Example text
Entrepreneurial innovation, they argue, is a key ingredient of economic expansion. Joseph Schumpeter, a leading Austrian school economist of the early twentieth century, qualified this view by pointing out that too many entrepreneurs seeking to exploit an innovation causes profit margins to shrink, bankruptcies to multiply, credit to dry up, and a recession to result. Moreover, while entrepreneurial innovation affects economic growth and contraction over the long term, monetary policy—specifically, the setting of interest rates by central banks—has a more immediate effect.
The systems are especially popular among institutional investors and fund managers, and can accommodate a wide range of risk and yield preference. There is no one trading system, nor one trading system style; different systems can be designed with different goals, making comparisons difficult. The use of trading systems has greatly accelerated since the computerization of financial markets in the 1970s and 1980s. S. stock market—moving from sixteenths of a dollar to hundredths of a dollar (pennies) as the basic unit of stock value—encouraged algorithmic trading by creating smaller differences between bids and offers, as well as more price differentials to be exploited by arbitrage.
In addition to these events, a boom in stock and property prices that occurred in the late 1980s is noteworthy. While this coincided with a short period of strong economic growth between recessions in 1981–1882 and 1991– 1992, this boom is frequently attributed to financial deregulation in the first half of the 1980s. Removal of restrictions on interest rates led to a rapid expansion of lending that fueled a pattern of increased asset prices, expectations of further price rises, increased asset demand financed by credit expansion, and further asset price increases.
