  • Europe After 1992: Three Essays
    ESSAYS IN INTERNATIONAL FINANCE ESSAYS IN INTERNATIONAL FINANCE are published by the International Finance Section of the Department of Economics of Princeton University. The Section sponsors this series of publications, but the opinions expressed are those of the authors. The Section welcomes the submis- sion of manuscripts for publication in this and its other series. Please see the Notice to Contributors at the back of this Essay. The three papers contained in this Essay were present- ed in August 1990 at the Fifth Annual Congress of the European Economic Association at a panel organized by Tommaso Padoa-Schioppa, Deputy Director General of the Bank of Italy and former Director General for Eco- nomic and Financial Affairs at the Commission of the European Communities. His Introduction precedes the three papers. Michael Emerson, author of the first paper, is Ambassador of the Commission of the European Com- munities in Moscow and former Director for the Evalua- tion of Community Policies at the Commission in Brus- sels. Kumiharu Shigehara, author of the second, is Direc- tor of the Institute for Monetary and Economic Studies at the Bank of Japan, and former Director of the Policy Studies Branch at the Organisation for Economic Co- operation and Development. Richard Portes, whose paper completes the set, is Director of the Centre for Economic Policy Research, Professor of Economics at Birkbeck College in the University of London, and Directeur d’Etudes, Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales (at DELTA), Paris.

  • Reforming the International Monetary System Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR)
    This report presents a set of concrete proposals of increasing ambition for the reform of the international monetary system. The proposals aim at improving the international provision of liquidity in order to limit the effects of individual and systemic crises and decrease their frequency. The recommendations outlined in this Reforming the report include: • Develop alternatives to US Treasuries as the dominant reserve asset, including the issuance of mutually guaranteed European bonds and (in the more distant future) the development of a ISBN 978-1-907142-41-3 International yuan bond market. • Make permanent the temporary swap agreements that were put in place between central banks during the crisis. Establish a star- shaped structure of swap lines centred on the IMF. Monetary System • Strengthen and expand existing IMF liquidity facilities. On the funding side, expand the IMF’s existing financing mechanisms and allow the IMF to borrow directly on the markets. • Establish a foreign exchange reserve pooling mechanism with the IMF, providing participating countries with access to additional liquidity and, incidentally, allowing reserves to be recycled into productive investments. To limit moral hazard, the report proposes to set up specific surveillance indicators to monitor “international funding risks” associated with increased insurance provision. The report discusses the role of the special drawing rights (SDR) and the prospects for turning this unit of account into a true international currency, arguing that it would not solve the fundamental problems of the international monetary system. The report also reviews the conditions under which emerging market economies may use temporary capital controls to counteract excessive and volatile capital flows.

  • Rescuing Our Jobs and Savings: What G7/8 Leaders Can Do to Solve the Global Credit Crisis
    Rescuing our jobs and The unfolding financial market meltdown could trigger a massive and prolonged recession that would destroy hundreds of millions of jobs worldwide and wipe out the savings our countless households; as usual, the most savings: What G7/8 vulnerable would be hit hardest. If economic policymakers continue with their business-as- usual behaviour, they risk becoming the authors of the next leaders can do to solve Great Depression. The time for forceful coordinated action has arrived. Leaders should agree to a plan back it forcefully. Any global plan must have options as the crisis in Iceland is not the same crisis as in the US or Germany, but coordination is essential to restore confidence. Coordination the global credit crisis and dialog is also important to avoid the downward spiral of international cooperation that followed the last great crisis in the 1930s. Edited by Barry Eichengreen This E-book collects essays from some of the world’s leading and Richard Baldwin economists on what governments can do to rescue our jobs and savings. While they differ on many points, a clear consensus emerges on need to act, the need to act cooperatively and on the basic options for action.

  • US Monetary Policy and the Global Financial Cycle
    US Monetary Policy and the Global Financial Cycle Silvia Miranda-Agrippino∗ H´el`eneReyy Bank of England London Business School CEPR and CfM(LSE) CEPR and NBER Revised March 28, 2020 Abstract US monetary policy shocks induce comovements in the international financial variables that characterize the `Global Financial Cycle.' A single global factor that explains an important share of the variation of risky asset prices around the world decreases significantly after a US monetary tightening. Monetary contractions in the US lead to significant deleveraging of global financial intermediaries, a decline in the provision of domestic credit globally, strong retrenchments of international credit flows, and tightening of foreign financial conditions. Countries with floating exchange rate regimes are subject to similar financial spillovers.

  • What's New About the New Economic Geography?
    OXFORD REVIEW OF ECONOMIC POLICY, VOL. 14, NO. 2 WHAT’S NEW ABOUT THE NEW ECONOMIC GEOGRAPHY? PAUL KRUGMAN Massachusetts Institute of Technology Since 1990 a new genre of research, often described as the ‘new economic geography’, has emerged. It differs from traditional work in economic geography mainly in adopting a modelling strategy that exploits the same technical tricks that have played such a large role in the ‘new trade’ and ‘new growth’ theories; these modelling tricks, while they preclude any claims of generality, do allow the construction of models that—unlike most traditional spatial analysis—are fully general-equilibrium and clearly derive aggregate behaviour from individual maximization. The new work is highly suggestive, particularly in indicating how historical accident can shape economic geography, and how gradual changes in underlying parameters can produce discontinuous change in spatial structure. It also serves the important purpose of placing geographical analysis squarely in the economic mainstream. I. INTRODUCTION None the less, the simple model developed in Krugman (1991) is widely regarded as having given The study of spatial economics—of the location of birth to something called the ‘new economic geog- production—has a long if somewhat thin history. raphy’, and has certainly stimulated the emergence Von Thünen’s (1826) analysis of land rent and use of a new wave of theorizing and (to a lesser extent) around an isolated city was roughly contemporane- empirical work. This approach inevitably has much ous with Ricardo’s statement of comparative ad- in common with older approaches. Nevertheless, it vantage; the location analysis of Weber (1909), the also has a number of distinctive features that do central-place theory of Christaller (1933) and Lösch qualify as a new departure.
