Editor's Notes
- U.S. Government takes over mortgage giants, adding a $5 trillion mortgage liability to U.S. taxpayer dollars.Lehman Brothers files Chapter-11, the largest bankruptcy filing in U.S. history.Government announces $85 billion rescue loan to AIG in exchange for 80% equity stake in the company.WaMu becomes largest thrift failure with $307 billion in assets. JP Morgan pays $1.9 billion for WaMu banking operation.Bank of America buys Merrill Lynch for $50 billion, at $29 per share.Barclays purchases North American Banking Division of Lehman for $250 million plus trading options.Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley become bank holding companies. Government increases company oversight and allows them access to Fed’s discount window.
- The day after Lehman filed Chapter-11 Wall Street saw it’s worst day in seven-years since the opening after September 11, 2001.By contrast, as Libor had its highest jump this past week (3.77%) since 1999, Dow Jones continued to rise at the hopes of the government bailout plan reaching a conclusion.
- Government spending has increased over the past few years, but will not make a significant enough impact to rise GDP.
- GDP will be down (what percent)Consumption and investments will decrease Unemployment will increase to 7%The stock market, housing market, and corporate taxes will all be downConsumer confidence will remain low but is steadying thanks to a new President and hopes of economic change.Fed will lower interest rates – target 1.75%T-Bill interest rates will be down.Dollar will be up, slightly.
- Consumers may also be inclined to purchase international products due to strengthening dollar.
- Increased government spending will not outweigh the decrease in consumption and decrease in investments during quarter-one, therefore GDP will fall and shift the IS curve to the left. The IS curve will also rotate and become steeper as swelling unemployment coupled with diminishing household income will make consumption behavior less sensitive to interest rates. As foreclosures continue to rise banks will tighten lending practices to reduce borrower risk. To avert a potential credit freeze, the Fed will drop interest rates in the first quarter of 2009, thus the LM curve will shift to the right. The LM curve will also rotate and become flatter as “h” decreases and individuals are more inclined to use more credit cards. People will be less responsive to income, thus flattening the LM slope.
