Cha The Coronavirus, Financial Markets, and the Flow of Funds March 16, 2020 was “one of the worst days the financial markets have seen,” according to an article in the Wall Street Journal, due to the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic. As it became clear that the pandemic would cause a significant recession, many investors stopped buying financial assets. Corporations, cities, and school districts all found it difficult to use financial markets to borrow money and so had difficulty paying their bills, including the salaries and wages of their employees. The Federal Reserve took steps to stabilize the financial system and restore the flow of credit to borrowers. A well-functioning financial system is a crucial determinant of economic prosperity. Without an efficient financial system, there will be little borrowing or lending, and so people will be stuck earning low incomes and the country will make very little economic progress.To see the importance of borrowing and lending to an economy, suppose that you come up with an idea for a company: You design a smartphone application (“app”) that will deliver a textbook chapter to a student’s phone for a limited time for a low price. You have a lot of work to do to get your company off the ground— perfecting the software, designing the page in the app store where you will sell it, negotiating with textbook publishers to gain access to their books, and marketing your idea to students. You will have to spend a lot of money before you receive any revenue from sales. Where will you get this money?
