We examine two popular explanations of the Depression: (1) The “high wage” story, according to which deflation, combined with imperfectly flexible wages, raised real wages and reduced employment and output. (2) The “bank failure” story, according to which deflationary money shocks contributed to bank failures and to a reduction in the efficiency of financial intermediation, which in turn reduced lending and output. We evaluate these stories using general equilibrium business cycle models, and find that wage shocks and banking shocks account for a small fraction of the Great Depression. We also find that some other predictions of the theories are at variance with the data."^^; "2000-06"; "2019-08-19T17:44:45.46797334+00:00"^^; "https://doi.org/10.21034/sr.270"; ; "https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/"; "Thu Nov 7 21:58:57 2019"; "https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/"; "Research Paper"; "572", "145"; "Staff report (Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis.
