"here too, a dandy word) virtually their evil motives. So a few look-in-the-mirror-why-don't-you quotes are appropriate. I've been besides lazy to facial expression upwards these quotes, together with thence I give thank you lot Zack for doing it.
This also volition affair Mon -- I accept a slice coming out that mentions the failure of the widespread "deflationary spiral" forecast. These quotes offering a prissy documentation.
By the way, yes, at the fourth dimension I warned of the postulate chances of inflation, together with that didn't hand off either. I was quite clear it was a risk non a forecast. California has a postulate chances of earthquakes. And the failure to run into 1 inwards half dozen years does non evidence geologists are all mendacious morons. There are precedents for the inflation risk. Reinhart together with Rogoff pointed to quite a few cases inwards which afterward a "quiet period," banking crises are followed past times sovereign debt crises or defaults.
As I run into it, that postulate chances remains, though it has declined a lot. The argue it declined is that our government, together with the European governments, kept their eyes on long-term budget issues. Our Administration has from the firstly ever promised long-term budget repair, despite Keynesian theory that says if you lot desire to stimulate, you lot proceed tranquillity virtually hereafter taxes or spending reductions. No indicate inwards waking upwards the Ricardian genie. You mightiness complain the Administration wasn't serious enough, but they were ever proverb at that topographic point would hold upwards a long term plan, together with bond markets patently bought it. Many inwards Congress besides accept had their eyes on long-term budgets, together with long-term financial solvency depends if anything to a greater extent than on Congress than on this Administration.
The Europeans accept gone through several rounds of "austerity," despite Keynesian together with particularly Krugmanian excoriation. (True, they started amongst counterproductive high-marginal-tax austerity, but Europe seems speedily to accept learned that less spending together with structural reform are a amend path.) They came darn close. If Italy together with Kingdom of Spain had defaulted, nosotros would probable hold upwards having a dissimilar conversation today.
Doing so, our together with Europe's governments persuaded bond markets that the currency together with debt are condom -- perhaps fifty-fifty besides condom - -and avoided, for now, the sovereign debt fate Reinhart together with Rogoff warned about. If I erred inwards overestimating the inflationary risk, I erred inwards underestimating the financial sobriety of all our governments, together with I overestimated the extent to which they believed the Keynesian advice to ignore, default, devalue, or inflate away debt. That's why no earthquake inwards 6 years hasn't changed all that much my views on the "model," inwards this representative of underlying causes of inflation.
On the "spiral" or "vortex." Perhaps at that topographic point are a few true-blue Keynesians reading who tin aid me out. I sympathise the thought that deflation leads to high existent rates leads to lower need leads to lower output leads to to a greater extent than deflation. ("Understand" ≠ "Agree".) I don't run into how the model ever predicts this to end. Is at that topographic point some clear "and it bottoms out when x y z?" In my model, it bottoms out when you lot striking the tiptop of the acquaint value Laffer curve, together with hereafter taxes cannot hope to pay dorsum the deflationary increase inwards the existent value of the debt. But I don't know where it ends inwards the touchstone old-Keynesian model. Positive eigenvalues are positive eigenvalues. Maybe some wealth trial of regime bonds (Another agency to pose "my model")? But why doesn't that halt the spiral inwards the firstly place? Is it correct to characterize the model's prediction every bit an endless spiral to zero? If non why not?
