Abstract

Through a unique and powerful analysis of the Great Recession, Atif Mian and Amir Sufi establish that the main culprit was the over-indebtedness of households, in contrast with the dominant view that the problems in the financial intermediaries and the resulting disruption of credit were at the core. Their analysis yields a set of novel empirical findings that have solid implications about the mechanisms at play leading the economy towards the catastrophe. This enables the authors to provide a theoretical framework for the researchers that strive to write models capable of generating recessions such as the latest. Furthermore, by the same virtue, they manage to provide a valuable evaluation of the policy responses in the face of the crisis. The authors conclude the book with a groundbreaking policy recommendation to avoid similar recessions in the future: replacement of debt with equity-like instruments that provide a better sharing of aggregate risk.

Özet

Atif Mian ve Amir Sufi, son finansal krizin özgün ve güçlü bir çözümlemesini yapmak suretiyle krizin arkasında, baskın görüşün öne sürdüğü gibi, finansal aracılık şirketlerindeki güçlükler ve bunun sonucu oluşan kredi arzındaki problemlerin değil, hanehalkı borçluluğundaki aşırılığın yattığını tespit etmektedir. Kitaptaki analizler ekonomiyi felakete sürükleyen mekanizmalar hakkında sağlam çıkarım sağlayan ampirik bulgular ortaya koymaktadır. Bu sayede yazarlar son yaşanan durgunluk benzeri ekonomik durgunlukları ortaya çıkarabilecek modeller kurmak isteyen araştırmacılar için teorik bir altyapı önermektedirler. Aynı vesileyle, kriz karşısındaki politika tepkilerinin faydalı bir değerlendirmesi de yazarlar tarafından sunulabilmektedir. Kitap çığır açıcı bir politika önerisi ile sonuçlanmakta ve bu öneride, borcun bir mali araç olarak yerini, genel riskin daha iyi paylaşılmasına olanak tanıyan özsermaye benzeri araçlara bırakmasını sağlayacak şekilde düzenlemelerin yapılması tavsiye edilmektedir.
