It has been widely argued that the crisis and recession were caused by "greed" and the failure of mainstream economics. In this book, leading economist William Barnett argues instead that there was too little use of the relevant economics, especially from the literature on economic measurement. Barnett contends that as financial instruments became more complex, the simple-sum monetary aggregation formulas used by central banks, including the U.S. Federal Reserve, became obsolete. Instead, a major increase in public availability of best-practice data was needed. Households, firms, and governments, lacking the requisite information, incorrectly assessed systemic risk and significantly increased their leverage and risk-taking activities. Better financial data, Barnett argues, could have signaled the misperceptions and prevented the erroneous systemic-risk assessments. When extensive, best-practice information is not available from the central bank, increased regulation can constrain the adverse consequences of ill-informed decisions. Instead, there was deregulation. The result, Barnett argues, was a worst-case toxic mix: increasing complexity of financial instruments, inadequate and poor-quality data, and declining regulation. Following his accessible narrative of the deep causes of the crisis and the long history of private and public errors, Barnett provides technical appendixes, containing the mathematical analysis supporting his arguments. -- Back Cover.Monetary policyUnited StatesFinanceMathematical modelsFinancial crisesEconometricsUnited StatesEconomic policy2009-Electronic books.Monetary policyFinanceFinancial crises.Econometrics.332.401/5195Barnett William A886936MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910457198203321Getting it wrong2462331UNINA01455aam 2200385I 450 991071052210332120160705110708.0GOVPUB-C13-5f89a4bb260527a4372fe97436d875d5(CKB)5470000002478079(OCoLC)953032754(EXLCZ)99547000000247807920160705d1989 ua 0engrdacontentrdamediardacarrierZIP - the Zip-Code Insulation Program (version 1.0) economic insulation levels for new and existing houses by three-digit ZIP code : users guide and reference manual /Stephen R.
