Part Three (only in the first two editions) applies the analytical framework to an open economy and shows how international trade is affected by credit expansion and contraction. The third edition sets out a monetary theory of the business cycle but shows much less support for government intervention, in particular the optimistic outlook of everlasting booms is not voiced anymore. The business cycle is therefore a monetary phenomenon policy interventions could avert the downturn and ensure enduring boom phases. This triggers economic downturn which is accelerated by the contraction of credit.

Real income grows and a decreasing marginal propensity to consume causes demand to stagnate. Real income is shifted from those earning fixed incomes (e.g. Expanding credit causes a change in inter- and intratemporal distribution. Part Two investigates the effect of credit in the economy. In this interpretation the interest rate is a premium for sinking risk (incomplete trust).

Accordingly capital and money markets are markets of trust and banks are the intermediaries of trust in the economy. Credit can only circulate when the debtor is known to be trustworthy. The process of granting credit and creating money is illustrated by different technical processes in banking. not simply extending existing credit lines). Banks create money every time they grant genuinely new credit (i.e. Part One shows that money is credit in circulation. The author also finds low-wealth, declining and distressed firms supply proportionally more trade credit than firms with healthier balance sheets.This book sets out a credit theory of money and the effects of changes in credit activity on distribution and production. The findings also suggest that there are very few unconstrained, high-wealth Canadian firms. The low-wealth firms use trade credit but it is positively linked to bank credit, suggesting those firms are constrained in both bank credit and trade credit markets, and so cannot use trade credit to adjust as much to negative shocks. The author finds that medium-wealth firms substitute trade credit for bank credit consistent with using it to alleviate bank credit rationing. The data support the main predictions of the model quite well. The author uses an endogenous method to divide the firms into the appropriate wealth categories rather than arbitrarily selecting firms likely to be credit-rationed. This paper tests this and other predictions of the Burkart and Ellingsen model using a large sample of more than 28,000 Canadian firms. Burkart and Ellingsen (2004) develop a model of trade credit and bank credit rationing which predicts that trade credit will be used by medium-wealth and low-wealth firms to help ease bank credit rationing.
