies Rely on future flows to service past flows
72 Debt Service Debt Service =interest payments plus amortization (repaying debt)
73 If debts in foreign currency When forex stops flowing in, creates problem If raise interest rates, problem worse If exchange rate falls, problem becomes worse debts denominated in foreign currency becomes greater in domestic currency
74 Effect of depreciation on value of debt Exchange rate: 1 peso = 1dollar 100 dollars debt = 100 pesos debt Exchange rate devalues (depreciates): 2 pesos = 1 dollar Now the country has 200 pesos worth of debt!!
75 Such depreciations can lead to bankruptcies
76 Volatility of Different Capital Flows FDI, Investment of Choice?
77
78
79 Does more capital flows increase economic growth?
80 No Clear Relationship between financial openess And Economic Growth
81 Conditioning on other factors
82 Volatility and Financial Integration Look here Source: IMF
83 Source: IMF
84
85 Differences between trade in Goods and in Financial Assets Financial Assets are bets on the future; trade is production in the present Trade is based on newly produced goods generates jobs. Finance ---already produced assets. Creation of a financial asset necessarily creates a debt.
86 A trade-off between Finance and Trade?
87 Scepticism about Washington Consensus Post-Washington Consensus More Policy space Not all one size fits all Capital controls?
88 Scepticism about Washington Consensus Post-Washington Consensus More Policy space Not all one size fits all Capital controls?
89 Increasing Concern Even Among Neo-liberal institutions like IMF
90 Raghuram G. Rajan Economic Counselor and Director of Research Has Financial Development Made the World Riskier?
91 Financial Landscape Altered Technical Change De-regulation Institutional Change
92 Risk: Spreading and Concentration: role of banks Securitization: selling assets ( plain vanilla assets: financial commodities) Banks holding onto less liquid assets.
93 Implications for Systemic Risk? Incentives facing bank managers and investors increasing systemic risk? Banks and other investment institutions have more incentive to take on risk:
94 Incentives to take on Risk Compensation: asymmetric: upside is compensated more than downside is penalized Performance judged relative to peers -incentive to take hidden risk -incentive to herd (ass covering) Reinforce each other in boom -willing to bear low probablity TAIL RISK
95 Tail Risk Non-normal probability distributions
96 Biggest Concern Will Banks be able to provide liquidity in the case of tail risk materializes In the past banks played that role Based on their sound balance sheets allowing them to attract liquidity in a crisis that they could on-lend
97 Illiquidity Risk? Banks today require liquid markets to hedge their bets, making them less able to provide the liquidity assurance they have provided in the past
98 Conclusion Even though there are far more participants today able to absorb risk, the financial risks that are being created by the system are greater. More pro-cyclicality Increased probablility of catastrophic meltdown.
