Current account imbalances and international financial integration
International capital flows expanded strongly before the global financial crisis, and current account imbalances accumulated in key economies.

متن کاملAsymmetric Trade Costs, Trade Imbalances, and the World Income Distribution
Earlier work by Waugh (2010) suggests that asymmetric market access costs across exporting countries are a major reason for differences in real per-capita income around the globe: 25% − 50% (depending on the measure) of world income inequality could be explained by cross-country trade cost asymmetries alone. We show that these results were driven by what we call model under-specification, an il...
