Output: Intro. [Recording date: November 9, 2009.] Book ambitious research project. What's the goal of the project; summarize? Wanted to provide and analysis of crises that look for recurring patterns in a quantitative way. Big inspiration is Kindleberger's classic work on financial crises; narrative. What are the cycles that lead up to these big blowouts? Do countries start to borrow and live beyond their means? Do their asset markets develop bubbles? Do their consumer savings rates plummet? Look at a wide range of different kinds of crises, and try to categorize what they have in common within each category. Different varieties: the kind we just saw, financial, or in the old days, called banking crises. Currency crashes: collapses in the foreign exchange market, for example, Asia in 1997-1998, simultaneously had the banking crisis and a currency crash. Government debt crises--sovereign debt crises, when a government stops paying its debt to foreigners--good documentation of those episodes in the economic literature: involve powerful creditor, creditor in NY or in London. What is much less documented is domestic debt crises: What happens when the government defaults on the local citizens? Inflation crises. Also have currency crashes along the lines of what has recently been quantified by Barro and Ursua. Five big varieties, and stock market on top of that, so six; and they do share characteristics.

Output: What do crises involving the repudiation of external debt and domestic debt have in common? Any chance that the U.S. government might default on its obligations down the road? Most commonplace episodes since WWII have been largely in the domain of emerging markets, in which confidence has been lost very quickly. There are some advanced economies that had post-WWII defaults, for example Greece, which now sits at over 100% debt/GDP, was in a state of default till the mid-1960s, not that long ago. Generally what you see before a default on sovereign external debt is an inability of the government to service that debt. Usually because that debt is denominated in somebody else's currency. When Korea in 1997 came to the brink of default, it was because the debt was denominated in U.S. dollars and the Bank of Korea cannot print dollars. They can print won. The U.S. debts are denominated in U.S. dollars, so will probably be inflated away before you see an outright repudiation or default. You can just print the money. Inflation is a form of partial default. We won't default de jure, but we might default de facto. In the book, whole chapter devoted to issue of who is penalized or who gets defaulted on--external creditors, domestic creditors, or both? Domestic creditors, who are usually the ones holding the domestic-currency debt--that doesn't apply to the United States because foreigners also hold U.S. dollar-denominated debt; we are a reserve currency. In the majority of cases, it is domestic residents holding domestic-currency debt. Take into account both de jure defaults and also defaults through inflation and sometimes hyperinflation.

Output: Title of book: "This Time is Different." Meaning? Ironic, meant to capture the "we are geniuses" mentality that characterizes the boom prior to the crash. Look, those crises happen to other people and at other times, not to us; when you point out that other things are off kilter like price-to-earnings ratios or debt-to-income, reply is that the old rules of valuation don't apply; this time is different. Story varies from episode to episode but the common theme is that those rules just don't apply to us. We're smarter; we've gone as far as the Great Moderation suggests; those things happen in emerging markets; they don't happen here. It is that mentality that allows both policy makers and market participants to overlook what begins to be mounting evidence that red lights are blinking; indicators are showing--be it a bubble in the real estate market or an unsustainable current account deficit or household debt levels off the charts, or a combination. Book title: worked at the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Right after the Mexican peso crisis of 1994-1995, traveled all over Asia; Asian countries were running huge current account deficits and financing the current account with a lot of short term capital inflows. Yet perception was very complacent: in Mexico those indicators pointed to a problem, but those problems don't happen in Asia; we have high saving rates and Asian values. Major tipping point: that frame of mind is an endemic problem. Euphoria. Psychologically fascinating. Nassim Taleb podcasts. Different take on title: Can always argue that each one is different. Title applies to before the fact, but it also applies to after the fact. Have a tendency to say let's get the forensic equipment out and look deeply into what's special about this one. About this one people say it's a perfect storm; but maybe it's simpler. Book is a very forest-based approach. Example: "This time is different" applies at different points in the cycle. Have been emphasizing the psychology before the crisis, but now a different sort. Right now restructuring our banks, or more accurately not restructuring them--very similar to what Japan did in the 1990s; keep doing the same thing over again and expect a different outcome. Einstein quote, definition of insanity. Before the crisis is when it reaches its most ridiculous dimensions. Let's look at all the intricacies, develop new models, develop new regulation, and all kinds of new things to deal with the same old problem. Quote may not be Einstein's.

Output: Current crisis: set of general phenomena which precede banking crises--this is not a sovereign debt crisis or inflation crisis--yet. We are providing the same medicine to cure the disease that caused the disease, giving banks lots of easy credit and making it easy for people to continue to borrow money. Antecedents; different story about the cause: current account story. Role of the current account and the typical cause of these kinds of problems. Studying capital flows since the early 1990s, Guillermo Calvo; capital flows cycle. Paper with Vincent Reinhart: capital flow bonanzas, running large current account deficits and financing them by borrowing with the rest of the world. Right now, when witch hunts start to emerge after the crisis: is it the regulators? the Fed? Wall Street? But the fact of the matter is that one of the beauties of the work that went into the book is that it cuts across different exchange rate regimes, different political systems, different budgetary situations, more markets, less markets, financial markets--yet common factors emerge, and one is running large current account deficits. If you have a disease that is both a 16-year-old and an 80-year-old are affected by the disease, it manifests itself so that the two are not identical but there are common symptoms. Not just running a current account deficit in one year, but sustained, meaning that over time you are becoming increasingly indebted to the rest of the world.

Output: Confused: Don Boudreaux writes on this at Cafe Hayek. Background of book is showing how similar emerging market countries are to developed countries; poor countries compared to rich countries; hubris, rich countries tend to think they are different. Challenge claim that running a current account deficit is increasing indebtedness to the rest of the world. In the United States we ran large, persistent capital account surpluses, current account deficits, going back to the mid-1970s till the present. Those did not necessarily increase U.S. indebtedness to the rest of the world. If foreigners buy American equity, if they buy corporate debt that finances real productivity and factories and projects, isn't there a distinction between that and, say, the U.S. government borrowing money to live beyond its means? Is it really the case that a current account deficit means increasing debt to the rest of the world. Asians tried to convince of that prior to 1997. Current account statement encompasses both advanced economies and emerging markets. Asia prior to its crisis had huge current account deficits, a lot of which was foreign direct investment. Wouldn't call it just debt flows. Ex ante difficult to know how productive those investments are. Also ex ante difficult to know how those funds flowing in are going to have multiplier effects through the financial industry. In both emerging markets and advanced economies, there is a high correlation between current account deficits and credit availability. The actual type of inflow does matter in the issue of the abruptness of the reversal: short term lending can be brutal in how quickly it turns around--was true in Mexico and Asia; wasn't true in the United States because it wasn't primarily bank lending. The association between large current account deficits and availability of domestic credit is very strong. Earlier work with Graciela Kaminsky on the twin crises. Money is fungible. Ireland, Spain, and the United Kingdom all had huge capital flow bonanzas. How do you define a bonanza? Definition has to be country-specific: running a particularly large current account deficit relative to what you have historically have run. Big by your own standards. Spain. Those were countries that also had very large housing price appreciation. What's fascinating about crises in general, this one in particular, and economics is that there are many things going on at once, and it's very hard to understand that they are sometimes related; can't hold one constant while changing another. There is a tendency for people to look at the piece of the elephant they are focused on, leg, side, trunk, tail. Monetary policy is one story that people tell, housing policy problems; suggesting more underlying problem, which is an enormous increase in availability of credit that flows into asset prices, and through the banking sector often into housing prices. Examples: United Kingdom and United States have floating exchange rates, so they have independent monetary policy; but Ireland and Spain did not, part of the Euro zone. The inflow provides availability of credit which can be funneled into productive investments. That often happens in the early stages of the cycle. Run-up to the Asian crisis a really good example of that. As the inflow continues, more peripheral products. Move down the productivity chain. Many factors; don't want to downplay the importance of others.

Output: Key factoid often forgotten: consumer indebtedness. Run-up in housing prices in the 1998-2002-2003 period. In advance of the subprime explosion, housing policy, incentives, change in credit standards making it easier for people to borrow. Book: consumer indebtedness growing and savings rate falling for a very long period in advance of that. Coincides with the current account story. Goes back into the 1980s. Abstract time line or flow chart of the sequencing of events. Very often the process of the big credit boom, the seat of it starts with financial liberalization or financial innovation. That can come in waves. Often what you have during those episodes is innovation getting ahead of regulation and supervision. In the early 1980s: Regulation Q lifted. Financial liberalization and innovation facilitate credit availability. In some countries, like Mexico, the years before the crisis reserve requirements had been reduced to zero. Lots of regulations enforced; Fannie and Freddie; Basel I and Basel II; hard to know how much is lax regulation versus hubris. Date of financial liberalization--periods in which interest rate ceilings removed, directed credit removed--common theme is that during that period, wild wild west, regulation and supervision get very low marks. Anecdote: long extended capital markets mission in Indonesia in 1995. Regulators there were saying you can create banks overnight but you can't create bankers. Aware that there were problems brewing; but had gone from very few banks to dozens of banks in a short period of time. Latest round was the securitization of mortgages which made everyone very comfortable. Take the good with the bad. Worrisome part is the innovation happens but regulation and supervision lags way behind. In Mexican crisis, banks were using derivatives, which were supposed to reduce risk; regulators caught unawares. Common theme.

Output: Excessive leverage. Sounding like Russ's father, born at start of the Great Depression: "It's obvious what we've learned from this! Debt is bad." Debt can be bad; but without debt life is a lot harder. Debt is both the lifeblood of finance but also can be the poison. Innovation and liberalization can be part of the problem. What do we learn from that? Determining what is excessive debt shouldn't be rocket science, but that's when we start bending the rules. Not all debt is bad; but reach certain thresholds, which can be quite low. Paper on debt intolerance. Emerging markets suffer from debt intolerance--get into trouble at seemingly low levels of debt. Half of the defaults since WWII on sovereign debt ratios that would have met the Mastricht Criteria of debt having to be lower than 60% of GDP. Tolerable debt thresholds can be extremely low, especially if you don't have a track record. Economics doesn't have much to say about what creates confidence or a loss of confidence. If you were to look coldly at a country that has a debt of 40% of GDP--not very high by international standards--but if you also know it had defaulted on its debt several times at comparable levels, you might start looking with greater scrutiny. What we created inside the United States was a developing country--the subprime market was a developing country inside the United States, where you had a lot of new entrants into credit markets with no credit history and often with no employment history. Like having the same credit standards that you apply to emerging markets applied to households here. Confidence shifts are critical in determining the timing of the crisis; but important issues during the boom stage often get shoved under the rug. Second part of remarks: what have we learned? More concerned with what we will forget. Think that we will have memories of this for a while but the next generation will not. The group of households that have lost their homes in this crisis, the memory will live much longer there; but on the whole, prediction: we will forget again.

Output: Calomiris podcast: Different story: look at the 1874-1913 period, increased capital flows, globalization, and compare it to the last 30 or 40 years, which had a similar flavor, there was a much larger number of banking crises in the more recent period. Different definition: bank crisis defined as large waves of bank failures with lots of losses. In the earlier period there was a handful of crises--Argentina, Australia--where there were serious loss of net worth; Norway, Italy. In all those cases, government had distorted risk-taking by subsidizing in; and in the recent period there's been an increase of that via "too big to fail." Guarantees. Two parts: first factual, document the crises for 66 countries in the book; incidence in the earlier period was huge. The only reason the number is higher for the more recent period is that we now have more countries--shouldn't say the only reason--a reason. They were colonies back then; and some countries that didn't have a banking sector have more developed banking now. The denominator is bigger. The share of crises is still somewhat higher; but issue of guarantees is very important. If you feel that in good states of nature you will get a great return and in bad states of nature you will be bailed out, your willingness to undertake risk and to borrow is going to be importantly affected by that. Look at post-WWII crises, what is private debt before the crisis often winds up being public debt afterwards. Public debt surges in the aftermath of all of these; and in the current situation part of it is deficit spending; but a large part of it is bailout. Bailout not just in the direct sense as in TARP, but assuming assets. Measure of rising indebtedness: central government indebtedness adjusted for inflation increases by about 86% in the three years following a crisis. Conservative estimate; a lot of new guarantees are not yet realized and are not included. Right now the Fed has about a trillion dollars of Fannie and Freddie on their balance sheet, and that's not going to turn out very well; hasn't been recognized. Implicit guarantees is a very important magnifier. The kind of fast innovation, moving capital mobility through the financial system, has been associated with incidence of banking crises. The dropoff in the incidence of banking crises in the period after WWII is a pretty marked one; plotted out from 1800 through 2008. Quiet period. Part of the world had been leveled after the war. When so much has been destroyed, though, a lot of what you are rebuilding is productive stuff; low-hanging fruit is very productive.

Output: Too big to fail, implicit guarantee issue: how does it fit in with the rest of the story? Go 30,000 feet up and criticize own story: Implicit guarantees, excessive leverage on the part of financial institutions, homeowners, government-sponsored enterprises--everybody is playing with a other people's money. But is that just the trees? If you go back to the forest, the current account deficit, it's the giant pool of money theory. Skeptical, but it runs through a lot of the stories. What's driving that current account deficit? Is it implicit guarantees? No. What they do is magnify the effects. If you don't have credit availability the issue of moral hazard is--wouldn't say moot, but you are not going to borrow. Seeds have to be sown by credit availability. Then the moral hazard story amplifies it because it creates for the government hidden debts, which don't take into account the fact that huge chunks of the economy are borrowing on the expectation that they will be bailed out by the government. It amplifies the demand for credit. How much of it is the lack of incentive to invest money carefully? China buying Fannie Mae bonds in the hundreds of billions of dollars and not worrying if it's going to be safe because they will be bailed out if they get into trouble. Very lethal amplifying: makes boom larger and displaces quality of lending toward the lower end. Historical footnote: England ran a current account surplus for close to a century--is that true? That it lent to the rest of the world. Emerging markets of the day--all that money was coming from England. Cycles of debt fueled at the time by England as the lender. Huge cycles in which they were the biggest lender. You can run deficits or surpluses for extended periods of time; may not be unusual for your standards. England as the reserve currency had its own cycle in which if you looked at it relative to Australia or Brazil, you'd say what a deficit! But it wouldn't qualify as a capital flow bonanza.

Output: Marketplace is suggesting that there's not going to be a lot of inflation in the near term. What is the pattern of inflation after these banking crises? No clearcut aggregate pattern for the whole period. Divide it up: on the whole, banking crises had more inflationary consequences after WWII than before WWII. No association prior to WWII. After WWII, it's really predominantly accounted for by Latin America. Outside Latin America, not a strong link in the three to five years after a banking crises. After five years many things going on. Inflation not something imminent, but more on a 5-10 year horizon where you've been carrying a lot of debt for a long time. In inflation analysis, book extended it to five years. Pretty optimistic: speaks to the next three years; we have been two years into the crisis. Difficult and tenuous to link it back to the crisis. In America, the Fed has injected a lot of money into the economy as a response to the crisis. The inflation question becomes more pressing in a 5-10 year time horizon--not 5 years from now but from when the crisis started, which was two years ago. If we had a history of defaults, that horizon would be compressed. For other cases, you have more time. A lot of the world in this crisis turned to U.S. Treasury Notes, which would not be the case for emerging markets. VoxEU article, on too big to fail: Do you see a lot of people running into a burning building? Height of the crisis in 2008. Are the dollars' days numbered as a reserve currency? During the height of the crisis the alternatives to dollar assets were not there. You need a model to beat a model; need another currency to beat this one. Tallest pygmy theory. It wasn't irrational, but it was lack of alternatives. Debt issuance, issue by issue going back to the early 1800s in study. As early as the 1890s after Bering's crisis, you start to see emerging markets issue more debt denominated in dollars rather than British pounds; also see more linkage to the dollar than the U.K. pound. The pound had begun to have competition. After WWI, then NY was in, big time. By 1967 end of sterling zone, de facto it had already happened. That's a long period of time over which the dollar had emerged as an alternative. Central banks don't buy euros per se--they buy assets. In the euro market, still have German bonds, Greek bonds, Spanish bonds--and they are very different. Don't have the equivalent of the U.S. Treasury market. And China has a nonconvertible currency. People running into dollar assets in 2008 at the height of the crisis and the dollar even appreciating--very unusual--has to do with the dollar still retaining its role as reserve currency. If we continue to make policy mistakes that will change.

Output: Quote from Arnold Kling, in a study for Mercatus Center: "The lesson is that financial regulation is not like a math problem, where once you solve it, the problem stays solved. Instead a regulatory regime elicits responses from firms in the private sector. Those financial institutions adapt to regulations; they seek to maximize returns within the regulatory constraints...." Agree? Where might we make some progress? Share sentiment that the regulators are running behind the innovation; regulation can't be static, which makes it very challenging. Tendency for complacency to set in as time elapses from your last crisis. Not really confident that we are going to come up with the regulatory framework that prevents a major financial crisis from happening again. Not in the stakes now in the United States, but elsewhere they are brewing. As the awareness fades and financial markets move to something else, which they will, it will all happen again.

Output: Had a very strange experience with this company. I do order a lot of pet supplies online but found Drs. Foster and Smith to be very expensive compared to other companies so have not used them for that. This time I ordered several willow garden fences. Their description of the product was rather incomplete, but better than some. It came very quickly (although they are close to me), but it was shipped to my billing address, rather than my shipping address. This could have been a disaster, as there is a reason I did not ship it to the billing address, but luckily it ended being only an inconvenience. When I received word (through a shipment tracking service) that it had been delivered to my billing address, I called the company immediately, to make them aware of the problem and therefore preserve my rights should the product be damaged or stolen by the time I could get to it to retrieve it. The representative I spoke with sounded annoyed at my call and kept saying, "I don't understand why you are making this a problem." I explained that I was simply looking to have them make a note that it had been left at the wrong address, and, actually, I thought I was doing them a favor by letting them know that something had obviously gotten screwed up (businesses don't know they have a problem if people don't tell them). Finally I convinced to the rep to LOOK at my order, and he proceeded to insist that I had not specified a different shipping address. I assured him I had, and said I had an order confirmation from their company listing a separate shipping address and offered to e-mail it to him (he said he had no way to receive an e-mail). After he started getting more and more surly with me, I asked to speak with a supervisor, all the while remaining very calm and respectful. He was clearly irritated with my request, but said he would connect me. A few minutes later he came back on the phone and said that a supervisor looked in it and realized that indeed they had made a mistake. I never did get to speak with the supervisor, but in the end the rep apologized to me and said he made a note in my file. Had he not apologized, this would have been a negative review, but he redeemed himself in the end. The product, as it turns out, was fine because the delivery person had the sense to put it in the garage instead of the porch. But I value customer service above all else (and I will pay more to get it when necessary), so the the best review I can give is a neutral. In order to receive a positive, all the representative would have had to say when I called was, "I'm very sorry the mistake and I hope it hasn't inconvenienced you too much. We will take responsibility if there is any problem with the delivery. Thank you for letting us know this happened." Customer Service 101

Output: (I never ordered RX supplies.) My first 2 or 3 orders were problematic- damaged boxes/contents and missing item. In fairness, I don't know if the missing item fell out of the torn box or was not included. They did an expedited replacement. After problems with deliveries from elsewhere, I realized FedEx was to blame. Foster and Smith amended my account so that future orders would be handled by UPS. No problems since! My orders always arrive in about 3 business days. I order pet supplies every 6 weeks and sometimes buy extras. Some garden finds: glass pantry moth trap- did not work, will use satisfaction guarantee for refund compressed brick coir for reptiles- worked great in garden and saved a trip to the home center wildbird food wreath- beautiful gift, recipient said squirrels loved it LOL! They very rarely offer any type of coupon, but they do run sales. I shop through a third party site that rebates a pecentage of my purchase.

Output: Please beware that ordering your pets prescriptions on line via DRS FOSTER AND SMITH will save you money, however it takes FOREVER to receive the drugs, your pet could die while waiting and they do not accept any responsibility. I ordered 3 different prescriptions for our animals online, and had to send in the prescriptions because they would not accept them unless faxed by the vet. Ok, I understand that. But I'm in Michigan, and they are in Wisconsin, I sent the prescriptions on Friday, October 3rd, received a call on the 9th to confirm, and they claim it took 5 days for them to receive the paperwork? I don't think it's unreasonable to assume I should have recieved them within 5 days if they ship ground service. Then I was told they would be shipped that day. NOT. Called the 10th to find out where they were, oops, they are shipping that day can expect delivery on Monday, nothing received. Spoke to supervisor and she said they were put on TRUCK Friday, but JUST LEFT TODAY AND WON'T BE DELIVERED UNTIL THE 15TH!!!! EVEN THOUGH I'M ONLY 1 STATE OVER. I'm LIVID.

Output: I have been a regular customer of Drs. Foster & Smith for several years. My most recent order from them, however will be my last. Their new shipping policy is the reason. My last order, placed over a weekend, was for a very light weight item. I was charged $9.99 for shipping, even though I live in the Milwaukee, WI area and they are located in Rhinelander, WI. On the same day I placed an order with another company located in New Jersey. It also was a very light weight item. I was not charged anything for shipping. The order from New Jersey arrived the following Wednesday, while the order from Drs. Foster & Smith did not arrive until the following Friday. I contacted Drs. Foster & Smith to ask why this happened, and was presented with their "shipping policy". This company used to be great in shipping orders out. I usually received my orders in one or two days, and I don't remember such stiff shipping charges. Until these policies change, I will be shopping elsewhere.
