Assaf Volume I: The first 70 years
A BIOGRAPHY in COMICS
(link) ------------------------------- Assaf Razin's life stroy is one of extremes. It follows Assaf rom the Kibutz to the city, from Israel to different parts of the world, from his childhood in the nursery bed of socialism, to the Economics Department in Chicago University, the cradle of intellectual capitilism. Our hero persues a stelar carreer and personal acheivements while withstanding rather dramatic personal events.
Menashe Kadishman
Book News
Linda B. Glaser from Cornell University writes:
For economist Assaf Razin, 2015 has proven a defining moment in his career, with the release of two new books representing more than a decade of work. Razin calls it a “consolidation moment,” though both books having a December 2015 release date is entirely coincidental.
Understanding Global Crises: An Emerging Paradigm (MIT Press) is based on Razin's graduate lectures that synthesize the differing views of economists. The first chapters give a comprehensive historical account of major financial crises in the last 30 years around the globe, identifying the essential elements to be understood: the currency crisis, the stock market, the banking crisis, the macroeconomic mismanagement that leads to crisis, and the birth and bursting of bubbles.
The subsequent chapters are targeted to graduate students and professionals who can penetrate the analytics Razin applies to these elements of financial crises. In the epilogue he addresses the “emerging paradigm” of the title. “I offer no definite conclusions,” says Razin. “We don't have an overarching framework in economics to understand a crisis of this global proportion.” But, he adds, the very heated exchange over austerity vs. stimulus policies has produced new ideas and new literature.
The second book, co-authored with Efraim Sadka of Tel Aviv University, is based on research the two have been collaborating on for the last 15 years. “Migration State and Welfare State: Why Is America Different from Europe?” (Palgrave-MacMillan Pivot) examines two key policy differences between Europe and the U.S. While both are welfare states without free migration from the rest of the world, the European Union has more generous welfare state provisions, higher taxes and more liberal immigration policies than the U.S. (video)
“There's no free migration because they are welfare states and thus are magnets to immigrants who could burden and undermine the welfare state,” explains Razin. But while both Europe and the U.S. employ restrictions on migrants, 60-70 percent of world migrants who are skilled come to the U.S. In contrast, Europe attracts a majority of unskilled labor.
The key difference, the researchers found, lies in the organization of the U.S. as a federal system of states, with federalized taxation and welfare and migration policies. The EU, in contrast, is a collection of 28 independent states with little coordination of fiscal and migrant policy. The EU's financial fragmentation results in competition between states, which leads to greater welfare-state generosity and less screening migration policy.

1. Understanding Global Financial Crises: An
Emerging Paradigm,
by Assaf Razin
MIT PRESS,
December 2014 (link)
The Book's Narrative (link)
Financial crises have some common storylines, among them bursting asset bubbles, bank failures, sharp tightening of credit, and downturn in trade. They are also different from one another. Some start with sudden reversal of international capital flows, others with domestic credit implosions. A challenge to economic research is to integrate common as well as disparate threads into a coherent analytical framework that is at the same time empirically testable. In Understanding Global Crises: an emerging paradigm, I offer a review of an emerging macroeconomic paradigm incorporating failure-prone financial intermediaries, that is consistent with the key features of recent global financial crises. To be self ccontained, the book also presents in a transparent way basic analytical elements of the theories of financial and monetary and currency crises. Contents:
1 Introduction
Part I Recent History of Financial Crises
2 The 1990s and the Early 2000s
3 The 2008 Global Crisis
4 The Crisis in the Euro -Zone
Part II Elements of the Theory of Financial Crises
5 Analytics of Financial Fragility of Banks
6 Analytics of Credit Frictions and Capital Market Freezes
7 Analytics of Asset Bubbles and Crises
Part III Exchange Rates and Capital Flows
8 Analytics of Currency Crises
9 Foreign Investment and Debt: Information Asymmetry
10 Foreign Investment in the Presence of Liquidity Shocks
Part IV An Emerging Macroeconomic Paradigm: Financial
Intermediaries, and Credit Frictions
11 Inflation-Output Trade-off with Frictionl-Less CreditThe Benchmark
Paradigm
12 Leveraging, De-lLeveraging and the Liquidity Trap
13 Amplification and Persistency of Shocks in Dynamic Macroeconomic
Models
14. Epilogue
Endorsements:
Assaf Razin provides here the definitive introduction and overview of the historical and analytical literatures on financial crises. Students new to the subject and specialists alike will appreciate the crystal clear exposition. Razin's book is the obvious starting point for all those concerned to understand risks to financial stability. And, given recent events, 'all those concerned' is likely to connote a very large number. (Barry Eichengreen, George C. Pardee and Helen N. Pardee Professor of Economics and Political Science, University of California, Berkeley).
The global financial crisis shook the foundations of macroeconomic theory: what had we missed? In this book, Professor Razin opens an illuminating door on the post-crisis world and painstakingly builds the foundations of a post-crisis paradigm. A must-read for anybody who wants to go beyond the stylized facts and begin to understand the why and how of global financial crises. Carlos A. Vegh, Fred H. Sanderson Professor of International Economics, Johns Hopkins University).
Assaf Razin has performed a real tour de force: blending historical study with rigorous theoretical analysis; presenting a vast and penetrating overview of the literature on financial crises; developing a new macroeconomic paradigm in which financial intermediaries play a major role, and in which asset and debt accumulation matters. All in one book. Thanks to Assaf Razin's book, doing macroeconomics is interesting again. (Paul De Grauwe, John Paulson Chair in European Political Economy, London School of Economics and Political Science).
Understanding Global Crises is an impressive book. The thoughtful and accessible analysis of the financial crises in the last 25 years in the first chapters will be extremely useful for the layperson interested in crises. The elegant modeling of the financial frictions predating these crises in the last chapters will also attract the expert. A must-read! (Graciela L. Kaminsky, Professor of Economics and International Affairs, George Washington University).

2. Migration States and Welfare States: Why is
America Different from Europe?
by
Assaf Razin and, Efraim Sadka Palgrave-MacMillan Pivot, November 20, 2014 (link)
  Ori Reisman
The Razin-Sadka pivot monograph is a treatise on migration states and welfare states. Following a succint survey of historicalm trends and analyzing gains and losses from migration in the context of an economy which redistribute income from the rich to the poor, the monograph develops a political-economy analitical model to help explain two key policy differences
between two otherwise similar economic unions, the U.S. and the EU:
(i) The higher generosity of the welfare migration system in the EU, relative
to the U.S.,
(ii) The skill and the wealth bias of the migration to
the U.S. relative to the migration to EU, with the former receiving
a higher portion of the high-skill and rich migrants.
We argue that the looser federal nature of the economic union in the EU, relative
to the U.S. (that is, the EU member states compete one against the other, whereas the US member states are constitutionally under a Federal regime which coordinates their policies); and the relatively more aged population contribute a great
deal to our understanding of the welfare-state and migration policy differences (video).
3. Migration
and the Welfare State
Political-Economy Policy Formation
Assaf Razin
Efraim Sadka and
Benjarung Suwankiri
Cloth / October 2011, MIT Press
A unified theoretical formal framework for studying how
social benefits-immigration conflicts are resolved in an over-lapping generation setup, and a range of policy
regimes. Topics include: The differences between free and policy-controlled
migration, the effect of migration on the generosity of the welfare state, the effect of ageing of the population, fiscal competition and
competition over the skill mix of immigrants,and the dynamics of the political-economy policy formation concerning the interactions between the welfare state and migration.
