Integrative literature review of the financial fragility hypothesis proposed by Minsky
Abstract
This article conducts an Integrative Literature Review on the Financial Fragility Hypothesis presented by Minsky and on Financial Fragility Applied to the Public Sector. Twenty papers were chosen that addressed the proposed theme in both quantitative and qualitative procedures. The topics discussed ways of measuring financial fragility, effects on fiscal policy and the need for regulation, relationships between investment, expectations of cash flows, the influence of interest rates and indebtedness on firms and financial instability. The integration reinforced the conceptual aspects and the propositions presented by Minsky, expanding in an integrated way the understanding of his theoretical assumptions regarding financial fragility, addressing the causes, observations and economic and institutional consequences, in addition to signaling the insufficiencies of more empirical and for the public sector.
