Working Paper
Checking accounts and bank monitoring
Renault, Micheline; Nakamura, Leonard I.; Mester, Loretta J. (1998)
Do checking accounts help banks monitor borrowers? If they do, the rationale both for allowing regulated providers of liquidity to also make risky loans to commercial borrowers and for the government's providing deposit insurance becomes clearer. Using a unique set of data that includes monthly and annual information on small-business borrowers at an anonymous Canadian bank, the authors provide evidence that a bank has exclusive access to a continuous stream of borrower data, namely, the firm's checking account balances at the bank, that helps it to monitor the borrower. ; To the authors' ...

Working Paper
Banking and finance in Argentina in the period 1900-35
Nakamura, Leonard I.; Zarazaga, Carlos E. (2001)
From 1900 to 1935, Argentina evolved from an economy highly dependent on external, primarily British, finance to one more nearly self-sufficient. We examine the failure of domestic finance to adequately fill the void left by the decline of London and the breakdown of the world financial system in the interwar period, when neither the Buenos Aires Bolsa nor the private domestic banks developed rapidly enough to fully replace British investors as efficient channels for financing private investment.

The mismeasured personal saving rate is still useful: using real-time data to improve forecasting
Nakamura, Leonard I. (2008-10)
People make decisions based on information. Often, with hindsight, they could have made better choices. Economics faces a similar problem: Economic data, when first released, are often inaccurate and may subsequently be revised. In "The Mismeasured Personal Saving Rate Is Still Useful: Using Real-Time Data to Improve Forecasting," Leonard Nakamura uses the U.S. personal saving rate - a statistic that has often been initially low, then substantially revised upward - to discuss how modern economic statistical techniques can improve forecasting.

Measuring housing services inflation
Nakamura, Leonard I.; Voith, Richard; Crone, Theodore M. (1998-11-01)
Recent papers have questioned the accuracy of the Bureau of Labor Statistics? methodology for measuring implicit rents for owner-occupied housing. We propose cross-checking the BLS statistics by using data on owner-occupied and rental housing from the American Housing Survey.
