This paper analyzes the welfare implications of international spillovers related to productivity gains, changes in market size, or government spending. We introduce trade costs and endogenous varieties in a two-country general-equilibrium model with monopolistic competition, drawing a...

In a standard two country international macro model we ask whether imposing restrictions on international non-contingent borrowing and lending is ever desirable. The answer is yes. If one country imposes capital controls unilaterally, it can generate favorable changes in the dynamics of...

We propose a model consistent with two observations. First, the tax rates adopted by different countries are generally … their growth performance. In our model, the effects of taxation on growth are highly non-linear. Low or moderate tax rates … have a very small impact on long-run growth rates. But as tax rates rise, their negative impact on growth rises …

The traditional current account can be an inaccurate measure of the change in the net foreign asset (NFA) position. Using gross asset and liability positions at the country level, a number of 'valuation effects' have been identified which contribute to changes in NFA but do not enter the...

This paper develops a simple theory of capital controls as dynamic terms-of-trade manipulation. We study an infinite … relative strength of this desire between two consecutive periods. Specifically, it is optimal for the strategic country to tax … capital inflows (or subsidize capital outflows) if it grows faster than the rest of the world and to tax capital outflows (or …

In models with recursive preferences, endogenous variation in Pareto weights would be interpreted as wedges from the perspective of a frictionless model with additive preferences. We describe the behavior of the (relative) Pareto weight in a two-country world and explore its interaction with...
