W artykule potraktowano sektor finansowy jako istotny czynnik napędowy fluktuacji koniunkturalnych. Powszechnie przyjęte wyjaśnienie procykliczności systemu finansowego wyrasta z asymetrii informacji między pożyczkobiorcami i pożyczkodawcami. Minsky zaproponował teorię wiążącą kruchość rynku finansowego w toku normalnego funkcjonowania gospodarki z narastaniem baniek spekulacyjnych endogenicznych w stosunku do rynków finansowych. Jednym z wyjaśnień cykli ekonomicznych i finansowych jest także akcelerator finansowy. Stwarza on teoretyczne ramy, w których bilans pożyczkobiorców i wartość oferowanego przez nich zastawu są źródłami fluktuacji w sferze realnej. Dodatkowym materialnym źródłem procykliczności sektora finansowego jest nieadekwatna reakcja uczestników rynku finansowego na zmiany ryzyka w czasie. Zachowanie instytucji finansowych w cyklu koniunkturalnym zależy od postrzegania przez nie ryzyka. W ożywieniu nadmierny optymizm banków odnośnie do perspektyw dłużników, w połączeniu z poprawą bilansów banków w warunkach zaostrzającej się konkurencji, prowadzą do liberalnej polityki kredytowej, powodującej obniżenie standardów kredytowych.

In the article the financial system is viewed as an important driver of business cycle fluctuations. A common explanation for the procyclicality of the financial system has its roots in information asymmetries between borrowers and lenders. Minsky proposed theories linking financial market fragility, in the normal life-cycle of an economy, with speculative investment bubbles endogenous to financial markets. One of the explanation of economic and financial cycles is often known as the ‘financial accelerator’. It creates theoretical framework in which the state of borrowers’ balance sheets and collateral value was a source of real output fluctuations. An additional material source of financial procyclicality is inappropriate responses by financial market participants to changes in risk over time. The behaviour of lending institutions during business cycles depends on their perceptions of risk. During upturns banks’ overoptimism about borrowers’ future prospects, coupled with strong balance sheets and increasing competition, brings about more liberal credit policies with lower credit standards.
