Primeiro, estamos assumindo que os alunos podem escolher outros cursos de Macroeconomia com ênfase em Teoria Monetária. Em outras palavras, estamos oferecendo um curso aplicado em Economia Monetária, sendo menos em Teoria.

O Curso trata de temas atuais em economia monetária. Para tanto, veremos modelos monetários e bancários mais adequados para explicar a recente crise no sistema financeiro internacional. Assim, focaremos em temas selecionados diante da crise mundial iniciada no ano de 2008, que desde então tem mudado radicalmente a economia mundial.

Segundo as diferentes escolas, a crise é devida tanto à inépcia do US FEDERAL RESERVE como à Regulação Indevida do Sistema Financeiro - com o uso abusivo de derivativos espalhando material ativos financeiros tóxicos via securitização de créditos subprime no mercado imobiliário norte-americano. Assim, focaremos nestas possíveis causas da crise.

PROGRAMA

 

TEMA 1. História Monetária Norte-Americana

 

Aqui tratamos do Contexto Histórico para o entendimento tanto das Crises de 1929 (Grande Depressão) e de 2008 como da Regulação do Sistema Financeiro (depois da Grande Depressão, foram criados os US FED, instituído a Lei Glass-Steagall Act (modelo de bancos especializados), que foi copiado pela Reforma Bancária de Campos de Bulhões no Brasil, e mais recentemente as medidas pós crise de 2008 com a US Dodd Franklin Act., e a Basiléia III.

3.2 Interest rate rules (Inflation Target) and “New Keynesian” Economics

 

We thought for a long time that interest rate targets lead to unstable price levels. And yet, the Fed does follow an interest rate target, and the price level doesn’t seem to be exploding. McCallum then pointed out that perhaps the price level could be stationary with a reactive interest rate – if the interest rate rises faster than inflation, perhaps inflation could be stabilized. Taylor noticed that a rule in which the interest rate rises more than inflation seems to characterize Fed behavior.

 

There is a huge literature now on “optimal Taylor rules”. For example, should the Fed react to actual or expected inflation? What happens if the Fed reacts to expected inflation, and expected inflation reacts to the Fed?

 

Questions: Is there a sensible model out there in which the Fed raises real rates to contain inflation? There are two schizophrenic strands to the literature; in one the Fed raises real interest rates in response to inflation and this action lowers future inflation; in the more popular strand threats of explosion select equilibria. Did the Fed conquer inflation by moving to a Taylor rule with a coefficient greater than one on inflation? Does the Fed in fact move the funds rate more than one for one with inflation -- how will it respond to a replay of 1973?

Famous for the claim that the Fed switched from “Passive” (coefficient on inflation less than one) to “active” (coefficient larger than one) around 1980, and this stopped inflation. Also, we need to read the theory section to see how this is supposed to work.

Maybe the “fact” isn’t even true – you make a lot of excuses for output responses in looking at the inflation response.
