Three Cures for Three CrisesA full-scale financial crisis is triggered by a sharp fall in the prices of a large set of assets that banks and other financial institutions own, or that make up their borrowers’ financial reserves.
The cure depends on which of three modes define the fall in asset prices.
The first – and “easiest” – mode is when investors refuse to buy at normal prices not because they know that economic fundamentals are suspect, but because they fear that others will panic, forcing everybody to sell at fire-sale prices.
In the second mode, asset prices fall because investors recognize that they should never have been as high as they were, or that future productivity growth is likely to be lower and interest rates higher.

The third mode is like the second: a bursting bubble or bad news about future productivity or interest rates drives the fall in asset prices.
