Sommario/riassunto

This paper develops a framework for analyzing macro-financial linkages in the United States. We estimate the effects of a negative shock to banks' capital/assetratio on lending standards, which in turn affect consumer credit, mortgages, and corporate loans, and the corresponding components of private spending (consumption, residential investment and business investment). In addition, our empirical model allows for feedback from spending and income to bank capital adequacy and credit. Hence, we trace the full credit cycle. An exogenous fall in the bank capital/asset ratio by one percentage point reduces real GDP by some 1½ percent through its effects on credit availability, while an exogenous fall in demand of 1 percent of GDP is gradually magnified to around 2 percent through financial feedback effects.

Sommario/riassunto

'Frank Norris and American Naturalism' brings together in one volume Donald Pizer's lifelong exploration of Frank Norris's work, ranging from his 1955 discussion of point of view in 'The Octopus' to his 2010 essay on the thematic unity of that novel. The essays as a whole seek to demonstrate both the coherence of Norris's thought and his contribution toward the establishment of a specific form of naturalism in America. The collection's principal focus is Norris's most enduring works, the novels 'McTeague' and 'The Octopus', though his other



fiction and literary criticism are also discussed.
