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?

Prospects of economic growth of Georgia and progress achieved towards macroeconomic stability were discussed by Mamuka Bakhtadze, Prime Minister of Georgia and Christine Lagarde, Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in Washington D.C. today.
Focus was made on the reforms planned by the Government of Georgia, which are aimed at the economic advancement, fundamental transformation of the education system and development of human capital.
IMF position was positive towards the current economic trends in the country and significant progress achieved towards macroeconomic stability was underlined.
It was noted that due to the high economic performance of the country, IMF has upgraded the economic growth projections for Georgia.
Managing Director of the IMF and Prime Minister of Georgia expressed readiness to continue the fruitful cooperation in future.
Mme Lagarde noted that IMF will look into the fiscal space to enable the implementation of the vision conveyed by the Prime Minister of Georgia.
"We had a very good discussion about the current economic situation of Georgia, about the progress made from the macroeconomic stability point of view, about the reforms that are underway and we had a special discussion about this project to develop an investment for the education in Georgia. I told the Prime Minister that we would look carefully at the combination of macroeconomic stability and the appropriate investment in the education to make sure that there will be a sensible fiscal space to do that" stated the Managing Director of the IMF after her meeting with the Head of the Government of Georgia.
The 2017 OECD Economic Survey of China assesses the country’s recent macroeconomic performance and proposes policy measures to promote higher-quality growth. Improving corporate performance by boosting innovation activities and entrepreneurship, enhancing the standards of corporate governance and reforming state-owned enterprises by exposing them more to market mechanisms would raise efficiency and boost household incomes, increase employment opportunities and raise people’s overall well-being. Moving to less energy-intensive production is also key to achieve greener and more sustainable growth. Greater redistribution through the tax-and-transfer system and better targeting of social assistance would enhance inclusiveness. At the same time, inequalities in access to education, healthcare and pensions need to be addressed.

Mipim asia 2011 - conference - opening keynote - macroeconomic outlook and implications for asian real estate - robert ciemniak
In this workshop, organizers and participants discussed a series of papers using a common conceptual framework based on comparable data sets across seven of the largest Latin American countries, including Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Ecuador, Mexico and Peru. The analyses are based on rich historical data collected from 1960s to the present.
The 1960s are an interesting starting point for analyses; beginning in this decade, Latin America was plagued by macroeconomic crises including defaults, devaluations, balance of payments crises, and banking crises or sudden stops. Current research suggests that these crises have a strong detrimental effect on output and employment.
Moreover, the events of the last five years made clear that developed economies are not immune to crises. While bad macroeconomic fundamentals like chronic deficits and high public debt appear as potential causes for the crisis, this is not always the case. Expectations and multiplicity may play a key role in these events.
In addition to the case studies, organizers presented several theoretical papers that examine the role of fiscal and monetary policies and the role of expectations on the probability of the crisis.
