Economist in an Uncertain World: Arthur F. Burns and the Federal Reserve, 1970-78
As the Chairman of the powerful Federal Reserve Board during most of the 1970s, Burns presided over what many see as the demise of the postwar economic order. Wells goes beyond demonstrating that Burns greatly influenced the ways that Americans dealt with the crises of the 1970s to posit that an examination of Burns' tenure helps to explain the U.S. economy today

Colonial Monetary Standards Contrasted: Evidence from the Seven Years' War
The Seven Years' War warrants a reinterpretation of the colonial paper-money experiment. Pennsylvania, New York, and South Carolina with fiduciary standards issued large quantities of paper money to finance the war accompanied by only moderate increases in the rate of inflation. Massachusetts with its pure specie standard financed the war with interest-bearing debt and fared little better, if not a little worse. Success of war finance in Pennsylv…
Interest rate and expenditure effects of the banking panic of 1930
A Reconsideration of the Causes of the Banking Panic of 1930
The banking panic of 1930 has special significance for assessing the causal role of money during the Great Depression. A detailed examination of the panic-induced bank closings in November reveals that poor loans and investments in the 1920s was the principal factor contributing to the accelerated rate of bank suspensions. These findings are consistent with the. Friedman-Schwartz interpretation of the 1930 banking panic as a purely autonomous dis…

A Reconsideration of Federal Reserve Policy during the 1920–1921 Depression
Criticism of the Federal Reserve Board for not advancing rates earlier in 1919 to halt a rampant inflation is seldom as severe or nearly as devastating as the criticism heaped upon it for not easing credit sooner during the sharp but brief depression episode of 1920–1921. After the collapse of prices in May 1920, the immediate goal of Federal Reserve policy was to prevent a widespread financial crisis by maintaining the liquidity of the banking s…
