Brown Bag Luncheon - Blunders in Economic Theory

 Blunders in Economic Theory and the Crash of 2008
SPEAKER: Mostafa Moini
Tuesday, November 18th
Behind the private and public institutional failures that brought about the current crisis lie the ideas that drove these institutions’ policies and actions. Although these involved much more than just economic ideas the latter played a prominent role. Specifically, aside from a few dissenting voices, by and large economists failed to recognize the dangers that inhere in two major developments within the world economy, namely, globalization of production and finance.
Globalization has led to offshoring of manufacturing production and an increasing variety of services, including some high-end categories, thus severely limiting the economy’s export capacity, and diminishing the extent and variety of the higher-paying jobs. Lower export capacity has weakened the economy’s ability to overcome its external deficit, and loss of high-wage jobs has lowered tax revenues, thus worsening the budget deficit.
Such malady could not have gone very far were it not for the reserve-currency status of the dollar that made it possible to finance the external and internal deficits by selling U.S. government securities to foreign central banks and other entities abroad. This allowed the country to live beyond its means for many years by increasing its outstanding external debt to levels that reached far beyond what would be prudent. Eventually the sheer volume of dollar assets held abroad began to exert downward pressure on the value of the dollar. And the worsening budget deficit left little hope for the prospect of U.S. putting its house in order anytime soon. During the entire period of development of this precarious course of events economists did little to awaken the public to its dire consequences. What is the nature of the two theoretical blunders that paved the way for the crash of 2008?
Attendance is Free! Please RSVP. Box lunches are available for $6. Choices include: Ham & Swiss, Turkey, Roast Beef, Chicken Salad.
