This paper explores from a historical perspective the process of financialization over the course of the 20th century …. We identify four phases of financialization: the first, from the 1900s to 1933 (early financialization); the second, from … early 1970s and leads to the Great Recession (complex financialization). Our findings indicate that the main features of the …

The interaction of macroeconomic variables may change as the nominal shortterm interest rates approaches zero. In this paper, we propose an empirical model capturing these changing dynamics with a time-varying parameter vector autoregressive process. State-dependent parameters are determined by...
