This paper discuss the effects of the governmental intervention on the economy based on Austrian and Keynesian School approach. In this sense, we show that the Austrian theory of crises is nothing more than a particular application of the theory about the deeds of wrong co-ordination of government’s intervention in the areas of fiscal, monetary and credit, which always originates in a systematic discoordination (intra and inter-temporal) of the real economy productive structure. In other words, the crises are the results of government’s interventions through economic policies.

AbstractThis article investigates the determinants of non-performing loans for a panel of EEC countries and the implications for the real economy, covering the period 2005-2017. Among the determinants, the paper proposes macroeconomic factors, banking sector variables, and cost and governance indicators. Additionally, the paper explores the extensive use of macroprudential measures in these countries. Using a panel with fixed effects and a dynamic GMM estimator, the results support the existing findings that adverse macroeconomic developments are generally associated with higher non-performing loans, while increases in NPLs have a rather transitory effect on the real economy and credit. NPL ratios increase if macroeconomic conditions deteriorate, while an improvement in the government effectiveness reduces them. A more profitable and better capitalized banking sector generally leads to lower NPLs. Moreover, countries with higher past credit growth rates witnessed higher NPLs in the periods that followed. These results support the use of macroprudential measures for increasing the resilience of borrowers, such as limits on the indebtedness level (such as debt service-to-income, DSTI or loan-to-value, LTV caps), as tools to temper the credit cycle.


Significance This comes near the end of a tremendously challenging first year of Rousseff's second term, marked by collapsing popularity, mass protests and deep recession. However, impeachment is far from a foregone conclusion. The legal grounds are unclear and the government seems more likely than not to have enough congressional support to stave off the process. Indeed, the timing could increase the odds that Rousseff will complete her term. Impacts Financial markets will be especially volatile in the coming months. At best, a recovery in the real economy will not start before late 2016 or even 2017. Nevertheless, impeachment turbulence could gradually lead to more stable politics.


Significance The government insists it can ride out broader US and EU sanctions dating from 2014, a view supported by the Standard & Poor's (S&P) rating agency's July assessment that the Russian economy is strong enough to withstand new sanctions. Impacts While its food import ban will continue, Russia's ability to hit back with further counter-sanctions is limited. Sectoral sanctions against banks will trickle down to the real economy, impeding its expansion. Pro-Western, liberal voices will be marginalised as long as sanctions are in place.

Yeltsin’s oligarchy1was 15, or even 20 or even 50, very rich people who featured all the time in the mass media. They were very ambitious. They were prepared to go openly i1nto the government or Duma, or to finance a political party. They were well known because they were popular. However, it would be difficult to argue that they controlled any part of the real economy.
