Cet article présente un cas particulier de régression non fondée, lorsqu'une variable dépendante a un coefficient de corrélation simple proche de zéro avec deux autres variables, qui sont en revanche très corrélées entre elles. Dans ce type de régressions, les paramètres mesurant la...

This review of the book "The Challenge of Financial Stability: A New Model and its Applications" by Goodhart C.A.E. and Tsomocos D.P. highlights the potential of the framework of strategic partial default of banks with credit chain on the interbank market for further theoretical and applied...

This paper investigates the relevance of the No-Ponzi game condition for public debt (i.e. the public debt growth rate has to be lower than the real interest rate, a necessary assumption for Ricardian equivalence) and of the transversality condition for the GDP growth rate (i.e. the GDP growth...

The bargaining power of international banks is currently still very high as compared to what it was at the time of the Bretton Woods conference. As a consequence, systemic financial crises are likely to remain recurrent phenomena with large effects on macroeconomic aggregates. Mainstream...

Dans cet article, les infrastructures financières augmentent l'efficacité du secteur bancaire: elles diminuent le pouvoir de marché des intermédiaires financiers (provenant de coûts de transactions et d'une différentiation spatiale horizontale), elles diminuent le coût du capital,...

Explanatory variables with simple correlation coefficients with the dependent variable below 0.1 in absolute value (such as aid with economic growth) may have very large and statistically significant estimated parameters in multiple regressions, which are unifortunately "outliers driven" or...

This paper investigates the identification, the determinacy and the stability of ad hoc, "quasi-optimal" and optimal policy rules augmented with financial stability indicators (such as asset prices deviations from their fundamental values) and minimizing the volatility of the policy interest...

This paper surveys the theoretical and empirical relationship between economic growth and financial systems. Firstly, the existence of financial systems has a positive effect on growth because it increases the insurance against the illiquidity of real investment, the diversification of...
