Do Pension Bailouts Create Moral Hazard? With Michael Dambra In this episode of 'Questions in Finance,' host Veljko Fotak dives into the complex world of moral hazard and pension bailouts with guest Michael Dambra, the Kenneth Colwell Chair of Accounting and Law at the University at Buffalo. They discuss the concept of moral hazard, its historical context, and its implications in modern economics, particularly focusing on recent pension bailouts under the American Rescue Plan (ARP). The conversation sheds light on how bailout expectations can alter financial behavior and risk-taking in the pension fund sector. Mike and Veljko discuss potential alternatives, but also political implications: why this plan was such an ineffective vote-buying scheme, and why taxpayers are the big losers.

The Presidential Puzzle: Does the US Economy Perform Better under Democrat or Republican Presidents? In this episode of 'Questions in Finance,' university professors Kate Holland and Veljko Fotak dive into an intriguing economic puzzle: why does public opinion favor Republicans as better managers of the economy, while macroeconomic indicators, corporate performance, and stock market returns generally show better outcomes under Democrat presidencies? And what explains some of the gap in performance? The discussion, grounded in academic research, explores various metrics, at the macroeconomic, firm, and market levels and the strength and robustness of findings. Kate and Veljko delve into common explanations, debunk the flawed ones, and emphasize the role of risk-aversion cycles and the timing of the Korean war and crude-oil shocks as having favored Democrat presidencies. The episode concludes with an exploration of party identity and political polarization, touching on the complex factors influencing electoral success and public perceptions.
