Stronger consumer price inflation remains elusive in JapanJapanese consumer prices rose for the second straight fiscal year in the year ended in March, data from the internal affairs ministry showed Friday. The figure marks modest progress in the central bank's effort to lift the nation out of deflation, though the rate of increase remains well short of its 2% inflation target.
¿Réquiem por la economía global?El riesgo latente de una “tercera ola de la recesión” provocada por la inminente guerra comercial EEUU-China y el posterior estallido bursátil podría provocar que el estancamiento económico se adueñe de la economía mundial en el Bienio 2019-2020.
Did Capitalism Kill Inflation?If economics were literature, the story of what happened to inflation would be a gripping whodunit. Did inflation perish of natural causes—a weak economy, for instance? Was it killed by central banks, with high interest rates the murder weapon? Or is it not dead at all but just lurking, soon to return with a vengeance?(...) There’s increasing evidence that the killer wasn’t the Fed or the European Central Bank or the Bank of Japan, even though the central bankers have tended to believe in Milton Friedman’s dictum that inflation is “always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon.” Researchers are finding that low inflation is in large part a consequence of globalization or automation or deunionization—or a combination of all three—which undermine workers’ power to bargain for higher wages.(...) In the view of Harvard economist Lawrence Summers, persistently low inflation is a symptom of what he calls secular stagnation. Given that interest rates are already low, one essential treatment for such a condition is an aggressive fiscal policy, according to Summers, who was President Bill Clinton’s Treasury secretary and director of President Barack Obama’s National Economic Council. He’s not a fan of Trump’s tax cuts but argues that the federal government should step up public investment, even if it means taking on more debt.(...) In an April 15 presentation at the Peterson Institute for International Economics, Summers said the major industrial economies will be stuck with low inflation and low interest rates “for another 10 to 15 years, at least.”One reason for lowflation’s persistence is that it’s connected to the aging of societies. “I used to say that was just an excuse, but I begin to wonder if the Japanese have a point,” says Adam Posen, president of the Peterson Institute. “Maybe aging affects people’s willingness to bargain for wages, to switch jobs, to invest.”(...) One new idea gaining traction is for central banks to sacrifice a bit of their independence and coordinate their efforts more closely with fiscal authorities, who are in charge of taxation and spending. The Peterson Institute’s Posen told Bloomberg that if the federal government embarked on big projects in fields such as clean energy or health care, it could induce the private sector to follow suit. That could put the entire economy on a higher growth path, he says.
Stocks are calm and volume has dried up — is this the ‘calm before the storm’?
Breaking through zero: New options for monetary expansion in the EU(...) the question is: how low can they go? More specifically, how could the ECB implement a rate cut of up to 6 percentage points in the zero- or close-to-zero-interest-rate environment that the eurozone has been stuck in since the financial crisis of 2008-2009?(...) For these economists, the main obstacle standing in the way of such a challenging monetary policy is cash. In a cashless economy, they argue, central banks could “simply” cut interest rates as low as they wish. The existence of cash, however, gives depositors the opportunity to withdraw their money from the bank once interest rates fall below the zero-limit. (...) In a world of cash, the policy of deeply negative interest rates seems doomed from the outset. However, the IMF authors have come up with a solution, which their colleague Alexei Kireyev has called “de-cashing” the economy. Obviously, phasing out cash can only be a long-term project. Some Scandinavian economies may already be approaching the IMF’s ideal of cashlessness, but most EU countries lag behind.
