Articles by Kees De Koning
Feis Forever ▶ KINO
Een intiem portret van een geroemd Rotterdams talent dat nieuwjaarsnacht 2019 onverwachts om een akkefietje werd neergeschoten op de Nieuwe Binnenweg – een film gedragen door zijn broeders, waaronder Winne. De film is eerlijk, rauw en gemaakt met zichtbaar respect voor de mens achter de muziek. Veel van het verhaal speelt zich af in Rotterdam-West, wat deze ode extra voelbaar maakt.
Did Central Banks apply the right strategies after the financial crisis?
De Koning, Kees (2017): Did Central Banks apply the right strategies after the financial crisis? Nearly ten years have past since the last financial crisis occurred, making it easier to reflect on whether the policies applied by the Federal Reserve, the Bank of England and the ECB had the intended effect on restoring economic and financial stability. While stability has in time been restored, it has not been restored for all.
Why it makes economic sense to help the have-nots in times of a financial crisis
De Koning, Kees (2017): Why it makes economic sense to help the have-nots in times of a financial crisis. August 9, 2007 is often regarded as the starting date of the global financial crisis. BNP Paribas stopped trading in three of its investment funds exposed to the U.S. sub-prime mortgage markets as the liquidity in these markets had all but dried up.

How savings can lower economic growth levels: the U.S. case
De Koning, Kees (2017): How savings can lower economic growth levels: the U.S. case. Why is it that the rich seem to get richer over time and the poor cannot keep up with them?

How the U.S. financial crisis could have been averted
De Koning, Kees (2017): How the U.S. financial crisis could have been averted. In the U.S., the 2007-2008 financial crisis was caused by a lack of understanding of the implications of households committing to use future incomes for a purchase of a home.
G-SIBOs (Global Systemically Important But Overlooked):The Collective of U.S. Households
De Koning, Kees (2016): G-SIBOs (Global Systemically Important But Overlooked):The Collective of U.S. Households. In finance, systemic risk is the risk of collapse of an entire financial system or entire market, as opposed to risk associated with any individual entity, group or component of a system, which can be contained therein without harming the whole system.
The myth of economic growth in the United States
De Koning, Kees (2016): The myth of economic growth in the United States. Many economic philosophies –whether subscribed to by left or right wing politicians or economists- have as their shared aim to promote economic growth rates. Such growth in output is seen as the solution to many problems, including reducing unemployment and increasing household income levels.

De Koning, Kees (2016): A review of the global financial crisis and its effects on U.S. working class households - a tale of vulnerability and neglect. Developed economies rely on their financial sector for their well being, which, as a corollary, can be severely compromised by a poorly functioning financial sector.
