Edition, important economic developments are highlighted, with many

In 2008, the global economy experienced the most severe crash since
World War II. A sharp collapse in international trade followed,
leaving no country on the globe immune to a sequence of economic
shocks. This timely book explores many of the key issues raised in
the wake of the global economic crisis and provides an in-depth
analysis of crisis transmission to emerging markets. The expert
contributors compare the recent crisis with earlier crises, explore
international aspects of the crisis from the perspectives of
financial markets and trade, and examine macroeconomic policy
responses. In so doing, they address important questions including:
How did this crisis differ from those suffered previously? How and
why did flaws in financial markets contribute to the crisis? How
important were global imbalances and global overheating in
explaining the global meltdown? Did different pre-crisis
fundamentals generate different post-crisis performances? And, how
severe were the economic shocks to countries such as Korea and
other emerging economies? Academics, students and policymakers in
the fields of economics, international economics, finance, money
and banking and Asian studies will find this book to be a
thought-provoking and stimulating read. Contributors: J. Aizenman,

Leading economists propose solutions to the problems of
globalization Globalization has expanded economic opportunities
throughout the world, but it has also left many people feeling
dispossessed, disenfranchised, and angry. Luis Catao and Maurice
Obstfeld bring together some of today's top economists to assess
the benefits, costs, and daunting policy challenges of
globalization. This timely and accessible book combines incisive
analyses of the anatomy of globalization with innovative and
practical policy ideas that can help to make it work better for
everyone. Meeting Globalization's Challenges draws on new research
to examine the channels through which international trade and the
diffusion of technology have enhanced the wealth of nations while
also producing unequal benefits within and across countries. The
book provides needed perspectives on the complex interplay of
trade, deindustrialization, inequality, and the troubling surge of
nationalism and populism-perspectives that are essential for
crafting sound economic policies. It tackles the vexing issue of
how to most effectively compensate globalization's losers and
reintegrate them into job markets. The book also explores how to
design social insurance policies that can mitigate the risks posed
by automation and offshoring, such as mass unemployment and its
inherent dangers to democracy. With a foreword by International
Monetary Fund Managing Director Christine Lagarde and a
history-rich synthesis by Catao and Obstfeld of main policy
takeaways, Meeting Globalization's Challenges features

Angus Deaton, Rafael Dix-Carneiro, Jeffry Frieden, Gordon H.

Reducing carbon emissions is the most complex political and
economic problem humanity has ever confronted. Coping with the
Climate Crisis brings together leading experts from academia and
policy circles to explore issues related to the implementation of
the COP21 Paris Agreement and the challenges of accelerating the
transition toward sustainable development. The book synthesizes the
key insights that emerge from the latest research in climate-change
economics in an accessible and useful guide for policy makers and
researchers. Contributors consider a wide range of issues,
including the economic implications and realities of shifting away
from fossil fuels, the role of financial markets in incentivizing
development and construction of sustainable infrastructure, the
challenges of evaluating the well-being of future generations, the
risk associated with uncertainty surrounding the pace of climate
change, and how to make climate agreements enforceable. They
demonstrate the need for a carbon tax, considering the issues of
efficiently pricing carbon as well as the role of supply-side
policies on fossil fuels. Through a range of perspectives from
academic economists and practitioners in the public and private
sectors who work either at the country level or under the auspices
of multilateral organizations, Coping with the Climate Crisis
outlines what it will take to achieve a viable, global
climate-stabilization path.
Foundations of International Macroeconomics is an innovative
text that offers the first integrative modern treatment of the core
issues in open economy macroeconomics and finance. With its clear
and accessible style, it is suitable for first-year graduate
macroeconomics courses as well as graduate courses in international
macroeconomics and finance. Each chapter incorporates an extensive
and eclectic array of empirical evidence. For the beginning
student, these examples provide motivation and aid in understanding
the practical value of the economic models developed. For advanced
researchers, they highlight key insights and conundrums in the
field.Topic coverage includes intertemporal consumption and
investment theory, government spending and budget deficits, finance
theory and asset pricing, the implications of (and problems
inherent in) international capital market integration, growth,
inflation and seignorage, policy credibility, real and nominal
exchange rate determination, and many interesting special topics
such as speculative attacks, target exchange rate zones, and
parallels between immigration and capital mobility.Most main
results are derived both for the small country and world economy
cases. The first seven chapters cover models of the real economy,
while the final three chapters incorporate the economy's monetary
side, including an innovative approach to bridging the usual chasm
between real and monetary models.
How should a country implement inflation-forecast targeting for
monetary policy? This book explores the basic principles and
practices. A central theme is that managing expectations is
essential for achieving the inflation target and for effectively
managing short-term policy trade-offs. The book outlines efficient
operational procedures, central bank communications, financial
stability issues, and the importance of incorporating financial
conditions in inflation-forcast targeting. It also reviews the
experiences of Canada, the Czech Republic, India and the United
States. The analysis argues for assertive policies and maximum
transparency, especially when long-term expectations tilt towards
high inflation or deflation.
This book presents an economic survey of international capital
mobility from the late nineteenth century to the present. The
authors examine the theory and empirical evidence surrounding the
fall and rise of integration in the world market. A discussion of
institutional developments focuses on capital controls and the
pursuit of macroeconomic policy objectives in shifting monetary
regimes. The Great Depression emerges as the key turning point in
recent history of international capital markets, and offers
important insights for contemporary policy debates. Its principal
legacy is that the return to a world of global capital is marked by
great unevenness in outcomes regarding both risks and rewards of
capital market integration. More than in the past, foreign
investment flows largely from rich countries to other rich
countries. Yet most financial crises afflict developing countries,
with costs for everyone.
Presenting an economic history of international capital mobility in the modern era, this book blends narrative and quantitative methods and connects economic outcomes to the underlying political economy of international macroeconomics. It demonstrates that recent globalization can be seen, in part, as the resumption of a liberal world order that had previously been established in the years 1880-1914, although much is different in its causes and consequences.
