Professor Stiglitz led a discussion on the future of China's economic framework, including questions of the efficiency of markets, the role of law and economics in promoting equity and fairness within society, and the harmonization of national market regulations within the rules and regulations of the global economy. Discussions also addressed China's regulatory responses to the global financial and economic crisis, within the context of a larger rethinking of financial and capital market liberalization.

Interpreting the Causes of the Great Recession of 2008
161kb pdf This paper places the onus for the crisis on failures in the financial system, including its flawed incentives and models. The regulators should have recognized the risks posed by the pervasive failures in the financial system and the growing bubble. The paper identifies other factors that may have contributed to the magnitude of the crisis, such as low interest rates (both as a result of Fed policy and global imbalances) and inadequate risk assessments by investors. It argues that particular actions (such as the mishandling of the Lehman Brothers collapse) may have also contributed to the magnitude of the crisis and affected the timing, but that the crisis would have occurred in any case. It argues, moreover, that low interest rates are neither necessary nor sufficient for the existence of bubbles and that low interest rates could have been a boon to the economy if the funds had been well allocated and risks well managed by the financial system. It dispenses with other attempts to shift blame away from the central failures of the financial system. It seeks to explain the failures of the financial system, including the incentives for shortsighted behavior and excessive risk taking, identifying too‐big‐to‐fail institutions and deficiencies in corporate governance as key. |
