The business cycles theories of Wicksell (1898), Schumpeter (1912), Mises (1912), Hayek (1929, 1935) and Minsky (1986, 1992) explain business cycles by distorted prices on capital markets, buoyant credit expansion and overinvestment. The exuberance during the boom endogenously causes the...

The macroeconomic policy response to the global financial and economic crisis has brought interest rates (close to) zero and the public debt to record levels despite institutionalized monetary and fiscal polity rules. The paper discusses the long-term implications of asymmetric fiscal and...

It could be quite simple to quite simple to argue that, in the realm of the Austrian School of Economics, public finance plays no role. However, the Austrian perspective is very wide and, starting from Hayek, it is possible to trace a path that arrives to Roger Garrison. Garrison’s...

We show how since the mid 1980s expansionary monetary policies in the large economies and “vagabonding liquidity” have contributed to bubbles in the new and emerging markets. Based on the monetary overinvestment theories of Hayek and Wicksell we describe a wave of bubbles and crises that was...
