Ten years after the 2008 economic recession, the government is ill-prepared to defend itself against the next economic downturn. Interest rates remain low, partisanship remains intractable, and the federal debt is rising at an unprecedented rate. These factors will hamstring traditional monetary and fiscal stimulus.
In his new book, “Law and Macroeconomics,” Yale Law Professor Yair Listokin argues that we can respond more quickly to the next economic crisis by deploying a policy approach whose proven success is too rarely acknowledged: regulation. He proposes that we take seriously the idea that law can function as a macroeconomic tool, capable of stimulating demand when needed and relieving demand when it threatens to overheat economies. And though history has demonstrated that law is an unwieldy instrument of macroeconomic policy, Listokin argues that under certain conditions it offers a vital alternative to the monetary and fiscal policy tools.
On Tuesday, September 10, at an Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center event, Listokin presented the key findings of his research, and panelists deepened the discussion by addressing the following questions:
What role does the law play in stimulating aggregate demand?
How can laws and regulations complement traditional fiscal and monetary policy approaches to stabilizing the business cycle?
Can regulations act as an effective alternative to fiscal and monetary policy during economic downturn?
Which regulations should lawmakers implement to combat economic shocks?

Suraj Malladi received the Award for Academic Achievement in Macroeconomics. A double major in mathematics and economics, Malladi excelled in both fields and also pursued advanced graduate course work. Originally from Fairfax, Virginia, he plans to work in finance and hopes to pursue graduate studies in the future.
The 2016 MFM Summer Session held June 11–15 gave doctoral students and other early career researchers a thorough grounding in in macroeconomic modeling. Students learned techniques, data sources, evidence, applications, and methods to assess how the financial sector impacts the economy as a whole. The program brought together leading academics and experts who build and use models to manage system risk in financial and policy settings. Speakers presented models and methods in contexts focused on understanding the last financial crisis—and preventing the next one.
Turkey’s economic and social performance since 2000 has been impressive. However, more recently the country has faced a number of internal and external challenges, notably macroeconomic imbalances, geopolitical uncertainties, changing patterns of global capital and trade flows, and the effects of climate change.
These challenges have tested investor confidence and by the summer of 2018 there has been a significant depreciation of the Turkish lira.
After the formation of the new Government, the authorities responded with appropriate coordinated policy action. Monetary policy was tightened substantially and the New Economic Programme was introduced. This resulted in macroeconomic stabilisation, but at the cost of a sharp slowdown in economic activity.
Meanwhile, the private sector in Turkey is deleveraging. Credit growth, which had been an important catalyst for economic growth in the past, is unlikely to pick up quickly. In the EBRD’s view, the outlook for the medium term is for growth to be below trend.
After local elections in March 2018, the authorities have a four-year window with no scheduled polls on the horizon. They are now considering a range of structural reforms to ensure a more sustainable medium and long-term growth path for the economy. This year’s Investment Outlook Session explored this question from the perspective of a top-level Turkish policymaker.

This conference features recent research on the role of housing and household debt in macroeconomics. Topics include the effects of fiscal stimulus through the housing market on the economy, and how quantitative easing affects the economy through mortgage and housing markets.
To what extent can we prepare for the global shifts reshaping our world? How should we respond to digitalisation, urbanisation, resource scarcity and economic power shifts? Will futureproofing today make for a better tomorrow? The Megatrends session explored global macroeconomic and geostrategic forces that are shaping the region and our world in significant ways. It was recorded before a live audience who asked questions directly to the panelists, and was later transmitted for the EBRD podcast series. This panel aimed to expose the depth and complexity of these Megatrends which will require innovative and collaborative solutions at the local, national, regional and international levels. With the help of five well-known thought leaders, the session discussed the major trends, their drivers, opportunities and risks, as well as explored what actions might help to manage the waves of disruptive transitions.

Chairperson of the Joint Monitoring and Evaluation Commission (JMEC), Festus G. Mogae, expresses his disappointment at the meeting of JMEC held in South Sudan’s capital Juba on 2 February 2016. “I am slightly disappointed that another date has come and gone…This disappointment stems not solely because a day on a calendar was missed, but because the potential, the opportunity, the possibility of a new government is so close, so vital for this country, that it must be taken, he explained. “Africa has too many lost generations already,” he lamented. “Let us use the opportunity we have had ourselves.”
He point that, today the South Sudanese pound is close to 30 against the US dollar, and pleaded with the parties. “I plead with you to avoid ruin. form the transitional government of national unity without further delay, restore stability, and repair the damage that has been done before it is too late, so that urgent economic assistance can become available.”
He pointed out that sound macroeconomic management in itself will not address South Sudan’s humanitarian crisis. Mogae assured the meeting that he received information from the ceasefire monitoring teams, that people in Mundri are “starving to death” saying that there would be more displacements from Equatoria to neighbouring Uganda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

02.02.02 Nicaragua.
Cacao drying and sorting for export
The Pacific Coast of Nicaragua was settled as a Spanish colony from Panama in the early 16th century. Independence from Spain was declared in 1821 and the country became an independent republic in 1838. Britain occupied the Caribbean Coast in the first half of the 19th century, but gradually ceded control of the region in subsequent decades. Violent opposition to governmental manipulation and corruption spread to all classes by 1978 and resulted in a short-lived civil war that brought the Marxist Sandinista guerrillas to power in 1979. Nicaraguan aid to leftist rebels in El Salvador caused the US to sponsor anti-Sandinista contra guerrillas through much of the 1980s. Free elections in 1990, 1996, and again in 2001 saw the Sandinistas defeated. The country has slowly rebuilt its economy during the 1990s, but was hard hit by Hurricane Mitch in 1998.
Nicaragua, one of the hemisphere's poorest countries, faces low per capita income, flagging socio-economic indicators, and huge external debt. Distribution of income is one of the most unequal on the globe. While the country has made progress toward macroeconomic stability over the past few years, a banking crisis and scandal has shaken the economy. Nicaragua will continue to be dependent on international aid and debt relief under the Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) initiative. Donors have made aid conditional on the openness of government financial operation, poverty alleviation, and human rights. Nicaragua met the conditions for additional debt service relief in December 2000. Growth should move up moderately in 2003 because of increased private investment and exports.

Machine learning techniques are being actively pursued in the private sector and have been widely adopted in fields such as computational biology and computer vision. However, the role of machine learning in economics has so far been limited. This workshop was organized to provide a forum to discuss how ideas and techniques from machine learning could be applied to economic questions. The workshop will bring together researchers from computer science, statistics, econometrics and applied economics to foster interactions and discuss different perspectives on statistical learning and its potential impact on economics.
The workshop began with overview talks on machine learning and statistics by researchers from outside of economics. Three following sessions were organized around the themes of causal inference, prediction, and networks and complex data. Each session included the presentation of papers in economics that make use of machine learning methodology, followed by a discussion by researchers from multiple communities.
