Monetary and financial forces in the Great Depression

What caused the worldwide collapse in output from 1929 to 1933? Why was the recovery from the trough of 1933 so protracted for the U.S.? How costly was the decline in terms of welfare? Was the decline preventable? These are some of the questions that have motivated economists to study the Great Depression. In this paper, the authors review some of the economic literature that attempts to answer these questions.Depressions

A study of the Great Basin Land Snail oreohelix strigosa depressa (Cockerell)

journal articleA survey of the previous mention of this snail provides a practical background for this essentially morphological study. The literature applicable to Oreolxdix strigosa depressa (Cockerell) in Utah may be summarized by reference to the following articles in the bibliography: directions for preparing and preserving, Chamberlin and Jones (1929); histological methods, Jones (1932); technique of sectioning the shell, Jones (1935, on tiger snail); locality records, Chamberlin and Jones (1929), Chamberlin and Berry (1929), Berry (1930), Berry (1931), Woodbury (1933), Jones (1935, on Weber Canyon mollusks), and Pilsbry (1939) ; comparative anatomy of genitalia with reference to taxonomy, Pilsbry (191(5) (1917) (1933) and (1939); comparative histology of the supramarginal ridge, Jones (1938); and physiology (burrowing reactions), Jones (1935, Nautilus)

Efficiency, Distortions and Factor Utilization during the Interwar Period

In this paper, we analyze the International Great Depression in the US and Western Europe using the business cycle accounting method a la Chari, Kehoe and McGrattan (CKM 2007). We extend the business cycle accounting model by incorporating endogenous factor utilization which turns out to be an important transmission mechanism of the disturbances in the economy. Our main findings are that in the US labor wedges account for roughly half of the drop in output while efficiency and investment wedges each account for a quarter of it during the 1929-1933 period while in Western Europe labor wedges account for more than one-third of the output drop and efficiency, government and investment wedges are responsible for the remaining during the 1929-1932 period. Our findings are consistent with several strands of existing descriptive and empirical literature on the International Great Depression

Money, sticky wages, and the Great Depression

This paper examines the ability of a simple stylized general equilibrium model that incorporates nominal wage rigidity to explain the magnitude and persistence of the Great Depression in the United States. The impulses to our analysis are money supply shocks. The Taylor contracts model is surprisingly successful in accounting for the behavior of major macroaggregates and real wages during the downturn phase of the Depression, i.e., from 1929:3 through mid-1933. Our analysis provides support for the hypothesis that a monetary contraction operating through a sticky wage channel played a significant role in accounting for the downturn, and also provides an interesting refinement to this explanation. In particular, both the absolute severity of the Depression's downturn and its relative severity compared to the 1920-21 recession are likely attributable to the price decline having a much larger unanticipated component during the Depression, as well as less flexible wage-setting practices during this latter period. Another finding casts doubt on explanations for the 1933-36 recovery that rely heavily on the substantial remonetization that began in 1933.Money supply ; Wages ; Depressions

Kemelesetan ekonomi dunia 1929-1933 : kesan sosioekonomi di Negeri-negeri Melayu Bersekutu

Tesis ini mengkaji kesan sosioekonomi kemelesetan ekonomi dunia 1929-1933 ke atas Negeri-Negeri Melayu Bersekutu (NMB). Kajian ini merupakan satu percubaan untuk menunjukkan bagairnana ekonomi NMB yang berasaskan industri timah dan getah diintegrasikan ke dalam ekonomi antarabangsa oleh penjajah Inggeris turut menjadi mangsa kemelesetan ekonomi dunia yang meninggalkan banyak kesan negatif yang serius ke atas penduduknya. This thesis examines some of the socioeconomic effects of the 1929-1933 world economic depression on the Federated Malay States (FMS). An attempt is made here to show how the FMS economy based essentially on the rubber and tin industries and which had become integrated with the world economy under British colonial rule became a victim of the world economic depression with serious negative effects on its population
