The FRF says the government intends “a greater focus on growth and competitiveness by introducing new, statutory secondary objectives for the PRA (Prudential Regulation Authority) and the FCA (Financial Conduct Authority).” Chancellor Sunak has said that UK finance should be “globally competitive over the long term.” We wholeheartedly support the government’s aim to stimulate long-term UK economic growth, including through financial regulation.

This paper assesses the Single Resolution Mechanism and highlights overlooked aspects of its design and decision-making process that are actively strengthening and further integrating market-based finance in the European banking system. The resolution framework and its underlying conditionalities imposed by the limited public intervention toolkit and the European State Aid regime are promoting banking capital concentration and the marketization of more traditional banking systems. Meanwhile, the discretionary decisions imposed by the European technocratic body reinforces the integration agenda, with often detrimental effects for the member states of the Southern Periphery. While the Banking Union has the overall goal of financial stability and increased convergence between member states, the outcomes of the Single Resolution Mechanism point to an increase in market-based finance and riskier business models at the expense of smaller and more traditional banking systems, fostering too-big-to-fail institutions and further deepening the already rooted intra-euro divergences.","PeriodicalId":51618,"journal":{"name":"International Review of Applied Economics","volume":"36 1","pages":"403 - 423"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2022-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46592969","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Evidence is provided on the direction of causality between population and GDP in five industrialized countries (US, UK, Germany, France, and Italy) for the periods 1820–1938 and 1950–2016. Using Toda-Yamamoto Granger causality tests and Sims causality test it was found that the direction of causality during the former period was from Population to GDP or bidirectional while for the latter period, it was from GDP to population. It is also shown that during the second period per capita GDP was almost double relative to the first period. We argue that the difference may be partly explained by the direction of causality between the two variables. In the 1820–1938 period, the direction of causality is probably due to the large family model that prevailed in that period that led to rapid population growth. For the 1950–2016 period it is probably the rapid economic growth that followed the Second World War and motivated large migration flows to the developed countries we examined.","PeriodicalId":51618,"journal":{"name":"International Review of Applied Economics","volume":"36 1","pages":"608 - 621"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2022-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42802295","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the 1930s there were reforms to tackle the causes – particularly in the US with Roosevelt’s New Deal – including splitting banks’ ‘casino’ from ‘high street’ operations, and strengthening trade union rights. Following the Second World War, there were global reforms, including exchange controls to prevent cross-border financial speculation. But in the post-1980s era of privatisation and deregulation, these reforms were lobbied against and generally abandoned. The resulting speculative orgy, accompanied inevitably by increased inequality, led to the 2007–2008 international financial crisis. Reforms were promised, including increasing the degree of corporate diversity in the financial services sector, and creating ‘resolution’ plans for banks to prevent their collapse. However, the promised reforms regarding corporate diversity were reneged upon. Resolution plans were adopted in the UK, but in Europe this is being driven in a way that will strengthen the power of finance that created the problem in the first place. And the UK Government wants the regulator to promote the ‘competitiveness’ of financial services, which was tried before, and didn’t end well.","PeriodicalId":51618,"journal":{"name":"International Review of Applied Economics","volume":"36 1","pages":"291 - 301"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2022-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59406507","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We begin with a comparison of each country’s net social wage – that is, the difference between total benefits received by and taxes paid by labor – using two established methods. While the net social wage in the two countries exhibited similar trends, the increasing net social wage has distinctly different implications in the two countries due to their specific historical trajectories in the neoliberal era. In the US, the increasing net social wage reflects an ambivalent and reluctant response to workers’ social reproduction. In China, it reflects institutional changes in the welfare state, which we interpret as the Chinese state’s attempt to resolve the social-reproduction crisis caused by neoliberal reforms of the 1990s.","PeriodicalId":51618,"journal":{"name":"International Review of Applied Economics","volume":"37 1","pages":"23 - 49"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2022-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47645367","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Reviewing the literature, this paper shows that financialisation in developing countries should be distinguished from financial liberalisation and financial globalisation. Furthermore, its character is partly derivative from financialisation in developed countries, as is confirmed by two theoretical approaches, related but different from each other, namely ‘subordinate’ and ‘dependent’ financialisation. By further reviewing the empirical literature, the paper also shows that financialisation in developing countries is highly variable and different from that in developed countries regarding the conduct of non-financial enterprises, banks, and households. Moreover, the literature addresses several sources of vulnerability for developing countries relating to financialisation. Finally, there are significant literature gaps, above all, the connection between financialisation and the globalisation of production as well as the role of the state.","PeriodicalId":51618,"journal":{"name":"International Review of Applied Economics","volume":"36 1","pages":"424 - 447"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2022-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45525749","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Penrose’s theory of the firm is also an antidote to the absurdity that has been taught by PhD economists to millions of college students for over seven decades: the most unproductive firm is the foundation of the most efficient economy. The dissemination of this ‘neoclassical fallacy’ to a mass audience began with Paul A. Samuelson’s textbook, <i>Economics: An Introductory Analysis</i>, first published in 1948. Over the decades, the neoclassical fallacy has persisted through 18 revisions of Samuelson, <i>Economics</i> and in its countless ‘economics principles’ clones. This essay challenges the intellectual hegemony of neoclassical economics by exposing the illogic of its foundational assumptions about how a modern economy operates and performs. To get beyond the neoclassical fallacy, economists must be trained in a ‘historical transformation’ methodology that integrates history and theory. It is a methodology in which theory serves as both a distillation of what we have learned from the study of history and a guide to what we need to learn about reality as the ‘present as history’ unfolds.</p>","PeriodicalId":51618,"journal":{"name":"International Review of Applied Economics","volume":"42 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2022-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138512756","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is incomplete because it conflates together firms with very different productive characteristics. Drawing on Marx and Minsky’s insights, we build a taxonomy of firms showing both their productive and financial characteristics based on the rate of profit of enterprise and the interplay between its three determinants: the profit rate, the difference between the profit and the interest rate, and the leverage ratio. Considering the different possible combinations of these variables, we classify firms into seven types: normal and regular small capitals (hedge finance); speculative small, super small, and leveraged small capitals (speculative finance); and financially stressed small and zombie capitals (Ponzi finance). We show the composition and evolution of U.S. listed firms as well as relevant descriptive statistics by type of firm from 1950 to 2019. Our main finding is that the principal problem of U.S. firms is productive, not financial, as there is a high share of firms with increasingly negative profitability even before the payment of interest and despite having relatively low leverage.","PeriodicalId":51618,"journal":{"name":"International Review of Applied Economics","volume":"37 1","pages":"3 - 22"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2022-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44498470","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
