Prodded by Inside Job, the Oscar-winning documentary that exposed ties between financial firms and academia, Columbia University is tightening disclosure rules for faculty who advise Wall Street and other industries. Members of the Faculty of Arts & Sciences will have to post their outside professional activities online and inform deans about their time commitments outside the university, says Michael H. Riordan, chairman of the economics department. The new rules may go into effect as early as October. The university’s law and business schools adopted similar guidelines in April and May.

Columbia first adopted university-wide ethics policies in 2009 that required all university faculty to disclose in publications if they have financial ties to firms or individuals that relate to their research. Professors say the 2010 film, which examines the U.S. financial crisis, led them to look at how the rules could be sharpened. “Inside Job has brought the subject to the fore,” Riordan says. “I don’t think it uncovered a serious problem in the profession, but to the extent it has prompted a debate and caused people to think more carefully, that’s all for the good.”

The film asserts that Columbia finance professor Frederic Mishkin wrote a positive paper about Iceland’s economy in 2006 after receiving $124,000 from that country’s chamber of commerce. Mishkin didn’t disclose the payment in the paper, according to the film. In 2008, Iceland’s banking industry collapsed, defaulting on $85 billion.

The U.S. and Europe face about a 40 percent likelihood of a prolonged period of economic stagnation should policy makers fail to restore confidence, according to analysts at Goldman Sachs Group Inc.

“The prospect of a long period of stagnant growth is a plausible risk and a legitimate concern for the major developed economies,” Jose Ursua, a Goldman economist in New York, wrote in a report. “Whether these countries manage to avoid a ‘Great Stagnation’ by a pick-up in the recovery is likely to depend on policy being able to restore confidence and putting in place reforms that can decisively jolt growth.”

The U.S. and Europe are already exhibiting signs that would be typical of stagnations, characterized by “high and sticky” unemployment, an average 0.5 percent growth rate in per capita gross domestic product and stock markets that underperform historical averages, Ursua wrote after analyzing 93 episodes of the condition in the past 150 years. Economies face a higher probability of such periods after market crashes “precisely of the type observed during 2008-2009,” the report said.

Constraints on monetary policy today are “tighter” than in 2008 for developed economies to avoid lengthy periods of stalled growth, according to the report, dated Sept. 28. Central bankers may begin to consider “truly unconventional ‘unconventional’” policies as a result, Ursua wrote.

‘Bad News’

“The bad news is that it is still far from clear whether enough has been done to jolt economic growth upwards and outside the zone where prolonged stagnation is a serious risk,” he said. “The good news is that policy makers are more aware” of the damage wrought by stagnation.

The U.S. Federal Reserve is replacing $400 billion of short-term government debt with bonds of longer maturity in a bid to lower borrowing costs and bolster the economic recovery. Most Bank of England policy makers said this month it’s “increasingly probable” more asset purchases will be needed to support growth, while European Central Bank officials are likely to debate restarting their covered-bond purchases and further measures to ease monetary conditions.

The U.S. economy will expand 1.8 percent in the third quarter according to a Bloomberg survey of economists conducted Sept. 2 to Sept. 7, down from a 2.1 percent estimate in an August survey.

China may be the spectacular growth story of our time, yet for all its might the country has an insular and undeveloped domestic equity market. Beijing invests trillions of state funds in international stocks, bonds, currencies, and hard assets. And Hong Kong, with its long ties to London, is a bona fide financial center. Yet mainland Chinese who want to be in equities are restricted to investing in domestic, yuan-denominated A shares on the Shenzhen and Shanghai stock exchanges, home to indexes that are prone to speculative mania.

“Mainlanders have only domestic-listed stocks, bank deposits, or real estate to pack their money in,” says Jun Zhu, an analyst who follows China for Minneapolis-based Leuthold Weeden Capital Management. “And cash is plenty. So you get inflated equity valuations, elevated housing prices—prices of everything, pretty much.” In 2007, when local markets were up sixfold in less than two years, the Chinese press was full of stories about retirees handing over their life savings to brokerage houses and students skipping meals to raise cash for hot initial public offerings. Shares whose prices closed on the lucky number eight were all the rage.

Now, mainlanders will finally get the chance to invest their restive yuan abroad. In August, Vice-Premier Li Keqiang announced that exchange-traded funds based on Hong Kong equities would be available on China’s mainland exchanges in Shenzhen and Shanghai. The decision is a significant step forward in Beijing’s long-term drive to build up Chinese equity markets, to encourage wider use of the yuan, and to bolster the country’s credentials as a global investing hub. “The new investment products should increase cross-border portfolio fund flows over time,” says Jing Ulrich, Hong Kong-based chairman of global markets for China at JPMorgan Chase (JPM). She says Beijing is getting ambitious about the internationalization of the yuan and expanding capital flows between the mainland and Hong Kong.

The most immediate beneficiary of the move will be Hong Kong’s bourse. Leuthold’s Zhu calculates that over the past 10 years the share prices of Chinese companies listed in Hong Kong and the U.S. have traded on average at a 56 percent discount (based on price-to-earnings multiples) compared with their A-share counterparts on the two mainland exchanges. That mainland investors are willing to pay a premium is a telltale sign of pent-up demand among domestic Chinese investors for international stocks listed in Hong Kong, she says. “Hong Kong is just a testing ground and a very important one,” says Zhu. “Once the door is cracked opened between the mainland and Hong Kong, mainland investors will gain access to the whole world—including London and the U.S.—eventually.”

The dilemma Beijing faces is how to balance the desire of mainlanders for more investment options with the country’s practice of micromanaging its currency vis-à-vis the dollar and other foreign currencies to promote exports. The yuan has strengthened 3.4 percent against the dollar this year, the best performance among 25 emerging-market currencies, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

It’s what every panicked investor will tell his or her broker during a diving market: Put it in cash. The brokers are happy to oblige. But some people are finding that their money winds up in the equivalent of brokerage-world limbo, a place that makes even today’s paltry bank rates seem high.
ndeed, so-called sweep accounts — also known as core or cash-management accounts at some brokerages — are earning, on average, about 0.04 percent. That’s $40 of interest a year for every $100,000. Brokers argue that sweep accounts were never meant to be the 21st-century equivalent of the passbook account. “It’s not meant for savings,” says Steve Austin, a spokesperson for Fidelity Investments. But in many instances, that’s exactly what they have become. Although no one knows exactly how much money is sitting in sweep accounts, experts estimate the figure could easily be upwards of $600 billion.

Even in this low-interest-rate era — when the Federal Reserve has pledged to maintain short-term rates near zero for at least two years — experts say there are better options for cash. Some people might be eligible to earn as much as 10 times the default rate simply by switching to another type of cash account with the same broker. For example, E-Trade pays 0.05 percent on its default sweep account, or $50 a year for every $100,000. Yet customers holding that much cash could earn $500 on the same amount if they switched to the company’s SweepMax account.
Customers shouldn’t hold their breath waiting for brokers to tell them about higher-earning options, either. “Investors trust that their financial adviser is making recommendations that are in their best interest,” says Barbara Roper, the director of investor protection at the Consumer Federation of America. “Sweep accounts illustrate that this is not always the case.” An E-Trade spokesperson says it doesn’t automatically enroll clients in its higher-yielding sweep account but that the option is listed on the firm’s marketing materials and clients can ask for it.

Since interest rates are so low, brokers don’t make as much on these types of accounts as they did years ago. Analysts estimate that some large firms made billions off the difference between how much the broker pays a client in interest and how much it makes investing the cash somewhere else. But sweep accounts still make loads of money for the brokerage industry, says Peter Crane, president of market research firm Crane Data. While most brokerages offer alternatives to sweeps on their websites, some of the options, such as short-term bond funds, force a customer to trade security for slightly higher yields. (By contrast, many, though not all, sweep accounts are federally insured.) “We’ve been effectively at zero for two years,” Crane says. “Of course,” he adds, “zero beats negative 15 percent.”
