Description

Hardcover, 208 pages, 9780691227016 Macroeconomics and Financial Crises rethinks how technological change, credit booms, and endogenous information production combine to generate financial crises as inherent reactions to macroeconomic dynamics. Gary Gorton and Guillermo Ordoñez identify short-term debt, collateral, and information as common elements present in all financial crises. During a credit boom, the economy reaches a tipping point where information production becomes too tempting, disrupting short-term debt and cutting most firms out of the credit market. This book provides new perspectives on the intricate relations between macroeconomics and financial crises, showing how financial crises are triggered by the dynamics of macroeconomic variables.
