Zusammenfassung

Reale Wirkungen der Deregulierung des Finanzsektors im Jahre 1992. - Der Verfasser analysiert die kurzfristigen und dauerhaften Wirkungen der Deregulierung des Finanzsektors für eine offene Volkswirtschaft, die mit Gütern und Wertpapieren handelt. Es wird hauptsächlich untersucht, welchen Einfluß diese Maßnahmen auf die Sachkapitalbildung, das Gleichgewicht auf den Wertpapiermärkten, die Auslandsverschuldung und den Übergang von der Unterbeschäftigung zur Vollbeschäftigung ausüben. Auf dieser Basis werden die potentiellen Wirkungen der 1992 auf dem Finanzsektor vorgenommenen Liberalisierung für fünf europäische Länder beurteilt. Es zeigt sich, daß von der Deregulierung zu Recht günstige Wirkungen erwartet werden.

Résumé

Les effets réels de la libéralisation financière de 1992. - Dans cette étude l’auteur analyse les effets réels à court terme de la libéralisation financière dans une économie ouverte qui échange des marchandises et des titres. On met l’accent sur la question quel rôle ces mesures jouent pour l’accroissement du capital physique, l’équilibre de portefeuille, l’endettement extérieur de l’économie et pour l’approche à plein emploi. Sur cette base l’auteur évalue les effets potentiels de la libéralisation des services financiers en 1992 pour cinq pays européens et conclut qu’on a de bons raisons d'attendre des effets favorables de la libéralisation financière.

Resumen

Los efectos reales de la desregulación financiera de 1992. - En este trabajo se analizan los efectos reales de la desregulación financiera de corto plazo y de “steady state” en una economia abierta que comercia con bienes y bonos. Se enfatiza el papel que juegan estas medidas en el proceso de acumulación de capital tangible, el equilibrio de cartera, la deuda externa y la transition de una positión con desempleo a una positión sin desempleo. Sobre esta base se estiman los efectos potenciales de la liberalizatión de servicios financieres en cinco países europeos y se concluye que los resultados soportan la hipótesis de que el impacto de la desregulación financiera ha sido positivo.
