This bachelor thesis aims to analyze the relationship between monetary policy and the development of economic crises, specifically focusing on the Subprime Crisis in the USA. It utilizes the Austrian theory of the business cycle, particularly the capital-based macroeconomics model, to explain how artificially low interest rates can lead to misallocation of resources and economic fluctuations. The thesis applies this theory to the Subprime Crisis, examining the role of the Federal Reserve System in its development. It concludes that expansionary monetary policy and flawed government regulations contributed to the crisis by causing imbalances in the American structure of production.
The introduction provides an overview of the topic and its relevance, highlighting the controversy surrounding the role of central banks and monetary policy in modern economies. It sets the stage for the subsequent analysis of the Austrian theory of the business cycle and its application to the Subprime Crisis.
The first chapter delves into the Austrian theory of the business cycle, presenting the capital-based macroeconomics model as its illustration. It explains how artificially low interest rates, driven by monetary expansion, can distort the intertemporal capital structure, leading to misallocation of resources and economic fluctuations. The chapter explores the concept of stages of production, the impact of time preference on capital restructuring, and the dynamics of the business cycle, including the boom and bust phases.
The second chapter applies the Austrian theory of the business cycle to the Subprime Crisis, examining the role of the Federal Reserve System in its development. It analyzes the monetary policy and regulatory environment before and during the crisis, highlighting the impact of expansionary monetary policy and flawed government regulations on the housing market and the overall economy. The chapter evaluates the Subprime Crisis through the lens of the Austrian theory, emphasizing the role of misallocation of resources and unsustainable economic growth.
