The Living Dead: Thoughts on Macro and Depressions

“Macro is not my field. One of the reasons it is not my field is that, so far as I can tell, it lacks a theoretical structure as solid or as well supported as price theory—popularly but misleadingly called “Micro.” One result is that a course on the subject is a tour of either a cemetery or a construction site.”

Uncertainty about Government Policy and Stock Prices — by Lubos Pastor, Pietro Veronesi

Uncertainty about Government Policy and Stock Prices — by Lubos Pastor, Pietro Veronesi

We analyze how changes in government policy affect stock prices. Our general equilibrium model features uncertainty about government policy and a government that has both economic and non-economic motives. The government tends to change its policy after performance downturns in the private sector. Stock prices fall at the announcements of policy changes, on average. The price fall is expected to be large if uncertainty about government policy is large, as well as if the policy change is preceded by a short or shallow downturn. Policy changes increase volatility, risk premia, and correlations among stocks. The jump risk premium associated with policy decisions is positive, on average.

Health Care: Rate Cuts and Uncertainty

More important than the rate hikes, the article alludes to the uncertainty health care reform causes for employers, especially ones in a recession. Uncertainty created by changing and complicated legislation, especially legislation that is time-inconsistent can be extremely harmful (see Dr. Higgs on how regime uncertainty prolonged the Great Depression: http://www.independent.org/publications/tir/article.asp?a=430 )
