1 What Can We Learn From the Current Crisis in Argentina? Timothy J. Kehoe University of Minnesota and Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis June
2 The economy of Argentina finds itself submerged in a great depression that, even if though began four s ago, deepened after mid 2001 with average quarterly falls of deseasonalized GDP with respect to the previous quarter of 5 percent for the last two quarters of 2001 and the first of This violent deepening of the recession occurred just at the moment that economic agents, almost universally, became convinced of the impossibility of sustaining the Convertibility Plan. Dirección Nacional de Coordinación de Políticas Macroeconómicas, Secretaría de Política Económica (2002)
3 What Happened in Argentina in ? The Brazilian devaluation did not lead to problems for the Argentinian current account both exports and the trade surplus in fact grew. March : President De la Rúa rejected the plan presented by the Minister of the Economy, Ricardo López Murphy, to reduce the fiscal deficit. After López Murphy s resignation, De la Rúa appointed Domingo Cavallo, the architect of the Convertibility Plan during the first Menem administration, as Minister of the Economy.
4 Cavallo presented a new economic plan in the lower house of Argentina s congress. On 28 March 2001, the congress refused to allow Cavallo to cut government salary and pension costs, and the government sold debt to cover the deficit. Cavallo s alternative: La Ley de Déficit Cero (Zero Deficit Act): Quasi Monies. In December 2001, the government defaulted on its debt and, in January 2002, it abandoned the Convertibility Plan.

12 Great Depressions of the Twentieth Century Project Use growth accounting and applied dynamic equilibrium models to reexamine great depression episodes: United Kingdom (1920s and 1930s) Cole and Ohanian Canada (1930s) Amaral and MacGee France (1930s) Beaudry and Portier Germany (1930s) Fisher and Hornstein Italy (1930s) Perri and Quadrini Argentina (1970s and 1980s) Kydland and Zarazaga Chile and Mexico (1980s) Bergoeing, Kehoe, Kehoe, and Soto Japan (1990s) Hayashi and Prescott (Review of Economic Dynamics, January 2002 revised and expanded version forthcoming as Minneapolis Fed volume)
13 Lessons from Great Depressions Project The main determinants of depressions are not drops in the inputs of capital and labor stressed in traditional theories of depressions but rather drops in the efficiency with which these inputs are used, measured as total factor productivity (TFP). Exogenous shocks like the deteriorations in the terms of trade and the increases in foreign interest rates that buffeted Chile and Mexico in the early 1980s can cause a decline in economic activity of the usual business cycle magnitude. Misguided government policy can turn such a decline into a severe and prolonged drop in economic activity below trend a great depression.
14 Applied dynamic general equilibrium model The representative consumer maximizes t log (1 )log( ) t = β γ C 1980 t+ γ hnt Lt subject to Ct + Kt +1 Kt= wl t t+ ( rt δ ) Kt. Feasibility: α 1 α t t+ 1 t t t t. C + K ( 1 δ ) K = AK L

For 0< η 1, φ '( X/ K) > 0, φ''( X/ K) 0, φ( δ) = δ, φ'( δ ) = 1. The model without adjustment costs is the special case η = 1. In numerical experiments η = 0.8. Should we model rigidity in the labor market (instead)?
