Definition of Financial Crisis A situation in which the supply of money is outpaced by the demand
for money. This means that liquidity is quickly evaporated becauseavailable money is withdrawn from banks (called a run), forcing bankseither to sell other investments to make up for the shortfall or tocollapse. BusinessDictionary.com
Is applied broadly to a variety of situations in which some financialinstitutions or assets suddenly lose a large part of their value. In the19th and early 20th centuries, many financial crises were associated
with banking panics, and many recessions coincided with these panics.Other situations that are often called financial crises include stockmarket crashes and the bursting of other financial bubbles, currencycrises, and sovereign defaults.Financial crises directly result in a loss of
paper wealth; they do not directly result in changes in the realeconomy, may indirectly do so, notably if a recession or depressionfollows. Wikipedia
Many economists have offered theories about how financial crisesdevelop and how they could be prevented. There is little consensus,however, and financial crises are still a regular occurrence around the
world.

Asset Market effects on balance
sheets There are several factors which contribute to financial
crises. Increases in interest rates, increases in uncertainty, asset
market effects on balance sheets and bank failures.
The increase in moral hazard diminishes lendinglesseconomic activity
Firms net worth can be reduced by an error on a balancesheet (stock prices going down)
This leads to a decrease in lending (less collateral), whichlead to borrowers taking higher risks (moral hazard)

Deterioration of Financial
Institutions Balance Sheets Banks play a major role in financial markets because, of
they are well positioned to engage in information-producing activities which produce productive investments
for our economy. The state of banks' balance sheet plays a very important
part on lending.
If compromised, the banks' balance sheets would suffersubstantial contractions in their capital.
Which would then lead to fewer resources to lend, andlending in all would decline.
Which then results in a decline in investment spending,slowing down economic activity.

Banking Crises and Increase in
Uncertainty If financial institutions' balance sheets are
deteriorated severely enough, they will begin to fail.
By definition a bank panic occurs when multiple banksfail simultaneously.
In a panic, depositors fearing for the safety of theirmoney and without insuracnce or knowing a particular
bank's loan portfolio will withdraw as quickly aspossible. When this happens in a large amount, thereis a loss of information production in financialmarkets and a bank;s financial intermediation.

Banking Crises and Increase in
Uncertainty ContinuedWith a bank lending decrease, supplies of funds
available to borrowers decrease as well. Which thenleads into higher interest rates.
With an increase in adverse selection, bank panicscause the inability of lenders to solve this selectionprocess in credit markets.
With the inability to solve the adverse selection makesbanks' less likely to lend, and then a decline inlending, investment, and aggregate activity occurs.

History: Great DepressionAs the economic depression of the 1930s got worse and
worse banks were failing at alarming rates. During the1920s an average of 70 banks failed each yearnationally. After the crash during the first 10 months of1933, 744 banks failed.
In all, a total of 9000 banks failed during the 1930s. By,
then depositors nation wide had lost $140 billionthrough bank failures...

Interest Rate Increases Increases in interest rates also play a role in promoting a
financial crisis through an effect on cash flow.
With this negative increase in interest rates, a firm would
have fewer internal funds and must raise funds from anexternal source.
Banks might not lend out to firms even if they have a goodrisk.
Resulting in a drop in cash flow, and again adverseselection and moral hazard problems become more severe.Impacting lending, investment, and overall economicactivity.

Government Fiscal Imbalances Government imbalances may create fears of default on
government debt.
These fears can spark a foreign exchange crisis inwhich the value of the domestic currency falls sharplybecause investors pull their money out of the country.
The decline then leads to destruction of the balance
sheets of firms with large amounts of debt. Thesebalance sheets once again lead to an increase inadverse selection and moral hazard problems.

Dynamics of a Financial Crises The Three stages
Stage One: Initiation
Stage Two: Bank Panics Stage Three: Debt Deflation
8/12/2019 1130 Group 06
12/28
Stage One: Initiation Mismanagement of Financial Liberation/Innovation
Asset Price booms and busts
Spikes in interest rates, General increase in Uncertainty when banks fail
8/12/2019 1130 Group 06
13/28
Mismanagement of Financial
Liberalization/Innovation Elimination of restrictions on markets or institutions
New financial markets/institutions are created Ex. Subprime residential mortgages
Good in the long run because it stimulates financialdevelopment
Bad when management begins taking on too muchrisk
Result: Credit boom where banks lend too much andthey cant keep enough information or they have noexperience
8/12/2019 1130 Group 06
14/28
Mismanagement of Financial
Liberalization/Innovation Contd Government creates a safety net which leads to Moral
hazard
Banks will only win on high risk or the government loses
Too much risk-taking eventually leads to losses andbanks net-worth (capital) falls
Leads to a cutback on lending or deleveraging
8/12/2019 1130 Group 06
15/28
Asset Price Boom and BustAssets, stocks and real estate prices get driven up by
what investors incorrectly think they are worth
Result is an asset price bubbleA price bubble can be driven up by credit booms if
credit is used to purchase assets
The bubble bursts and prices fall to correct levels
causing everyone to lose Banks again will deleverage

Spikes in interest rates 1800s most of U.S. crises were precipitated by
increases in Interest Rates
This could be seen usually in London Bank panics would lead to a need for liquidity
In turn interest rates would spike; sometimes 100percentage points in a day
Leads to a decline in cash f lows and lending, leads toadverse selection and moral hazard

Increase in UncertaintyAlways a factor in financial crises
Rise once a recession has started
Failure of major institutions Ohio Life Insurance and Trust Company 1857
Jay Cooke and Co. 1873
Grant and Ward 1884
Bank of the United States 1930
Again leads to drop in lending, increasing adverseselection and moral hazard

Stage Two: Banking Crisis
8/12/2019 1130 Group 06
19/28
What Happens Because of worsening conditions in business and
uncertainty, depositors begin to withdraw funds frombanks
With less banks, there is a loss in domestic currency,the debt burden of domestic firms increase
Asset Write-Downs, which the asset price declines
which leads to a write-down value of the assets side ofthe balance sheet

Deterioration of Financial
Institutions balance sheetsWith financial Institutions balance sheets
deteriorating, lending declines
Which leads to a decline in investment spending
Which slows economic activity
8/12/2019 1130 Group 06

Banking CrisisWith Institutions, even healthy ones, starting to fail
A Bank Panicoccurs when multiple banks failsimultaneously.
Depositors, because of fear and uncertainty, start toremove their deposits until the point that the bank fails

Increases in Uncertainty and
Interest RatesWith an increase of uncertainty due to a stock market
crash, recession, ect.
Resulting in lenders inability to solve adverse selectionproblem make them less willing to lend
This declines lending
Investment
Aggregate economic activity

Some Examples of this Happening Panic of 1819; First major financial crisis in the United
States
Panic of 1837; the following 5 years was in depression, with
failure of banks and record high unemployment levels

Continue. Panic of 1893; caused by railroad overbuilding and
shaky railroad financing which set off a series of bankfailures
Panic of 1907; also know as Bankers Panic, occurredwhen the New York Stock Exchange fell close to 50%from its peak the previous year

Usual Explanations High consumer debt
Ill-regulated markets that permitted overoptimisticloans by banks and investors
Lack of high growth new industries
Growing wealth inequality
This all reduced spending, lowered production andlowered confidence

Stage Three: Debt Deflation Unanticipated Decline in Price Level
Adverse selection and moral hazard becomes moresevere
Economic activity declines
8/12/2019 1130 Group 06

The Great Depression Sharp Asset price increase due to a credit boom
Increased interest rates
Increased uncertainty leads to bank crises Debt Deflation
