Wait, you think the Toronto-Buffalo distinction is caused by Toronto being closer to the front of the queue to get monetary stimulus? I’d think this is much more likely to be a real phenomenon.

Not at all intuitive to me, can you share more of your assessment?

Central bank is central hub of a trust network of credit. Toronto financial offices are much closer to that hub than Buffalo mundane industries, which are much closer to the rim.

Ultimately I think it’s much more likely we see *industry* level effects than we would see *geographical* effects of the kind of magnitude you’re describing.

For these two cities industry is strongly correlated with geography.

Also, trust in the financial industry is based heavily on face-to-face contact.

So interestingly enough, unlike before the crisis, finance is no longer the hot, booming place to be. Banks got a lot more boring. Hedge funds are shrinking. Equity research is on its last breath. You’d expect a lot more exuberance if they benefitted so much from the Fed.
