Fallacy Of Composition

Basel III liquidity options

It is generally accepted that the forthcoming introduction of liquidity requirements as part of Basel III poses significant issues for Australian banks. In particular, there is a shortage of government debt available to be held to enable compliance with the Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) requirement. The proposed “Australian solution” to this problem changes the approach to ensuring liquidity crises are avoided in a subtle, but significant, way, and may have broader implications for system-wide cash management arrangements. The Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR) requirement also has the potential to affect the structural development of Australian financial markets, given the current high reliance on overseas wholesale debt markets.

The Basel III LCR and NSFR requirements have been introduced as one response to the Global Financial Crisis experience in which banks, worldwide, experienced liquidity crises. Holdings of marketable private sector securities turned out to be not very marketable, and lines of credit and short term funding dried up. A vicious cycle of asset sales to meet funding shortages led to asset price declines, inducing collateral and margin calls and further funding problems.

That experience demonstrates the third of the problems associated with liquidity. The first problem is that liquidity is hard to define, although most analysts would point to a liquid asset as being one which can be converted into cash (the ultimate liquid asset) quickly and without risk of significant loss of market value. Second, it is even harder to measure. And third, it is likely to disappear just when it is needed most. It is not an inherent, immutable property of a financial asset, but one subject to the fallacy of composition by funding longer-term assets with shorter-term (often at call) liabilities.

Their approach has been to announce the gradual introduction of two minimum requirements, one aimed at short-term crisis situations and the other focused on longer term funding. After an observation period commencing in 2011, the LCR would apply from 1 January 2015 and the NSF from 1 January 2018.

Although not strongly emphasized, the former focuses primarily on system wide liquidity crises (reflected in the use of a stressed scenario involving “a combined idiosyncratic and market-wide shock” and the latter on individual bank difficulties involving “an extended firm-specific stress scenario”.

Fiscal Responsibility: The fallacy of composition, union version

In a perfectly competitive market, the wages offered and the amount of labor hired would be set at the intersection of the supply and demand curves. If the wage were higher, the available workers would outnumber the available jobs, and employers would find that they could lower wages and still get all the labor they need. If the wage were lower, the available jobs would outnumber the available workers, and employers would have to raise wages in order to attract more workers into the market. This feedback effect leads employers to offer the wage where the two lines intersect, where the quantity of labor demanded and the quantity of labor supplied are equal. This creates the deadweight loss. Some workers would like to work at the competitive market wage but cannot, and the businesses that would be happy to hire them at that wage are unable to. The potential benefits from employment that go unrealized are deadweight losses, and these losses are represented by the red triangle. The area of this triangle is what I was trying to find. To arrive at the earlier conclusion, I used data from the federal level to estimate the elasticity of demand (a measure of the shape of the demand curve), but this is not similar to the elasticity of demand in the New Hampshire market by itself. The New Hampshire market in isolation has a higher elasticity of demand (that is, a flatter demand curve, meaning employers are more sensitive to changes in wages), because employers have the option of crossing the border into a different state. To do the same thing on the U.S. level would require leaving the country entirely, which is more difficult. This graph shows that the union wage differential leads some businesses move to different states, so that the demand for New Hampshire union labor is lower. This increases deadweight loss, first because there are more people who would like to work at the market wage, but can't. Second, when businesses leave the state to avoid the higher union wages, the businesses do better, but the costs of moving are pure deadweight losses, as opposed to the higher wages, which redistribute wealth from employer to employee (businesses shift from blue to smaller red losses).
