WEBVTT

00:00:16.278 --> 00:00:21.399
today we're going to talk about um

00:00:19.640 --> 00:00:24.320
perhaps the most important model in this

00:00:21.399 --> 00:00:26.919
class the ISL MPC model which puts

00:00:24.320 --> 00:00:30.518
together all that we have done up to now

00:00:26.920 --> 00:00:32.559
but before we do that uh let's talk a

00:00:30.518 --> 00:00:36.799
little bit about the current

00:00:32.558 --> 00:00:36.799
events uh who knows what that

00:00:37.119 --> 00:00:42.000
is is this a exam week or

00:00:42.840 --> 00:00:49.640
what Silicon Valley Bank exactly no so

00:00:46.719 --> 00:00:54.799
Silicon Valley Bank the 16th Bank in

00:00:49.640 --> 00:00:57.879
size asset size in the US ER went

00:00:54.799 --> 00:01:01.759
essentially under last Friday was shut

00:00:57.878 --> 00:01:04.280
down by the FD last last

00:01:01.759 --> 00:01:09.079
Friday so that's the decline in in the

00:01:04.280 --> 00:01:11.320
stock value uh during Thursday Friday

00:01:09.079 --> 00:01:14.560
and uh and then it was shut down and you

00:01:11.319 --> 00:01:17.438
see that it's not being traded anymore

00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:19.640
um so that's a pretty significant event

00:01:17.438 --> 00:01:23.279
and the the weekend was pretty stressful

00:01:19.640 --> 00:01:27.040
for anyone involved in in in this event

00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:30.560
the treasury the FDIC the Federal

00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:32.520
Reserve and so on um

00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:34.759
it's first it was a large I mean it's

00:01:32.519 --> 00:01:38.840
not one of the big systemic Banks if you

00:01:34.759 --> 00:01:41.040
will it's not JP Morgan City Bank of

00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:42.759
America one of those Banks which are

00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:45.600
regulated even differently from these

00:01:42.759 --> 00:01:48.519
Banks but still is a pretty large Bank

00:01:45.599 --> 00:01:51.438
you see by asset size $29

00:01:48.519 --> 00:01:53.359
billion H which is you know comparable

00:01:51.438 --> 00:01:55.039
to Washington Mutual which was the

00:01:53.359 --> 00:01:57.519
largest bank that went under during the

00:01:55.040 --> 00:01:59.920
global financial crisis Great Recession

00:01:57.519 --> 00:02:03.078
at that time there were lots of other

00:01:59.920 --> 00:02:05.399
banks that went under H but the largest

00:02:03.078 --> 00:02:06.798
was comparable to this one and in fact

00:02:05.399 --> 00:02:08.840
all the things that were done over the

00:02:06.799 --> 00:02:10.239
weekend and that still being done today

00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:14.159
is to prevent something like this

00:02:10.239 --> 00:02:15.120
happening here as well okay and so it

00:02:14.159 --> 00:02:18.359
was

00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:21.319
a a pretty significant event now what

00:02:18.360 --> 00:02:25.360
happened to Silicon Valley

00:02:21.318 --> 00:02:28.280
Bank um well in the the immediate cause

00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:30.440
of of of of the failure is what always

00:02:28.280 --> 00:02:33.598
kills a bank which is a r

00:02:30.439 --> 00:02:35.318
by this depositors okay and what you see

00:02:33.598 --> 00:02:38.199
here is is the following this is this

00:02:35.318 --> 00:02:39.958
this Bank actually grew enormously over

00:02:38.199 --> 00:02:43.560
the last two three years essentially

00:02:39.959 --> 00:02:46.878
doubl its asset size

00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:48.840
um but it began to have sort of outflow

00:02:46.878 --> 00:02:51.719
net outflows of

00:02:48.840 --> 00:02:54.519
deposits during 2022 and the reason for

00:02:51.719 --> 00:02:57.199
that is not because the business was

00:02:54.519 --> 00:02:59.120
doing poorly anything it was simply

00:02:57.199 --> 00:03:02.039
because this is a bank that service

00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:04.400
primarily of the high the tech sector

00:03:02.039 --> 00:03:06.878
startups companies and things like that

00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:09.039
and those sectors were having hard time

00:03:06.878 --> 00:03:11.359
raising new capital in an environment

00:03:09.039 --> 00:03:14.280
that was not very friendly towards the

00:03:11.360 --> 00:03:16.720
tech sector so so so they began to

00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:21.759
withdraw on their deposits and and

00:03:16.719 --> 00:03:23.280
that's what led to these flows here now

00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:26.359
eventually

00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:29.919
ER because of this and and something

00:03:26.360 --> 00:03:32.959
I'll explain in a few minutes ER

00:03:29.919 --> 00:03:37.238
this the they decided svb Bank decided

00:03:32.959 --> 00:03:40.199
to issue new Equity ER issue new

00:03:37.239 --> 00:03:42.959
Equity to cover certain losses they had

00:03:40.199 --> 00:03:45.119
incurrent and today in the mod of social

00:03:42.959 --> 00:03:46.840
in the world of social media that

00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:49.200
immediately led to sort of massive

00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:51.360
spread that this bank was in trouble and

00:03:49.199 --> 00:03:53.759
then you saw enormous attempts to

00:03:51.360 --> 00:03:55.319
withdraw deposits now not all of these

00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:58.039
these were fulfilled but there was a

00:03:55.318 --> 00:04:01.238
massive pressure to withdraw deposits

00:03:58.039 --> 00:04:02.639
and and and and that's the end always

00:04:01.239 --> 00:04:05.480
for a bank that doesn't find an

00:04:02.639 --> 00:04:07.958
alternative source of funding and often

00:04:05.479 --> 00:04:09.798
for withdrawals of that size the only

00:04:07.959 --> 00:04:12.000
alternative source of funding is either

00:04:09.799 --> 00:04:16.000
that some other bank buys you or that

00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:16.000
the FED comes in and gives you a

00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:21.439
line anyway so what is the that was

00:04:19.720 --> 00:04:24.479
immediate and it's always whenever you

00:04:21.439 --> 00:04:26.519
ask you hear about the bank run the

00:04:24.478 --> 00:04:29.560
immediate cost of the problem is a run

00:04:26.519 --> 00:04:33.799
from of the depositors from deposits in

00:04:29.560 --> 00:04:36.759
that that bank now why did this happen

00:04:33.800 --> 00:04:39.720
in this in this particular bank again I

00:04:36.759 --> 00:04:42.360
explain why is that you saw those small

00:04:39.720 --> 00:04:44.800
withdrawals of deposits but but what

00:04:42.360 --> 00:04:47.000
happens to this to them is actually

00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:49.319
there as I said before their deposits

00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:52.879
grew very rapidly over the last two

00:04:49.319 --> 00:04:55.519
three years and then rather than being

00:04:52.879 --> 00:04:57.319
very risky lenders rather than investing

00:04:55.519 --> 00:04:59.399
you know sometimes when Banks grow very

00:04:57.319 --> 00:05:01.680
rapidly they do lots of crazy things you

00:04:59.399 --> 00:05:04.038
know they in they make lots of loans

00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:06.000
without going doing the D diligent

00:05:04.038 --> 00:05:09.240
process and all that that's not what

00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:11.279
they did they bought treasury bonds the

00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:14.639
safest as as you can imagine they bought

00:05:11.279 --> 00:05:16.839
10 year treasury bonds lots of them but

00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:18.840
they bought them at the wrong time they

00:05:16.839 --> 00:05:21.918
bought them right before the hike in

00:05:18.839 --> 00:05:24.519
interest rates that we began to see in

00:05:21.918 --> 00:05:25.799
2022 and we already looked at the

00:05:24.519 --> 00:05:28.439
relation between interest rates and

00:05:25.800 --> 00:05:30.520
price of bonds well you have a 10-year

00:05:28.439 --> 00:05:32.160
bond and the interest starts going up

00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:35.680
the price of that Bond starts

00:05:32.160 --> 00:05:38.280
declining now that is not is problematic

00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:40.600
for a bank but not entirely the end of

00:05:38.279 --> 00:05:42.599
the story because that means that the

00:05:40.600 --> 00:05:44.560
the the market value of the bonds you're

00:05:42.600 --> 00:05:47.199
holding among your assets starts

00:05:44.560 --> 00:05:48.560
declining but Banks do not need to

00:05:47.199 --> 00:05:51.240
recognize that

00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:54.399
loss unless they sell the

00:05:51.240 --> 00:05:56.079
bonds because the the the logic is that

00:05:54.399 --> 00:05:57.679
well if the guy just sits on the bond

00:05:56.079 --> 00:05:59.038
the bond hasn't really lost any value in

00:05:57.680 --> 00:06:00.519
the sense that it will get the same

00:05:59.038 --> 00:06:02.680
coupons that he was planning to get and

00:06:00.519 --> 00:06:03.879
so on this is us treasuries us

00:06:02.680 --> 00:06:05.519
treasuries are not going to default in

00:06:03.879 --> 00:06:08.319
the coupons let's hope it's not going to

00:06:05.519 --> 00:06:10.799
happen in a few months from now but but

00:06:08.319 --> 00:06:14.319
typically they don't default on coupons

00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:15.759
so so the logic the regul regulation is

00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:17.560
assigned in such a way perhaps is a

00:06:15.759 --> 00:06:20.080
failure I think there is a problem there

00:06:17.560 --> 00:06:22.800
but that they don't need to

00:06:20.079 --> 00:06:25.839
recognize the losses unless they sell

00:06:22.800 --> 00:06:27.079
the bonds so they look pretty healthy

00:06:25.839 --> 00:06:28.918
because they had massive amount of

00:06:27.079 --> 00:06:30.719
Treasury bonds they did not need to

00:06:28.918 --> 00:06:34.079
recognize that

00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:36.720
problem is that when this small W

00:06:34.079 --> 00:06:39.159
relatively small withdrawals start at

00:06:36.720 --> 00:06:40.960
some point they needed to find a

00:06:39.160 --> 00:06:43.199
substitute for those funds they need to

00:06:40.959 --> 00:06:45.000
honor the deposits that that were being

00:06:43.199 --> 00:06:48.080
withdrawn and at that point they had to

00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:49.598
sell assets and when they sold assets

00:06:48.079 --> 00:06:51.279
they made the loss because at that point

00:06:49.598 --> 00:06:53.240
you have to recognize the loss because

00:06:51.279 --> 00:06:55.198
you're not going to hold the the bond

00:06:53.240 --> 00:06:57.160
until expiration and clip all the

00:06:55.199 --> 00:07:00.400
coupons that come from it so you have to

00:06:57.160 --> 00:07:03.560
recognize the loss that's a loss

00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:06.038
that led the CEO to announce that they

00:07:03.560 --> 00:07:08.720
needed a fundraising to cover a $2.5

00:07:06.038 --> 00:07:14.038
billion hold they had as a result of the

00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:16.680
losses okay now okay so now we have a we

00:07:14.038 --> 00:07:18.079
know why where the losses came from now

00:07:16.680 --> 00:07:19.918
if you notice the losses are not that

00:07:18.079 --> 00:07:22.839
big I mean this is a bank with $200

00:07:19.918 --> 00:07:25.758
billion and and the losses were

00:07:22.839 --> 00:07:28.119
relatively small where is the other leg

00:07:25.759 --> 00:07:32.360
of the problem it's

00:07:28.120 --> 00:07:33.598
here you know in in the US deposits are

00:07:32.360 --> 00:07:35.879
ured up to

00:07:33.598 --> 00:07:37.560
$250,000 that means no matter what

00:07:35.879 --> 00:07:41.240
happens to the bank where you have the

00:07:37.560 --> 00:07:43.598
money if that bank goes under and you

00:07:41.240 --> 00:07:45.720
have deposits for below $250,000 the

00:07:43.598 --> 00:07:48.800
FDIC comes and gives you a check okay so

00:07:45.720 --> 00:07:51.120
there's no risk so if you have deposit

00:07:48.800 --> 00:07:53.079
under $250,000 you don't need to worry

00:07:51.120 --> 00:07:55.079
about this you may go you don't need to

00:07:53.079 --> 00:07:57.959
read the news about this bank

00:07:55.079 --> 00:08:00.198
because you will get your funds in fact

00:07:57.959 --> 00:08:03.000
when when the bank was shut down on

00:08:00.199 --> 00:08:05.520
Friday the FDIC announc immediately

00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:08.000
every depositor under $250,000 can come

00:08:05.519 --> 00:08:10.959
on Monday and get his money okay so

00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:12.478
there's no issue there and most banks

00:08:10.959 --> 00:08:14.198
have a large share of depositors that

00:08:12.478 --> 00:08:17.639
are small depositor that means they are

00:08:14.199 --> 00:08:20.319
covered by this Deposit Insurance

00:08:17.639 --> 00:08:21.960
mechanism which was designed precisely

00:08:20.319 --> 00:08:23.319
to prevent runs because if you don't

00:08:21.959 --> 00:08:25.120
need to worry about where you get your

00:08:23.319 --> 00:08:28.120
money know you don't need to run on the

00:08:25.120 --> 00:08:29.639
bank the problem is that this bank was

00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:33.000
very different in the composition of

00:08:29.639 --> 00:08:35.080
depositors he had primarily business

00:08:33.000 --> 00:08:36.879
deposits meaning it was all these

00:08:35.080 --> 00:08:38.599
startup companies and so on in the tech

00:08:36.879 --> 00:08:40.158
sector they had their their deposits

00:08:38.599 --> 00:08:41.519
there and those deposits were much

00:08:40.158 --> 00:08:43.399
larger than

00:08:41.519 --> 00:08:47.200
$250,000 if you

00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:49.240
see it's about I think it's close to 95%

00:08:47.200 --> 00:08:52.759
of the deposits were not covered by the

00:08:49.240 --> 00:08:54.120
insurance by the fdac insurance okay

00:08:52.759 --> 00:08:56.799
that means it's a very different

00:08:54.120 --> 00:08:58.200
calculation when you have a deposit

00:08:56.799 --> 00:08:59.559
that's not covered by insurance and then

00:08:58.200 --> 00:09:02.480
you start feeling that the bank Mak may

00:08:59.559 --> 00:09:05.039
go under what do you do you take your

00:09:02.480 --> 00:09:07.680
money out you know put it some you send

00:09:05.039 --> 00:09:10.199
it to JP Morgan where there's no risk

00:09:07.679 --> 00:09:12.719
and wait until this thing is

00:09:10.200 --> 00:09:14.399
resolved now in this case and that's

00:09:12.720 --> 00:09:17.040
what typically happens in this case it

00:09:14.399 --> 00:09:18.600
happens even faster than normally why

00:09:17.039 --> 00:09:20.399
because many of the depositors the

00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:24.399
business that were deposited in there

00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:27.159
were were a startups that were being

00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:29.759
seeded by some Venture Capital

00:09:27.159 --> 00:09:31.439
funds and Venture Capital funds as soon

00:09:29.759 --> 00:09:33.958
as they noticed that there was a problem

00:09:31.440 --> 00:09:35.640
here began to call all the startups and

00:09:33.958 --> 00:09:37.838
tell him hey take that money out of

00:09:35.639 --> 00:09:40.480
there because you know they may run into

00:09:37.839 --> 00:09:42.680
travel so it was a venture capital world

00:09:40.480 --> 00:09:45.200
that caused the Run

00:09:42.679 --> 00:09:46.719
effectively and and and and and that's

00:09:45.200 --> 00:09:49.600
what happened

00:09:46.720 --> 00:09:51.839
okay now so that's that's what happened

00:09:49.600 --> 00:09:53.000
that's the reason for the run and and

00:09:51.839 --> 00:09:55.959
and

00:09:53.000 --> 00:09:57.679
the and so there was a a problem the

00:09:55.958 --> 00:09:59.559
problem was not that big but but the

00:09:57.679 --> 00:10:01.559
problem is that the deposits were very

00:09:59.559 --> 00:10:03.319
un safe they were not covered and moving

00:10:01.559 --> 00:10:05.679
deposits out is very easy I mean you

00:10:03.320 --> 00:10:09.640
just you know you just wire your money

00:10:05.679 --> 00:10:11.599
to another bank so so so why wait there

00:10:09.639 --> 00:10:14.120
why risk it and that's that's what

00:10:11.600 --> 00:10:16.040
happened it's called in economics

00:10:14.120 --> 00:10:17.959
coordination failure when I mean if

00:10:16.039 --> 00:10:19.480
everyone freezes and say okay nobody

00:10:17.958 --> 00:10:22.599
takes the money out and so on this stuff

00:10:19.480 --> 00:10:24.320
is when I pass then we're safe but but

00:10:22.600 --> 00:10:25.920
but since we don't call each other and

00:10:24.320 --> 00:10:27.959
we don't trust each other to really

00:10:25.919 --> 00:10:29.519
leave the money there we we we we make

00:10:27.958 --> 00:10:31.039
the call only after we have taken our

00:10:29.519 --> 00:10:34.600
money out and since we all think the

00:10:31.039 --> 00:10:35.958
same way then you get a run on the bank

00:10:34.600 --> 00:10:38.399
now let me start connecting this a

00:10:35.958 --> 00:10:41.039
little bit with uh with the kind of

00:10:38.399 --> 00:10:44.480
things we have done in in this course I

00:10:41.039 --> 00:10:47.240
I I I may actually discuss runs later in

00:10:44.480 --> 00:10:48.879
the course as a as a as a topic crisis

00:10:47.240 --> 00:10:50.799
speculative attacks and things like that

00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:53.480
but for

00:10:50.799 --> 00:10:57.679
now here what you have is an indicator

00:10:53.480 --> 00:11:00.039
of essentially is this is the vix a is a

00:10:57.679 --> 00:11:01.799
is an indicator of Supply volatility

00:11:00.039 --> 00:11:03.838
something is extracted from the price of

00:11:01.799 --> 00:11:07.039
options you don't need to know the

00:11:03.839 --> 00:11:09.760
details but the point is that that is

00:11:07.039 --> 00:11:12.159
one of the main indicators of of fear of

00:11:09.759 --> 00:11:15.039
of how afraid are investors in a moment

00:11:12.159 --> 00:11:17.199
in the market and and uh and what you

00:11:15.039 --> 00:11:19.838
can see here is that that this indicator

00:11:17.200 --> 00:11:21.360
the vixs essentially

00:11:19.839 --> 00:11:24.920
Spike

00:11:21.360 --> 00:11:27.480
Thursday and and Thursday and Friday

00:11:24.919 --> 00:11:31.000
went up Friday went up very very rapidly

00:11:27.480 --> 00:11:34.120
and then it got stabilized a little

00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:38.440
now ER it turned out that it turns out

00:11:34.120 --> 00:11:41.240
that over the weekend ER H you may have

00:11:38.440 --> 00:11:43.560
heard the government the Consolidated

00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:46.560
Government came up with a very massive

00:11:43.559 --> 00:11:49.479
package to to prevent runs on the

00:11:46.559 --> 00:11:51.518
remaining Banks and and also to prevent

00:11:49.480 --> 00:11:53.920
the fact that I mean all of these were

00:11:51.519 --> 00:11:57.078
business deposits of a small companies

00:11:53.919 --> 00:11:59.958
that used even this bank for the payroll

00:11:57.078 --> 00:12:01.879
and so on so so what was done of this

00:11:59.958 --> 00:12:03.199
weakness that all the deposit not only

00:12:01.879 --> 00:12:06.799
the ones under

00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:08.600
$250,000 were guarantee by the FDIC

00:12:06.799 --> 00:12:11.399
there are mechanism under which you can

00:12:08.600 --> 00:12:15.159
activate that so that means now all the

00:12:11.399 --> 00:12:15.159
depositors were made

00:12:15.399 --> 00:12:20.958
whole and but the idea was not it was

00:12:18.919 --> 00:12:23.799
part partly the reason to do that it was

00:12:20.958 --> 00:12:25.919
to prevent a mess in the pay roles of

00:12:23.799 --> 00:12:28.039
the small companies and all that that

00:12:25.919 --> 00:12:31.159
had their account in in in this bank but

00:12:28.039 --> 00:12:35.480
it was also to prevent on other Banks

00:12:31.159 --> 00:12:38.480
you know and uh and so on top of this

00:12:35.480 --> 00:12:42.440
the FED now has a line of

00:12:38.480 --> 00:12:44.480
credit ER for banks to not have to sell

00:12:42.440 --> 00:12:46.839
their assets for small Banks they can

00:12:44.480 --> 00:12:48.519
just pledge the assets to the central

00:12:46.839 --> 00:12:52.399
bank and get an exchange for that the

00:12:48.519 --> 00:12:54.320
cash they need okay and they can do that

00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:56.879
without recognizing the implicit loss so

00:12:54.320 --> 00:12:59.839
without marking to market the price of

00:12:56.879 --> 00:13:03.120
the bonds okay so how this mechanism

00:12:59.839 --> 00:13:05.440
existed before the pl of

00:13:03.120 --> 00:13:06.720
svb we would not have seen anything like

00:13:05.440 --> 00:13:09.079
that but the whole idea was to prevent

00:13:06.720 --> 00:13:11.879
that other Banks run into into that kind

00:13:09.078 --> 00:13:14.000
of trouble now the markets reacted well

00:13:11.879 --> 00:13:15.759
to all that overnight and so on but the

00:13:14.000 --> 00:13:17.759
vi kept going up this morning now it's

00:13:15.759 --> 00:13:19.439
coming down again I mean there's still a

00:13:17.759 --> 00:13:21.319
lot of stress and if you see the shares

00:13:19.440 --> 00:13:23.600
of First Republic Bank for example had

00:13:21.320 --> 00:13:26.000
declined by 60% today and things like

00:13:23.600 --> 00:13:30.120
that so so there's a still Panic going

00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:32.958
on okay and as a result of that ER all

00:13:30.120 --> 00:13:35.120
these indicators of stress sort of are

00:13:32.958 --> 00:13:37.799
very stressed out remember credit

00:13:35.120 --> 00:13:39.560
spreads I told you about that X that we

00:13:37.799 --> 00:13:41.000
had Le several lectures ago the

00:13:39.559 --> 00:13:42.679
probability of the fault of a bone the

00:13:41.000 --> 00:13:44.839
perceived probability of the fault all

00:13:42.679 --> 00:13:47.319
those things went up a lot I mean the

00:13:44.839 --> 00:13:49.240
Riser the bonds the closer you are to

00:13:47.320 --> 00:13:51.160
the financial system particular to small

00:13:49.240 --> 00:13:53.399
Banks the larger those spreads have

00:13:51.159 --> 00:13:57.240
become so X went up a

00:13:53.399 --> 00:13:58.879
lot this picture that comes next I find

00:13:57.240 --> 00:14:00.320
it very interesting from the point of

00:13:58.879 --> 00:14:03.439
view of this

00:14:00.320 --> 00:14:06.199
course what this is is the following

00:14:03.440 --> 00:14:11.079
this is the market

00:14:06.198 --> 00:14:14.359
expectation of the next hike by the

00:14:11.078 --> 00:14:18.278
fed the FED next announcement on policy

00:14:14.360 --> 00:14:20.399
rate happens on the 22nd March 22nd so

00:14:18.278 --> 00:14:23.159
remember what has been happening is that

00:14:20.399 --> 00:14:24.919
that that ER since the US has been

00:14:23.159 --> 00:14:26.958
running sort of very hot with lots of

00:14:24.919 --> 00:14:29.599
inflation interest rate were increased

00:14:26.958 --> 00:14:31.919
very rapidly at clips of 50 basis points

00:14:29.600 --> 00:14:33.920
a CLI that's very large changes in

00:14:31.919 --> 00:14:38.278
policy rate for a country as large as

00:14:33.919 --> 00:14:40.078
the US and and so we had this big 25

00:14:38.278 --> 00:14:42.078
basis points increases and a few

00:14:40.078 --> 00:14:45.120
meetings ago they decided to lower the

00:14:42.078 --> 00:14:46.958
pace of the increases to 25 basis points

00:14:45.120 --> 00:14:48.320
rather than 50 Bas points per meeting

00:14:46.958 --> 00:14:50.000
okay so they said we're going to keep

00:14:48.320 --> 00:14:53.560
raising interest rate but we're going to

00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:56.559
go out to 25 basis points now it turns

00:14:53.559 --> 00:14:58.278
out so this is 25 basis points the data

00:14:56.559 --> 00:14:59.879
has becoming very hot remember we said

00:14:58.278 --> 00:15:01.320
inflation looked to have Peak and now

00:14:59.879 --> 00:15:03.919
it's beginning sort of to turn around

00:15:01.320 --> 00:15:05.839
again it's beginning to rise so what has

00:15:03.919 --> 00:15:09.399
been happening is that the market say

00:15:05.839 --> 00:15:12.519
Okay 25% basis point is the most likely

00:15:09.399 --> 00:15:14.360
next hike but you see the expectation of

00:15:12.519 --> 00:15:16.560
that is it was sort of a steady around

00:15:14.360 --> 00:15:19.000
30 basis points some people expected

00:15:16.559 --> 00:15:21.319
some major players expected the FED to

00:15:19.000 --> 00:15:25.078
hike by 50 basis points not 25 basis

00:15:21.320 --> 00:15:27.040
points by early last week data came very

00:15:25.078 --> 00:15:28.758
hot so there was indication that clearly

00:15:27.039 --> 00:15:30.958
inflation was picking up again the labor

00:15:28.759 --> 00:15:32.360
market Market was very strong and so on

00:15:30.958 --> 00:15:34.518
so look what happened to the bets

00:15:32.360 --> 00:15:37.560
immediately expected value went up this

00:15:34.519 --> 00:15:39.360
is all traded it went up and and the

00:15:37.559 --> 00:15:42.439
expectation was for the next meeting was

00:15:39.360 --> 00:15:44.800
up north of of 40 basis points so

00:15:42.440 --> 00:15:47.319
essentially most of the market thought

00:15:44.799 --> 00:15:49.039
that the next hike would be 50 basis

00:15:47.318 --> 00:15:51.278
points

00:15:49.039 --> 00:15:54.078
okay but look what happened and then the

00:15:51.278 --> 00:15:58.519
problems of this with this Bank began

00:15:54.078 --> 00:16:00.439
and look how this pleted today is 15

00:15:58.519 --> 00:16:02.278
basis point is expected value that means

00:16:00.440 --> 00:16:04.839
very few people are expecting 50 basis

00:16:02.278 --> 00:16:07.559
point A lot of people are thinking 25

00:16:04.839 --> 00:16:11.720
still but about an equal size expecting

00:16:07.559 --> 00:16:14.439
zero so a POS in the interest rate hike

00:16:11.720 --> 00:16:17.079
by the FED okay and all that is a result

00:16:14.440 --> 00:16:18.959
of the events of the last two three

00:16:17.078 --> 00:16:21.198
days

00:16:18.958 --> 00:16:24.239
Y what is there to learn from this I

00:16:21.198 --> 00:16:27.159
guess in like the bigger structure or

00:16:24.240 --> 00:16:29.000
who's at fault is it the people who got

00:16:27.159 --> 00:16:31.399
really scared all these depositors that

00:16:29.000 --> 00:16:34.078
got potentially scared or or fearmonger

00:16:31.399 --> 00:16:36.240
in that capacity is it that the banks

00:16:34.078 --> 00:16:37.879
don't necessarily have I mean I can't

00:16:36.240 --> 00:16:39.240
feel like it's an unre there are many

00:16:37.879 --> 00:16:40.958
good questions and and and you're going

00:16:39.240 --> 00:16:42.198
to see a lot of that and politicians are

00:16:40.958 --> 00:16:44.679
going to talk a lot about that in the

00:16:42.198 --> 00:16:46.318
next few days and so on it's very clear

00:16:44.679 --> 00:16:49.159
that there was some sort of regulatory

00:16:46.318 --> 00:16:51.000
failure here the regulator it was pretty

00:16:49.159 --> 00:16:53.399
obvious that I mean this this bank had

00:16:51.000 --> 00:16:56.000
doubled the asset size in in in a year

00:16:53.399 --> 00:16:58.879
that's already a red flag and and these

00:16:56.000 --> 00:17:00.879
guys are regulated by the Fed so the the

00:16:58.879 --> 00:17:05.119
s Francisco fed should have been worried

00:17:00.879 --> 00:17:07.038
about this Bank ER there is issues

00:17:05.119 --> 00:17:08.719
conventional issues of diversification I

00:17:07.038 --> 00:17:11.720
mean it's pretty crazy to have all your

00:17:08.720 --> 00:17:12.919
savings in One Bank especially if you're

00:17:11.720 --> 00:17:16.000
not

00:17:12.919 --> 00:17:18.919
insure there is issues there's

00:17:16.000 --> 00:17:23.279
also remember after the global financial

00:17:18.919 --> 00:17:26.319
crisis there's there was a bill designed

00:17:23.279 --> 00:17:27.639
to legislation designed to strengthen

00:17:26.318 --> 00:17:30.119
the balance sheet of the banks it made

00:17:27.640 --> 00:17:31.759
them hold a lot more cas Capital they

00:17:30.119 --> 00:17:33.439
are subject see if they're systemic they

00:17:31.759 --> 00:17:35.200
are consider they're subject to stress

00:17:33.440 --> 00:17:36.679
test where sort of regulators go in

00:17:35.200 --> 00:17:40.558
there and check whether portfolios can

00:17:36.679 --> 00:17:42.160
survive major micros shcks and so on H

00:17:40.558 --> 00:17:45.558
and that's that's called The Dot Frank

00:17:42.160 --> 00:17:48.840
Bill okay so that was done in

00:17:45.558 --> 00:17:50.639
2018 that got partially undone and

00:17:48.839 --> 00:17:52.000
partially andone precisely for these

00:17:50.640 --> 00:17:54.919
type of Banks and these guys were

00:17:52.000 --> 00:17:56.880
actually loving for that they said okay

00:17:54.919 --> 00:17:58.520
why don't you because to be sort of

00:17:56.880 --> 00:18:00.039
really stress test and so on by the

00:17:58.519 --> 00:18:03.279
regular you have to be big enough to

00:18:00.038 --> 00:18:06.359
really be able to live a a big mess and

00:18:03.279 --> 00:18:10.158
and and and so what these guys and and

00:18:06.359 --> 00:18:13.319
Banks like them did is they Lobby a lot

00:18:10.159 --> 00:18:15.000
so they got the the the threshold of

00:18:13.319 --> 00:18:18.720
asset that you need to have in order to

00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:21.200
be stress stress tested and so on raise

00:18:18.720 --> 00:18:24.000
dramatically so they were right below

00:18:21.200 --> 00:18:27.558
the level that you need to be really

00:18:24.000 --> 00:18:29.480
sort of monitored very very closely by

00:18:27.558 --> 00:18:31.759
the regulator by the by the FED if

00:18:29.480 --> 00:18:33.640
you're a systemic bank then the FED

00:18:31.759 --> 00:18:35.279
regulates you these guys were lightly

00:18:33.640 --> 00:18:37.960
regulated by the FED because they were

00:18:35.279 --> 00:18:40.558
below that threshold so there regulatory

00:18:37.960 --> 00:18:44.079
failures it's clear that the regulator

00:18:40.558 --> 00:18:48.359
fail what it did

00:18:44.079 --> 00:18:50.319
depositors didn't diversify enough ER

00:18:48.359 --> 00:18:52.158
they didn't diversify enough the bank

00:18:50.319 --> 00:18:54.200
itself didn't diversify enough the the

00:18:52.159 --> 00:18:55.480
source of funding I mean what is very

00:18:54.200 --> 00:18:56.720
special of this bank and that's what

00:18:55.480 --> 00:18:59.440
gives us hope that this stuff is not

00:18:56.720 --> 00:19:01.640
going to spread all around is that their

00:18:59.440 --> 00:19:04.600
funding was very sort of you know was

00:19:01.640 --> 00:19:07.200
all coming from the same sector large

00:19:04.599 --> 00:19:08.558
saver large depositors and so on the

00:19:07.200 --> 00:19:10.759
typical bank doesn't have that they have

00:19:08.558 --> 00:19:12.240
a much broader source of funding which

00:19:10.759 --> 00:19:13.960
is what you need because you know

00:19:12.240 --> 00:19:16.839
otherwise so so there are lots of

00:19:13.960 --> 00:19:19.759
lessons for Bankers for

00:19:16.839 --> 00:19:22.038
Regulators ER for microeconomist as well

00:19:19.759 --> 00:19:24.640
I mean to tell you the truth one of the

00:19:22.038 --> 00:19:26.919
concerns with with the pace at which the

00:19:24.640 --> 00:19:28.840
FED has been hik in interest rates is

00:19:26.919 --> 00:19:30.440
that people were wondering well do we we

00:19:28.839 --> 00:19:32.158
know whe something will break at some

00:19:30.440 --> 00:19:33.200
point and there was a lot of concern

00:19:32.159 --> 00:19:36.720
that something could break well

00:19:33.200 --> 00:19:39.679
something broke now and this broke

00:19:36.720 --> 00:19:41.440
entirely the part of the the loss comes

00:19:39.679 --> 00:19:43.559
entirely from interest rate highs

00:19:41.440 --> 00:19:45.960
essentially they got into a portfolio of

00:19:43.558 --> 00:19:48.359
long that was very long rat when rates

00:19:45.960 --> 00:19:51.240
began to rise so they they had losses

00:19:48.359 --> 00:19:54.359
entirely from that and that's a risk I

00:19:51.240 --> 00:19:56.720
mean when you do monetary policy is that

00:19:54.359 --> 00:19:58.959
some people will be stretch out there

00:19:56.720 --> 00:20:00.880
and and and if you sort of sometimes

00:19:58.960 --> 00:20:02.400
miss one that is important that that's

00:20:00.880 --> 00:20:06.240
very costly and I think was that's one

00:20:02.400 --> 00:20:08.600
of the reasons they wanted to lower the

00:20:06.240 --> 00:20:11.240
the interest R hikes from 50 basis

00:20:08.599 --> 00:20:14.480
points to 25 basis points because they

00:20:11.240 --> 00:20:17.480
knew that something could be fragile out

00:20:14.480 --> 00:20:20.400
there and and and this was one of those

00:20:17.480 --> 00:20:23.558
things so those are those are

00:20:20.400 --> 00:20:25.960
lessons now I was about to connect with

00:20:23.558 --> 00:20:28.798
the things we did in a few lectures ago

00:20:25.960 --> 00:20:31.679
I said look so this is telling you the

00:20:28.798 --> 00:20:34.960
markets when they saw this x going

00:20:31.679 --> 00:20:37.000
up and started betting that the that the

00:20:34.960 --> 00:20:38.759
FED will not hike interest rate as much

00:20:37.000 --> 00:20:40.000
and in fact that they may even pause

00:20:38.759 --> 00:20:42.200
rather than raise the interest rate as

00:20:40.000 --> 00:20:45.798
was planned they may even pause interest

00:20:42.200 --> 00:20:45.798
rates we talked about

00:20:45.839 --> 00:20:51.959
this lecture

00:20:48.679 --> 00:20:56.200
seven remember in lecture seven when we

00:20:51.960 --> 00:20:59.200
talk about the expanded islm model we

00:20:56.200 --> 00:21:01.640
had this x variable and we said look if

00:20:59.200 --> 00:21:03.159
x goes up that measure of riskiness and

00:21:01.640 --> 00:21:06.240
so on that increases the cost of

00:21:03.159 --> 00:21:08.480
borrowing for the private sector that is

00:21:06.240 --> 00:21:11.120
like a shift in the yes to the left for

00:21:08.480 --> 00:21:13.798
any given safe interest rate saved by

00:21:11.119 --> 00:21:15.479
the central bank now all of the sudden

00:21:13.798 --> 00:21:18.960
the cost of borrowing for companies is

00:21:15.480 --> 00:21:22.798
higher and therefore this is

00:21:18.960 --> 00:21:24.519
contractionary okay and then we went on

00:21:22.798 --> 00:21:26.079
remember we went on and said well here

00:21:24.519 --> 00:21:29.079
it is the question what should the

00:21:26.079 --> 00:21:32.000
Central Bank do in this case

00:21:29.079 --> 00:21:32.000
in which X went

00:21:33.000 --> 00:21:37.679
up that's was the next slide inide of

00:21:35.679 --> 00:21:39.798
fact you know lower the interest rate

00:21:37.679 --> 00:21:44.000
because there's one component of cost of

00:21:39.798 --> 00:21:47.119
borrowing that's going up for for ER for

00:21:44.000 --> 00:21:49.159
firms which is the X well the FED can

00:21:47.119 --> 00:21:51.199
offset that by lowering the interest

00:21:49.159 --> 00:21:52.559
rate now here they're not planning yet

00:21:51.200 --> 00:21:54.000
to lower the interest rate they were

00:21:52.558 --> 00:21:56.200
planning to raise interest and now

00:21:54.000 --> 00:21:58.640
they're slowing down that that's a bet

00:21:56.200 --> 00:22:01.120
so the market knows some basic and

00:21:58.640 --> 00:22:03.600
expanded islm model because that's

00:22:01.119 --> 00:22:05.798
that's what you know explains exactly

00:22:03.599 --> 00:22:08.519
what you should anticipate that that's

00:22:05.798 --> 00:22:10.720
what is likely to to

00:22:08.519 --> 00:22:12.918
happen anyways that's where we are at

00:22:10.720 --> 00:22:12.919
this

00:22:13.480 --> 00:22:17.319
moment any questions about this

00:22:15.440 --> 00:22:19.919
otherwise I'm going to move to the

00:22:17.319 --> 00:22:22.038
lecture really but I thought we had to

00:22:19.919 --> 00:22:25.159
talk about

00:22:22.038 --> 00:22:27.440
it well in anyways if it gets a lot

00:22:25.159 --> 00:22:29.200
Messier I'm hoping that it won but if it

00:22:27.440 --> 00:22:31.200
gets a lot Messier then we can another

00:22:29.200 --> 00:22:33.919
section at the end I can replace

00:22:31.200 --> 00:22:37.440
something for for something on banking

00:22:33.919 --> 00:22:37.440
crisis and something like that

00:22:38.200 --> 00:22:45.360
okay which is what I teach in one of my

00:22:40.599 --> 00:22:48.158
graduate courses so would be would be

00:22:45.359 --> 00:22:52.199
fine anyway so now what I want to do is

00:22:48.159 --> 00:22:53.919
start this islm PC model and sort of the

00:22:52.200 --> 00:22:55.600
number the name is not very creative

00:22:53.919 --> 00:22:59.759
it's pretty obvious what we're going to

00:22:55.599 --> 00:23:02.319
do here no is going to combine the aslm

00:22:59.759 --> 00:23:04.640
with with the Philips curve and what

00:23:02.319 --> 00:23:07.119
this this will do for us is it will

00:23:04.640 --> 00:23:09.440
allow us to think not only about the

00:23:07.119 --> 00:23:11.239
impact of a policy or a shock but also

00:23:09.440 --> 00:23:14.519
think about what happens over time with

00:23:11.240 --> 00:23:16.798
that shock okay ER not to the long run

00:23:14.519 --> 00:23:18.879
but we call this analysis sort of the

00:23:16.798 --> 00:23:21.359
short run which is what happens in the

00:23:18.880 --> 00:23:24.200
very few early weeks months and what

00:23:21.359 --> 00:23:26.079
happens in the medium run say a year a

00:23:24.200 --> 00:23:30.440
year and a half from now and so this

00:23:26.079 --> 00:23:30.439
model will allow us to put all of the

00:23:30.679 --> 00:23:36.480
together

00:23:32.200 --> 00:23:39.319
um so and But but so so so you don't get

00:23:36.480 --> 00:23:40.798
lost on this so the analysis of the

00:23:39.319 --> 00:23:44.158
short run essentially will remain

00:23:40.798 --> 00:23:47.200
unchanged it's is our islm mod it's just

00:23:44.159 --> 00:23:50.039
that give it a little time and you start

00:23:47.200 --> 00:23:51.840
seeing other certain effects get undone

00:23:50.038 --> 00:23:54.440
and some others get exacerbated and so

00:23:51.839 --> 00:23:56.918
on okay but but the short one is still

00:23:54.440 --> 00:23:59.159
islm is your basic mod but then we're

00:23:56.919 --> 00:24:03.360
going to see that things happen

00:23:59.159 --> 00:24:05.200
over time so remember the slm model was

00:24:03.359 --> 00:24:07.759
essentially this is equilibrium in the

00:24:05.200 --> 00:24:12.080
Goods Market and then we had an LM which

00:24:07.759 --> 00:24:14.919
said I equal to I bar no and so I'm

00:24:12.079 --> 00:24:17.439
going to replace the LM already inside

00:24:14.919 --> 00:24:20.120
this and I get my islm mod so for any

00:24:17.440 --> 00:24:22.519
given I bar I could solve out for

00:24:20.119 --> 00:24:25.119
equilibrium output

00:24:22.519 --> 00:24:27.200
now here I'm going to do I'm going to

00:24:25.119 --> 00:24:28.639
adopt the the the I didn't want to do it

00:24:27.200 --> 00:24:30.880
before but I think at this point is

00:24:28.640 --> 00:24:33.679
useful because of will simplify the

00:24:30.880 --> 00:24:35.559
diagrams when we draw them to really

00:24:33.679 --> 00:24:38.440
think of the FED as setting the real

00:24:35.558 --> 00:24:40.440
interest rate okay so I'm going to

00:24:38.440 --> 00:24:41.640
assume now and then I'm going to explain

00:24:40.440 --> 00:24:45.200
what

00:24:41.640 --> 00:24:46.759
happens when that's a bad assumption but

00:24:45.200 --> 00:24:48.440
but I'm going to assume for now that

00:24:46.759 --> 00:24:50.319
rather than the FED setting the nominal

00:24:48.440 --> 00:24:54.200
interest rate that the FED is set in the

00:24:50.319 --> 00:24:57.398
real interest rate okay so it's setting

00:24:54.200 --> 00:24:59.759
this and then we're going to talk about

00:24:57.398 --> 00:25:01.918
problems I mean in

00:24:59.759 --> 00:25:03.839
principle if the interest rate is not

00:25:01.919 --> 00:25:06.360
against the zero lower

00:25:03.839 --> 00:25:07.839
bound the FED can always do that say

00:25:06.359 --> 00:25:09.119
okay I'm going to give them them I'm

00:25:07.839 --> 00:25:10.839
going to give you the nominal interest

00:25:09.119 --> 00:25:12.959
rate that given this expected inflation

00:25:10.839 --> 00:25:14.558
gives me the real interest rate I want

00:25:12.960 --> 00:25:16.600
okay that's what the FED is really

00:25:14.558 --> 00:25:18.158
trying to do all the time the FED is not

00:25:16.599 --> 00:25:19.959
trying to figure out what is the

00:25:18.159 --> 00:25:21.799
equilibrium nominal interest rate he's

00:25:19.960 --> 00:25:23.480
always trying to figure out whether the

00:25:21.798 --> 00:25:26.038
real interest rate is at the right level

00:25:23.480 --> 00:25:27.880
or not for the economy now the tool they

00:25:26.038 --> 00:25:29.079
have is a nominal interest rate but they

00:25:27.880 --> 00:25:32.600
are thinking thinking always about the

00:25:29.079 --> 00:25:35.000
real interest rate and and and and

00:25:32.599 --> 00:25:37.278
sometimes there's a problem because it's

00:25:35.000 --> 00:25:38.759
a when you against a zero lower bound

00:25:37.278 --> 00:25:41.159
then you can't affect the real interest

00:25:38.759 --> 00:25:43.519
in the same way but but most of the time

00:25:41.159 --> 00:25:46.000
you can and so I'm going to think I'm

00:25:43.519 --> 00:25:49.200
going to rewrite the slm mo now but I'm

00:25:46.000 --> 00:25:50.880
going to call this our bar and the bar

00:25:49.200 --> 00:25:52.519
is there just to tell you remind you

00:25:50.880 --> 00:25:54.600
that there something that the FED is

00:25:52.519 --> 00:25:57.398
setting

00:25:54.599 --> 00:25:59.319
okay so that's our aslm remember the

00:25:57.398 --> 00:26:01.119
Philips curve part

00:25:59.319 --> 00:26:03.200
the Philips that was our Philips curve

00:26:01.119 --> 00:26:05.398
remember the last once we replace the

00:26:03.200 --> 00:26:07.640
natural rate of unemployment in there we

00:26:05.398 --> 00:26:09.319
had the inflation minus expected

00:26:07.640 --> 00:26:11.240
inflation was a decreasing function of

00:26:09.319 --> 00:26:12.798
the unemployment Gap okay so if

00:26:11.240 --> 00:26:15.359
unemployment was above the natural rate

00:26:12.798 --> 00:26:18.000
of unemployment inflation was lower than

00:26:15.359 --> 00:26:19.599
expected inflation and conversely if the

00:26:18.000 --> 00:26:21.398
unemployment rate was lower than the

00:26:19.599 --> 00:26:23.759
unemployment rate and I said one the

00:26:21.398 --> 00:26:27.359
situation of the US today is that

00:26:23.759 --> 00:26:29.879
everything seems to point towards toward

00:26:27.359 --> 00:26:31.079
a situation where U is below un that's

00:26:29.880 --> 00:26:34.278
the reason we're seeing sort of high

00:26:31.079 --> 00:26:35.558
inflation okay now what I'm going to do

00:26:34.278 --> 00:26:37.839
next is I'm going to go from an

00:26:35.558 --> 00:26:40.079
employment to Output so I can put you

00:26:37.839 --> 00:26:43.480
see I don't have an employment anywhere

00:26:40.079 --> 00:26:46.158
here I have output so what I want to do

00:26:43.480 --> 00:26:48.480
is play with the Philips curve and until

00:26:46.159 --> 00:26:50.440
I write it in the space of inflation and

00:26:48.480 --> 00:26:52.079
output not inflation and unemployment so

00:26:50.440 --> 00:26:55.720
I can put the two curves together that's

00:26:52.079 --> 00:26:57.720
what I want to remember I want to merge

00:26:55.720 --> 00:26:59.399
here the slm with the PC so I want to

00:26:57.720 --> 00:27:03.120
put them in the the same

00:26:59.398 --> 00:27:04.678
variable so remember we have operated

00:27:03.119 --> 00:27:07.719
with a very simple production function

00:27:04.679 --> 00:27:09.679
in which output is equal to employment

00:27:07.720 --> 00:27:12.558
remember that's what we assume

00:27:09.679 --> 00:27:15.519
employment we call it n well I can

00:27:12.558 --> 00:27:18.038
rewrite n employment as the labor force

00:27:15.519 --> 00:27:21.359
times one minus the unemployment rate

00:27:18.038 --> 00:27:24.879
that's employment okay so that's I can

00:27:21.359 --> 00:27:27.918
think of output as that similar I can

00:27:24.880 --> 00:27:30.000
define a what we call we don't call it

00:27:27.919 --> 00:27:32.880
natur output we call it potential

00:27:30.000 --> 00:27:36.440
output no and potential output is

00:27:32.880 --> 00:27:38.120
defined as as the output that you get

00:27:36.440 --> 00:27:40.840
when unemployment is at the natural rate

00:27:38.119 --> 00:27:43.119
of unemployment okay so that's a

00:27:40.839 --> 00:27:46.398
definition three lines the potential

00:27:43.119 --> 00:27:49.798
output is when

00:27:46.398 --> 00:27:51.038
when the output you get which in this

00:27:49.798 --> 00:27:53.038
with this production function is the

00:27:51.038 --> 00:27:55.079
employment you get when you're at the

00:27:53.038 --> 00:27:57.319
unemployment at the natural rate of

00:27:55.079 --> 00:28:00.079
unemployment and now I can construct the

00:27:57.319 --> 00:28:02.038
difference the minus that this is

00:28:00.079 --> 00:28:03.759
something we call the output Gap and you

00:28:02.038 --> 00:28:07.519
may

00:28:03.759 --> 00:28:11.158
hear typically when people talk

00:28:07.519 --> 00:28:13.640
about issues of monetary

00:28:11.159 --> 00:28:16.399
policy often is described in terms of

00:28:13.640 --> 00:28:17.919
this variable More Than This Gap say

00:28:16.398 --> 00:28:20.239
people talk about the output Gap if the

00:28:17.919 --> 00:28:22.159
output Gap is positive that means output

00:28:20.240 --> 00:28:24.359
is above the natural rate of out the

00:28:22.159 --> 00:28:26.799
potential output when the output Gap is

00:28:24.359 --> 00:28:29.240
negative output is below potential

00:28:26.798 --> 00:28:32.038
output so I can re write this you know

00:28:29.240 --> 00:28:37.200
this minus that is just that and now I

00:28:32.038 --> 00:28:41.079
can I can replace uus un n here for H

00:28:37.200 --> 00:28:43.519
minus Yus YN / L and I get the Philips

00:28:41.079 --> 00:28:46.000
curve now written in terms of the output

00:28:43.519 --> 00:28:48.880
Gap and inflation so this says when

00:28:46.000 --> 00:28:50.960
output is above potential output when

00:28:48.880 --> 00:28:53.600
the output Gap is positive then

00:28:50.960 --> 00:28:55.558
inflation exceed expected inflation

00:28:53.599 --> 00:28:58.398
conversely when output is below

00:28:55.558 --> 00:29:01.240
potential output then inflation is below

00:28:58.398 --> 00:29:02.918
expected inflation okay but the logic is

00:29:01.240 --> 00:29:05.880
exactly the same as the logic we had

00:29:02.919 --> 00:29:07.480
here why is that this happens well

00:29:05.880 --> 00:29:09.080
because when output is above the

00:29:07.480 --> 00:29:10.839
potential output that means also

00:29:09.079 --> 00:29:14.480
unemployment is lower than the natural

00:29:10.839 --> 00:29:17.398
rate of unemployment okay so that's a

00:29:14.480 --> 00:29:19.440
that's the logic any question about

00:29:17.398 --> 00:29:23.479
this

00:29:19.440 --> 00:29:28.399
no okay good so anyway so now we have a

00:29:23.480 --> 00:29:31.000
a Philips curve and our aslm model so so

00:29:28.398 --> 00:29:33.158
let's put them together and suppose for

00:29:31.000 --> 00:29:35.720
now and when last example when I carry

00:29:33.159 --> 00:29:38.080
around is that expected inflation is

00:29:35.720 --> 00:29:39.519
equal to lag inflation so this a case in

00:29:38.079 --> 00:29:41.000
which expected inflation is not well

00:29:39.519 --> 00:29:42.240
anchor and then we're want to talk about

00:29:41.000 --> 00:29:45.398
what happens when it's anchor and not

00:29:42.240 --> 00:29:47.640
anchor so suppose that that inflation is

00:29:45.398 --> 00:29:49.000
actually whatever is this year's

00:29:47.640 --> 00:29:52.759
inflation that's what you expect for

00:29:49.000 --> 00:29:55.759
next year okay so here I have an example

00:29:52.759 --> 00:29:57.440
in which here I'm plotting our islm now

00:29:55.759 --> 00:30:00.679
which I'm using remember the real

00:29:57.440 --> 00:30:02.320
interest right here here H and in this

00:30:00.679 --> 00:30:04.519
diagram down here I'm plotting the

00:30:02.319 --> 00:30:08.000
Philips

00:30:04.519 --> 00:30:10.519
curve okay so first thing let's look

00:30:08.000 --> 00:30:13.038
about this Philip SC why is that where

00:30:10.519 --> 00:30:16.079
sloping here is output so this this is a

00:30:13.038 --> 00:30:17.319
parameter Pi n so and and and this is

00:30:16.079 --> 00:30:19.879
the left hand side variable so it's

00:30:17.319 --> 00:30:22.639
obviously increasing in output why is

00:30:19.880 --> 00:30:24.760
that well because if output grows that

00:30:22.640 --> 00:30:28.080
means unemployment goes down that means

00:30:24.759 --> 00:30:32.319
wages go up prices go up and you get

00:30:28.079 --> 00:30:33.759
inflation that's a mechanism okay so in

00:30:32.319 --> 00:30:36.319
this particular

00:30:33.759 --> 00:30:38.200
example we have this is the real

00:30:36.319 --> 00:30:40.960
interest rate that the FED has set at

00:30:38.200 --> 00:30:43.360
this moment that's equilibrium output

00:30:40.960 --> 00:30:45.038
what I'm trying to tell you here is that

00:30:43.359 --> 00:30:46.759
nothing has change in the way you

00:30:45.038 --> 00:30:49.038
calculate equilibrium output you just

00:30:46.759 --> 00:30:50.599
use for that you only need the stop

00:30:49.038 --> 00:30:52.798
diagram in the short

00:30:50.599 --> 00:30:56.918
run I tell you what the real interest

00:30:52.798 --> 00:30:58.480
rate is set by the is which is a

00:30:56.919 --> 00:31:01.320
decision by the Fed

00:30:58.480 --> 00:31:04.000
then I know where my is is I can pin

00:31:01.319 --> 00:31:07.359
down output I don't need this diagram to

00:31:04.000 --> 00:31:11.599
really pin down equilibrium output

00:31:07.359 --> 00:31:14.319
okay nothing is different there

00:31:11.599 --> 00:31:17.719
but and this is an example in this

00:31:14.319 --> 00:31:19.000
particular case we have that inflation

00:31:17.720 --> 00:31:22.798
is rising

00:31:19.000 --> 00:31:25.119
here and the question is why so for this

00:31:22.798 --> 00:31:27.679
what I'm trying to say is that for this

00:31:25.119 --> 00:31:30.319
is which is a function of fiscal policy

00:31:27.679 --> 00:31:33.278
of how confident consumers are and stuff

00:31:30.319 --> 00:31:35.519
like that if the FED chooses this real

00:31:33.278 --> 00:31:36.919
interest rate we end up with this output

00:31:35.519 --> 00:31:40.319
but it turns out that this level of

00:31:36.919 --> 00:31:42.559
output is increasing

00:31:40.319 --> 00:31:44.319
inflation and the increase in inflation

00:31:42.558 --> 00:31:47.798
I can read here I see the change in

00:31:44.319 --> 00:31:49.839
inflation is positive here why is this

00:31:47.798 --> 00:31:51.278
happening um if you're changing the

00:31:49.839 --> 00:31:54.000
alpha that means you have a different

00:31:51.278 --> 00:31:57.919
level ofemployment which changes the um

00:31:54.000 --> 00:32:00.119
expected inflation R yeah well actually

00:31:57.919 --> 00:32:01.480
here I don't need to take take this

00:32:00.119 --> 00:32:04.798
diagram would have also work with

00:32:01.480 --> 00:32:06.679
expected inflation as a constant here

00:32:04.798 --> 00:32:09.038
I'm I'm more looking at what happens to

00:32:06.679 --> 00:32:10.320
inflation I'm saying if output is above

00:32:09.038 --> 00:32:12.440
the natural rate of output then

00:32:10.319 --> 00:32:13.759
inflation is above expected inflation

00:32:12.440 --> 00:32:15.960
but I can take expected inflation as a

00:32:13.759 --> 00:32:18.000
constant in fact here it is a constant

00:32:15.960 --> 00:32:19.919
because constant in the sense that is

00:32:18.000 --> 00:32:22.240
given at time T because it's a previous

00:32:19.919 --> 00:32:23.919
year's inflation but what is important

00:32:22.240 --> 00:32:26.798
is that you have too much aggregate

00:32:23.919 --> 00:32:31.080
demand this economy is running very hot

00:32:26.798 --> 00:32:33.038
if output is positive then that is going

00:32:31.079 --> 00:32:34.599
to lead to inflationary pressures in

00:32:33.038 --> 00:32:36.200
this particular model where expected

00:32:34.599 --> 00:32:37.959
inflation is equal to l inflation this

00:32:36.200 --> 00:32:39.880
is pretty bad because not only you get

00:32:37.960 --> 00:32:42.880
inflation above the target of the FED

00:32:39.880 --> 00:32:45.799
but inflation is rising over

00:32:42.880 --> 00:32:47.760
time so this is a case in which this

00:32:45.798 --> 00:32:49.319
Central Bank is setting the real

00:32:47.759 --> 00:32:52.440
interest rate too

00:32:49.319 --> 00:32:54.879
low okay now you may want Japan is doing

00:32:52.440 --> 00:32:56.639
a little bit of this but they have a

00:32:54.880 --> 00:32:58.320
reason is that they have had inflation

00:32:56.638 --> 00:33:00.079
so low that it makes sense for them to

00:32:58.319 --> 00:33:02.599
build a little a little

00:33:00.079 --> 00:33:04.398
inflation in the US it made less sense

00:33:02.599 --> 00:33:05.839
remember the US got into trouble because

00:33:04.398 --> 00:33:07.558
it was in a situation like this for a

00:33:05.839 --> 00:33:10.638
long period of time I mean the you the

00:33:07.558 --> 00:33:12.839
reason we have today 6% inflation well

00:33:10.638 --> 00:33:16.398
depends which indicator you use is

00:33:12.839 --> 00:33:19.119
because the US experience sort of a year

00:33:16.398 --> 00:33:21.079
with a situation like this a year and a

00:33:19.119 --> 00:33:23.319
half okay and that's what sometimes

00:33:21.079 --> 00:33:25.398
people said the Fed was behind the curve

00:33:23.319 --> 00:33:28.079
they they for for a variety of reasons

00:33:25.398 --> 00:33:30.599
one initially potential output the Cline

00:33:28.079 --> 00:33:32.240
because of all the covid related issues

00:33:30.599 --> 00:33:34.199
they expected that to recover quickly so

00:33:32.240 --> 00:33:35.798
they says well let it go because I'm not

00:33:34.200 --> 00:33:37.278
going to start moving my policy right

00:33:35.798 --> 00:33:39.798
around for something that will recover

00:33:37.278 --> 00:33:41.880
quickly as soon as Co is gone well it

00:33:39.798 --> 00:33:43.960
took longer to recover and then it came

00:33:41.880 --> 00:33:46.799
the sort of the Russian war shock and so

00:33:43.960 --> 00:33:50.159
on and so natural rate of unemployment

00:33:46.798 --> 00:33:52.960
moved to the left to start and second

00:33:50.159 --> 00:33:55.880
because of an enormous policy support

00:33:52.960 --> 00:33:58.360
primarily H and the fact that that

00:33:55.880 --> 00:34:01.039
houses were able to save a lot during

00:33:58.359 --> 00:34:03.398
it there was a lot of pent up demand

00:34:01.038 --> 00:34:05.079
then we had enormous aggregate demand

00:34:03.398 --> 00:34:07.199
when we came out of it and the real

00:34:05.079 --> 00:34:09.319
interestate that we had was just way too

00:34:07.200 --> 00:34:10.519
low for all that agregate demand and

00:34:09.320 --> 00:34:13.240
that

00:34:10.519 --> 00:34:14.918
low potential output so we were in a

00:34:13.239 --> 00:34:15.878
situation like this and inflation began

00:34:14.918 --> 00:34:19.000
to

00:34:15.878 --> 00:34:20.838
climb initially expected inflation was

00:34:19.000 --> 00:34:22.519
very well anchor and then we began to

00:34:20.838 --> 00:34:24.119
lose the anchor then we recover it and

00:34:22.519 --> 00:34:25.719
and now we're losing it again we shall

00:34:24.119 --> 00:34:27.838
see what happens after this current

00:34:25.719 --> 00:34:29.678
episode but that was exactly a situation

00:34:27.838 --> 00:34:32.239
of the US and of most economies around

00:34:29.679 --> 00:34:34.918
the world China is in a different story

00:34:32.239 --> 00:34:38.199
but in most economies around the world

00:34:34.918 --> 00:34:40.480
you certainly Europe all of them the UK

00:34:38.199 --> 00:34:43.000
Continental Europe and the UK Latin

00:34:40.480 --> 00:34:44.918
America when you look the situation was

00:34:43.000 --> 00:34:50.639
like that just real interest were way

00:34:44.918 --> 00:34:52.319
too low for a um um the natural rate the

00:34:50.639 --> 00:34:54.440
potential the level of the potential

00:34:52.320 --> 00:34:57.760
output we had at that time and so we got

00:34:54.440 --> 00:34:59.079
into situation like this

00:34:57.760 --> 00:35:01.079
okay so that's the short run in the

00:34:59.079 --> 00:35:03.160
short run if you have an interest rate

00:35:01.079 --> 00:35:04.640
that is very low I mean again in the

00:35:03.159 --> 00:35:06.838
short run you you know how to determine

00:35:04.639 --> 00:35:08.319
output given a real interest rate and

00:35:06.838 --> 00:35:10.000
then now you can say a little more say

00:35:08.320 --> 00:35:11.760
okay but that's going to put inflation

00:35:10.000 --> 00:35:13.440
it's going to cause inflationary

00:35:11.760 --> 00:35:14.720
pressures up or down depending on

00:35:13.440 --> 00:35:16.358
whether you are to the right or to the

00:35:14.719 --> 00:35:18.118
left of the natural rate of output

00:35:16.358 --> 00:35:21.000
that's a new twist about the short run

00:35:18.119 --> 00:35:23.680
that you know but now let's start moving

00:35:21.000 --> 00:35:26.960
over time so what happens over

00:35:23.679 --> 00:35:30.118
time well first let me Define something

00:35:26.960 --> 00:35:31.519
well potential output we know what it is

00:35:30.119 --> 00:35:34.160
but I'm going to define something which

00:35:31.519 --> 00:35:36.079
is called the natural rate of interest

00:35:34.159 --> 00:35:37.440
rate sometimes called the neutral

00:35:36.079 --> 00:35:39.359
interest rate sometimes called the

00:35:37.440 --> 00:35:42.159
weelian interest rate let me not get

00:35:39.358 --> 00:35:45.279
into that story but I'm going to Define

00:35:42.159 --> 00:35:48.118
implicitly the natural rate of interest

00:35:45.280 --> 00:35:49.839
rate or the neutral rate of interest or

00:35:48.119 --> 00:35:52.720
some people call it rst star you may

00:35:49.838 --> 00:35:54.119
have heard of RS star in the newspapers

00:35:52.719 --> 00:35:55.719
people talk about R star when they are

00:35:54.119 --> 00:35:58.760
talking about RAR they're talking about

00:35:55.719 --> 00:36:01.799
that okay is simply the interest rate

00:35:58.760 --> 00:36:03.440
that that makes the natur the potential

00:36:01.800 --> 00:36:05.839
output the equilibrium of the Goods

00:36:03.440 --> 00:36:08.920
Market okay so I'm solving implicitly I

00:36:05.838 --> 00:36:10.199
say I want to get as a result as an I

00:36:08.920 --> 00:36:13.119
want to get as a result of this

00:36:10.199 --> 00:36:15.159
equilibrium here H the natural rate of

00:36:13.119 --> 00:36:17.079
output what is the interest I need to

00:36:15.159 --> 00:36:20.000
pick so that's the

00:36:17.079 --> 00:36:22.599
case okay so I want to get the natural

00:36:20.000 --> 00:36:24.280
rate of output here the potential output

00:36:22.599 --> 00:36:27.000
I know that there is an interest rate

00:36:24.280 --> 00:36:28.240
real interest rate at which that holds

00:36:27.000 --> 00:36:30.960
no it's a matter looking for the

00:36:28.239 --> 00:36:33.078
interest rate that does that and in this

00:36:30.960 --> 00:36:34.800
particular diagram is this you see at

00:36:33.079 --> 00:36:38.480
this interest

00:36:34.800 --> 00:36:40.720
rate the ASI equilibrium output is

00:36:38.480 --> 00:36:45.719
exactly the natural rate of

00:36:40.719 --> 00:36:49.000
output okay so what I know is that

00:36:45.719 --> 00:36:52.318
eventually the economy will have to go

00:36:49.000 --> 00:36:55.480
there no eventually the economy will

00:36:52.318 --> 00:36:59.800
have to go there so how will this happen

00:36:55.480 --> 00:37:01.159
in practice the way we happen is okay

00:36:59.800 --> 00:37:03.760
this is the point we were at in the

00:37:01.159 --> 00:37:06.039
previous slide

00:37:03.760 --> 00:37:08.520
no so we were

00:37:06.039 --> 00:37:10.800
here well that's building in

00:37:08.519 --> 00:37:13.159
inflationary

00:37:10.800 --> 00:37:15.880
pressure what do you think will happen

00:37:13.159 --> 00:37:15.879
inflation start

00:37:17.440 --> 00:37:25.440
climbing who will react who is in charge

00:37:21.280 --> 00:37:25.440
not letting inflation get get carried

00:37:25.679 --> 00:37:29.838
away Central Bank know the Fed so what

00:37:28.318 --> 00:37:30.920
they'll start doing is hiking interest

00:37:29.838 --> 00:37:33.358
rate which is exactly what they have

00:37:30.920 --> 00:37:35.519
been doing no and as they hike interest

00:37:33.358 --> 00:37:37.880
rate you know they're going to

00:37:35.519 --> 00:37:39.599
keep they take they start increasing the

00:37:37.880 --> 00:37:42.519
real interest rate interest until they

00:37:39.599 --> 00:37:47.160
get to this point okay that's

00:37:42.519 --> 00:37:51.639
idea so the point is that in the medium

00:37:47.159 --> 00:37:53.239
run a a the real interest real variables

00:37:51.639 --> 00:37:55.318
determine real variables not monetary

00:37:53.239 --> 00:37:56.719
policy monetary policy has to follow

00:37:55.318 --> 00:37:59.480
whatever it is that the economy throws

00:37:56.719 --> 00:38:00.919
at them banks have to follow whatever is

00:37:59.480 --> 00:38:02.679
the real interest rate if they made a

00:38:00.920 --> 00:38:04.519
mistake and they set an real interest

00:38:02.679 --> 00:38:06.358
rate which is not consistent with a

00:38:04.519 --> 00:38:08.199
stable inflation they're going to learn

00:38:06.358 --> 00:38:10.039
about it and over time they're going to

00:38:08.199 --> 00:38:14.799
have to fix that and when will the

00:38:10.039 --> 00:38:16.960
problem go away only when H they they

00:38:14.800 --> 00:38:19.359
reach the natural rate of unemployment

00:38:16.960 --> 00:38:21.480
okay and so that's what will happen as

00:38:19.358 --> 00:38:24.358
the real interest start going up from

00:38:21.480 --> 00:38:27.079
here to there then you start seeing the

00:38:24.358 --> 00:38:29.880
change in inflation this particular mole

00:38:27.079 --> 00:38:31.519
ER um declining and declining and when

00:38:29.880 --> 00:38:34.480
you get to an natural rate of output at

00:38:31.519 --> 00:38:34.480
least you get a stable

00:38:36.039 --> 00:38:42.440
inflation is this adjustment

00:38:39.838 --> 00:38:45.239
clear okay good okay so that's what

00:38:42.440 --> 00:38:47.440
happened in the medium run so the medium

00:38:45.239 --> 00:38:49.759
run is described as moving from that

00:38:47.440 --> 00:38:52.119
point here the whole process of going

00:38:49.760 --> 00:38:55.800
back to a situation where we converge to

00:38:52.119 --> 00:38:57.559
the Natural rate of interest rate and

00:38:55.800 --> 00:38:59.160
therefore the natural rate of output and

00:38:57.559 --> 00:39:01.920
the natural rate of unemployment and all

00:38:59.159 --> 00:39:03.960
these kind of things okay so that's the

00:39:01.920 --> 00:39:07.358
short run is whatever his output is

00:39:03.960 --> 00:39:10.318
That's So slm the medium run is whatever

00:39:07.358 --> 00:39:11.639
the the natural rate tells you should be

00:39:10.318 --> 00:39:13.039
the natural rate of unemployment the

00:39:11.639 --> 00:39:15.078
natural rate of output and therefore the

00:39:13.039 --> 00:39:16.318
natural rate of interest rate or weelian

00:39:15.079 --> 00:39:19.960
interest rate or the neutral interest

00:39:16.318 --> 00:39:21.960
rate or our star that's all pinned down

00:39:19.960 --> 00:39:23.679
there in the in the in the medium run

00:39:21.960 --> 00:39:26.358
and the transition is obviously going

00:39:23.679 --> 00:39:27.879
from the short run like pure LS slm to

00:39:26.358 --> 00:39:30.199
the Natural rate

00:39:27.880 --> 00:39:33.880
type analysis

00:39:30.199 --> 00:39:36.439
okay now I assume here and that's

00:39:33.880 --> 00:39:40.480
related to your answer I assume here

00:39:36.440 --> 00:39:42.838
that expected inflation was an anchor

00:39:40.480 --> 00:39:45.920
that is that expected inflation was

00:39:42.838 --> 00:39:48.318
equal to l inflation that's I I told you

00:39:45.920 --> 00:39:51.079
before that's not what Central One banks

00:39:48.318 --> 00:39:55.239
want to be because that means that if

00:39:51.079 --> 00:39:57.079
you mess up inflation is high and and

00:39:55.239 --> 00:39:58.679
then in order to bring it down you also

00:39:57.079 --> 00:40:00.440
have to bring down expected inflation

00:39:58.679 --> 00:40:02.598
you need to cause a recession and you

00:40:00.440 --> 00:40:04.800
can see that here so suppose that the

00:40:02.599 --> 00:40:06.160
Central Bank starts with the level of

00:40:04.800 --> 00:40:08.318
inflation that it like suppose that this

00:40:06.159 --> 00:40:09.960
is the model so what I said before the

00:40:08.318 --> 00:40:12.400
expected inflation is equal to lag

00:40:09.960 --> 00:40:14.000
inflation suppose that the Central Bank

00:40:12.400 --> 00:40:18.519
starts at the level of inflation that it

00:40:14.000 --> 00:40:21.960
likes 2% in the US okay I suppose that

00:40:18.519 --> 00:40:23.480
for whatever reason whatever shock it

00:40:21.960 --> 00:40:25.800
finds itself with an interest rate that

00:40:23.480 --> 00:40:29.400
is too low a real interest rate is too

00:40:25.800 --> 00:40:32.359
low that means in inflation exceeds

00:40:29.400 --> 00:40:35.519
expected inflation which was

00:40:32.358 --> 00:40:38.440
2% well by next year say this suppos

00:40:35.519 --> 00:40:40.920
this Gap is 2% well by next year the G

00:40:38.440 --> 00:40:45.559
inflation is

00:40:40.920 --> 00:40:48.400
4% okay so if your inflation is 4% in

00:40:45.559 --> 00:40:50.679
fact in the US it got to be 9% if you

00:40:48.400 --> 00:40:52.920
are at 9% level of inflation and this is

00:40:50.679 --> 00:40:55.679
the model of expected for expected

00:40:52.920 --> 00:40:57.838
inflation you have then Houston you have

00:40:55.679 --> 00:40:59.838
a problem because it's not enough with

00:40:57.838 --> 00:41:01.719
raising interest rate up to this point

00:40:59.838 --> 00:41:04.799
suppose that the FED says wow I don't

00:41:01.719 --> 00:41:06.480
like 9% I'm going to go back to that

00:41:04.800 --> 00:41:08.280
that clearly tells me that my output is

00:41:06.480 --> 00:41:09.800
way above the natural rate of output I'm

00:41:08.280 --> 00:41:11.800
going to hike interest rate and somebody

00:41:09.800 --> 00:41:14.359
tells the fed this is your natural

00:41:11.800 --> 00:41:15.519
interest rate a very good research

00:41:14.358 --> 00:41:17.199
Department tells him look this is your

00:41:15.519 --> 00:41:18.800
natural interest hike it to there

00:41:17.199 --> 00:41:20.399
suppose the FED hikes the interest rate

00:41:18.800 --> 00:41:22.800
to that point what

00:41:20.400 --> 00:41:25.358
happens so the FED realized here this

00:41:22.800 --> 00:41:28.240
was going really wrong they end up with

00:41:25.358 --> 00:41:30.159
9% inflation so but somebody tells him

00:41:28.239 --> 00:41:32.959
look this is your natural your neutral

00:41:30.159 --> 00:41:35.000
interest rate your R star bring it there

00:41:32.960 --> 00:41:37.559
and the FED immediately reacts and takes

00:41:35.000 --> 00:41:40.119
it there what

00:41:37.559 --> 00:41:41.960
happened is the Fed happy with the final

00:41:40.119 --> 00:41:44.760
outcome and supposed the res Department

00:41:41.960 --> 00:41:48.519
was really good so they got got it right

00:41:44.760 --> 00:41:51.280
so the r star was the right R

00:41:48.519 --> 00:41:53.199
star okay and the FED implemented that

00:41:51.280 --> 00:41:54.519
policy move interest rate suppose that

00:41:53.199 --> 00:41:56.719
the interest rate the real interest rate

00:41:54.519 --> 00:41:58.679
they had was minus 1% I'm telling you

00:41:56.719 --> 00:42:02.000
numbers that are not that different from

00:41:58.679 --> 00:42:04.000
what we had minus 1% and and and the

00:42:02.000 --> 00:42:06.880
research Department tells no your your

00:42:04.000 --> 00:42:08.719
RN is really 1% so they hike interest

00:42:06.880 --> 00:42:12.240
rate by 2%

00:42:08.719 --> 00:42:12.239
immediately and now what

00:42:19.838 --> 00:42:23.679
happens

00:42:21.358 --> 00:42:25.598
so I guess that question is a little

00:42:23.679 --> 00:42:28.519
bague but but I'm saying is the Central

00:42:25.599 --> 00:42:31.920
Bank happy now that it o I got we got

00:42:28.519 --> 00:42:33.719
the right natural rate neutral rate it's

00:42:31.920 --> 00:42:36.039
called neutral

00:42:33.719 --> 00:42:37.959
rate well I'm telling you I wouldn't be

00:42:36.039 --> 00:42:39.759
asking you if the Fed was happy after

00:42:37.960 --> 00:42:42.318
that so why do you think why why are

00:42:39.760 --> 00:42:45.680
they unhappy why is the Fed unhappy

00:42:42.318 --> 00:42:47.440
after that not unhappy with the policy

00:42:45.679 --> 00:42:49.039
but but but when I'm saying the

00:42:47.440 --> 00:42:51.838
adjustment is not completed at that

00:42:49.039 --> 00:42:51.838
point

00:42:56.119 --> 00:43:01.119
why and I'm trying to make the bigger

00:42:58.400 --> 00:43:02.720
point for why central banks are so eager

00:43:01.119 --> 00:43:04.640
to maintain credibility and not have

00:43:02.719 --> 00:43:06.838
this kind of model of expected inflation

00:43:04.639 --> 00:43:08.719
they want the markets to believe them

00:43:06.838 --> 00:43:10.838
that that they have a Target and that

00:43:08.719 --> 00:43:12.598
they're going to go to that Target and

00:43:10.838 --> 00:43:14.358
and that to set their expected inflation

00:43:12.599 --> 00:43:16.440
equal to that constant equal to a Target

00:43:14.358 --> 00:43:18.239
that's what they dream with because if

00:43:16.440 --> 00:43:20.280
they don't get that if they get this

00:43:18.239 --> 00:43:22.519
instead things are

00:43:20.280 --> 00:43:26.079
nasty and I'm trying to describe that

00:43:22.519 --> 00:43:27.920
Nas what what what is happening now so

00:43:26.079 --> 00:43:31.039
what happens here okay so so so we went

00:43:27.920 --> 00:43:33.079
here inflation got to be 9% and now the

00:43:31.039 --> 00:43:36.318
FED boom hike interest rate

00:43:33.079 --> 00:43:38.280
by 200 basis point it got to the Natural

00:43:36.318 --> 00:43:39.519
rate we're back at output equal to

00:43:38.280 --> 00:43:42.200
Natural rate of output what is happening

00:43:39.519 --> 00:43:42.199
to inflation

00:43:43.800 --> 00:43:48.720
here so now we're back at the natural

00:43:46.318 --> 00:43:51.239
what is happening to

00:43:48.719 --> 00:43:53.480
inflation well this diagram tells you

00:43:51.239 --> 00:43:55.879
something very specific it says it's not

00:43:53.480 --> 00:43:58.440
changing so now your inflation at least

00:43:55.880 --> 00:44:00.559
is not changing

00:43:58.440 --> 00:44:03.079
okay so that's

00:44:00.559 --> 00:44:07.800
good at least not Rising here it was

00:44:03.079 --> 00:44:10.160
Rising it's not changing but what is the

00:44:07.800 --> 00:44:12.079
problem inflation not changing when

00:44:10.159 --> 00:44:15.480
you're at 9% is not a good outcome for

00:44:12.079 --> 00:44:18.559
the FED want 2% not

00:44:15.480 --> 00:44:20.318
9% okay so they when you have this

00:44:18.559 --> 00:44:22.400
modification you need to do more than

00:44:20.318 --> 00:44:24.639
that you know because you need to bring

00:44:22.400 --> 00:44:26.720
expected inflation down so you need to

00:44:24.639 --> 00:44:29.239
overshoot a Fed that finds itself with

00:44:26.719 --> 00:44:32.118
9% inflation and has expected inflation

00:44:29.239 --> 00:44:34.358
and anchor needs to be inflation much

00:44:32.119 --> 00:44:35.720
lower so needs to raise interest in the

00:44:34.358 --> 00:44:37.519
short run much higher than the natural

00:44:35.719 --> 00:44:39.919
rate of interest rate so it gets

00:44:37.519 --> 00:44:41.440
negative inflation here so you can bring

00:44:39.920 --> 00:44:45.920
the 9% back to

00:44:41.440 --> 00:44:48.880
2% no so I have to generate a minus 7%

00:44:45.920 --> 00:44:51.240
here and to generate a minus 7% here I

00:44:48.880 --> 00:44:52.760
need to bring output much below the

00:44:51.239 --> 00:44:55.519
natural rate of output I need to cause a

00:44:52.760 --> 00:44:57.760
big recession to do that and that's the

00:44:55.519 --> 00:45:00.119
reason the bank central banks don't want

00:44:57.760 --> 00:45:03.240
to be in this scenario because with this

00:45:00.119 --> 00:45:05.280
of inflation if expected inflation

00:45:03.239 --> 00:45:06.959
becomes an anchor then there's no way

00:45:05.280 --> 00:45:09.000
around that the FED will have to cause a

00:45:06.960 --> 00:45:11.079
big recession to get out of inflationary

00:45:09.000 --> 00:45:14.000
problem

00:45:11.079 --> 00:45:15.760
okay contrast that with a case in which

00:45:14.000 --> 00:45:17.838
the market the expected inflation is not

00:45:15.760 --> 00:45:19.839
equal to lag inflation but is equal to

00:45:17.838 --> 00:45:23.119
whatever the FED tells them is the long

00:45:19.838 --> 00:45:25.719
run average 2% so now suppose that

00:45:23.119 --> 00:45:28.800
therefore rather than having here Pi

00:45:25.719 --> 00:45:33.799
minus one I have that Target Pi Bar

00:45:28.800 --> 00:45:36.839
which is 2% so yeah we got to 9% but for

00:45:33.800 --> 00:45:39.440
the FED to go back to say the FED would

00:45:36.838 --> 00:45:41.279
say whoop I mess up you know clearly set

00:45:39.440 --> 00:45:43.599
a real interest that was way too low and

00:45:41.280 --> 00:45:45.519
so I end up with 9% inflation but if

00:45:43.599 --> 00:45:48.280
credibility is maintained and still

00:45:45.519 --> 00:45:49.719
people expect 2% in the medium run then

00:45:48.280 --> 00:45:51.920
that means that the FED doesn't need to

00:45:49.719 --> 00:45:54.439
cause a recession to bring inflation

00:45:51.920 --> 00:45:57.559
back to the normal level it just needs

00:45:54.440 --> 00:46:00.480
to bring output to a level equal to

00:45:57.559 --> 00:46:03.319
potential out so it just need to raise

00:46:00.480 --> 00:46:06.679
interest to RN to the Natural rate of

00:46:03.318 --> 00:46:08.119
the r star not to our Star Plus

00:46:06.679 --> 00:46:12.000
something in order to have this

00:46:08.119 --> 00:46:13.640
inflation in the short okay and we're

00:46:12.000 --> 00:46:14.800
there at this moment in the verge of

00:46:13.639 --> 00:46:18.039
these two worlds we have been

00:46:14.800 --> 00:46:20.960
alternating between the two worlds still

00:46:18.039 --> 00:46:22.679
more biased towards the good World in

00:46:20.960 --> 00:46:25.000
which really the FED doesn't need to

00:46:22.679 --> 00:46:26.399
cause a the need the FED needs to slow

00:46:25.000 --> 00:46:29.199
down the economy because it still need

00:46:26.400 --> 00:46:31.760
to bring out put down to YN but that's a

00:46:29.199 --> 00:46:33.358
small change in practice all these

00:46:31.760 --> 00:46:35.480
things are growing over time it just

00:46:33.358 --> 00:46:39.440
means that the economy grows at a lower

00:46:35.480 --> 00:46:40.519
pace for a few quarters okay but it's

00:46:39.440 --> 00:46:42.559
very different to have to bring

00:46:40.519 --> 00:46:45.000
temporarily output down here because for

00:46:42.559 --> 00:46:46.359
that you need to sort of bring the

00:46:45.000 --> 00:46:48.760
growth has to become

00:46:46.358 --> 00:46:52.440
negative for some period of time in

00:46:48.760 --> 00:46:54.480
order to bring inflation

00:46:52.440 --> 00:46:58.480
down

00:46:54.480 --> 00:46:58.480
good so

00:46:58.599 --> 00:47:04.200
big lessons from uh this part is that as

00:47:01.519 --> 00:47:06.000
I said before in the M run so so I

00:47:04.199 --> 00:47:07.358
haven't changed at I haven't changed any

00:47:06.000 --> 00:47:09.039
of the two models I told you what was

00:47:07.358 --> 00:47:11.838
the model of the short run the slm

00:47:09.039 --> 00:47:13.079
that's still true here I told you then

00:47:11.838 --> 00:47:15.039
what was the model of the natural rate

00:47:13.079 --> 00:47:16.559
of unemployment and all that and that

00:47:15.039 --> 00:47:17.920
there we didn't have any monetary policy

00:47:16.559 --> 00:47:19.760
or anything like that we we look at what

00:47:17.920 --> 00:47:20.960
happened in the labor market and we

00:47:19.760 --> 00:47:25.680
determin the natural rate of an

00:47:20.960 --> 00:47:27.440
employment and that was it okay so so

00:47:25.679 --> 00:47:29.078
the medium run here is when we are in

00:47:27.440 --> 00:47:32.000
that world which has nothing to do with

00:47:29.079 --> 00:47:34.440
monetary policy it has all to do with

00:47:32.000 --> 00:47:36.760
real variables okay what is a n what is

00:47:34.440 --> 00:47:38.240
a equilibrium long-ter real interest

00:47:36.760 --> 00:47:40.839
rate what is a natural rate of

00:47:38.239 --> 00:47:45.399
unemployment things of that

00:47:40.838 --> 00:47:48.119
kind um but monetary policy what does do

00:47:45.400 --> 00:47:50.680
is certainly determine in the short run

00:47:48.119 --> 00:47:52.880
equilibrium output and but in the medium

00:47:50.679 --> 00:47:54.399
run it's is determines what is the

00:47:52.880 --> 00:47:55.720
nominal interest rate equilibrium

00:47:54.400 --> 00:47:58.920
nominal interest rate and the level of

00:47:55.719 --> 00:48:01.639
inflation because the economy will have

00:47:58.920 --> 00:48:05.400
a real interest rate which is the rst

00:48:01.639 --> 00:48:07.598
star and RN the economy has RN but the

00:48:05.400 --> 00:48:10.280
fed and the FED will not get to pick

00:48:07.599 --> 00:48:12.599
what RN is the only thing that the FED

00:48:10.280 --> 00:48:14.280
will get to pick in the medium run is

00:48:12.599 --> 00:48:16.519
what is a nominal interest rate that is

00:48:14.280 --> 00:48:19.440
consistent with that RN because supposed

00:48:16.519 --> 00:48:22.679
the RN is say

00:48:19.440 --> 00:48:25.318
2% if the if the economy ends up having

00:48:22.679 --> 00:48:27.598
3% inflation on average that means that

00:48:25.318 --> 00:48:29.159
the nominal interest r rate for the long

00:48:27.599 --> 00:48:32.280
run is going to have to be

00:48:29.159 --> 00:48:33.759
5% is instead that economy has 2%

00:48:32.280 --> 00:48:35.640
inflation average then that means that

00:48:33.760 --> 00:48:38.720
the the long run nominal interest rate

00:48:35.639 --> 00:48:40.159
will be 4% so monetary policy affects

00:48:38.719 --> 00:48:42.118
the nominal interest rate nominal

00:48:40.159 --> 00:48:43.358
variables in the M run but not the real

00:48:42.119 --> 00:48:45.440
variables the real variables are

00:48:43.358 --> 00:48:47.880
determined by the real sector and that's

00:48:45.440 --> 00:48:50.760
often refer as the neutrality of money

00:48:47.880 --> 00:48:52.798
in the medium run and the long run money

00:48:50.760 --> 00:48:54.400
tends to be neutral and that's that's

00:48:52.798 --> 00:48:56.838
what it means

00:48:54.400 --> 00:48:58.599
that real variables are determined by

00:48:56.838 --> 00:49:00.759
something entirely different but in the

00:48:58.599 --> 00:49:03.359
short run monetary policy is the main

00:49:00.760 --> 00:49:06.040
game game in town and in the medium run

00:49:03.358 --> 00:49:08.400
it's just about inflation it's not about

00:49:06.039 --> 00:49:11.159
real

00:49:08.400 --> 00:49:16.599
activity

00:49:11.159 --> 00:49:16.598
um Let me let me stop here
