The Deepening China Brazil Economic Relationship

Whalley, John - 2015

We document key features of the deepening economic relationship between Brazil and China. This is evident from sharply … international fora. Data presented show bilateral trade between Brazil and China surging after 2001 and China is now Brazil … rates suggest that China will become the dominant trade partner for Brazil surprisingly soon …

The Rapidly Deepening India-China Economic Relationship

Whalley, John - 2010

In this paper we focus on the rapidly deepening bilateral India-China economic relationship. Each is deeply integrating … into the global economy through trade and FDI inflows, China is seen as primarily manufacturing-lead growth with India as … China, and the two have to be considered a joint global presence. India and China are thus viewed in the literature in …

Sovereign Default Risk and Banks in a Monetary Union

Uhlig, Harald - 2013

This paper seeks to understand the interplay between banks, bank regulation, sovereign default risk and central bank guarantees in a monetary union. I assume that banks can use sovereign bonds for repurchase agreements with a common central bank, and that their sovereign partially backs up any...

Trade and Investment in the Global Economy

Anderson, James E. - 2017

We develop a dynamic multi-country trade model with foreign direct investment (FDI) in the form of non-rival technology capital. The model nests structural gravity subsystems for FDI and trade, with accumulation/decumulation of phyisical and technology capital in transition to the steady state....

What Determines BITs?

Bergstrand, Jeffrey H. - 2011

Bilateral investment treaties (BITs) have proliferated over the past 50 years such that the number of pairs of countries with BITs is roughly as large as the number of country-pairs that belong to bilateral or regional preferential trade agreements (PTAs). The purpose of this study is to provide...

Global Warming and Extreme Events : Rethinking the Timing and Intensity of Environmental Policy

Chen, Yu-Fu - 2010

The possibility of low-probability extreme events has reignited the debate over the optimal intensity and timing of climate policy. In this paper we therefore contribute to the literature by assessing the implications of low-probability extreme events on environmental policy in a continuous-time...

Forecasting Nonlinear Aggregates and Aggregates with Time-varying Weights

Lütkepohl, Helmut - 2010

Despite the fact that many aggregates are nonlinear functions and the aggregation weights of many macroeconomic aggregates are time-varying, much of the literature on forecasting aggregates considers the case of linear aggregates with fixed, time-invariant aggregation weights. In this study a...

Matching and Saving in Continuous Time : Theory

Bayer, Christian - 2010

We analyse optimal saving of risk-averse households when labour income stochastically jumps between two states. The generalized Keynes-Ramsey rule includes a precautionary savings term. A phase diagram analysis illustrates consumption and wealth dynamics within and between states. There is an...

Production Technologies in Stochastic Continuous Time Models

Wälde, Klaus - 2009

Properties of dynamic stochastic general equilibrium models can be revealed by either using numerical solutions or qualitative analysis. Very precise and intuition-building results are obtained by working with models which provide closed-form solutions. Closed-form solutions are known for a...

Hidden Skewness : On the Difficulty of Multiplicative Compounding Under Random Shocks

Ensthaler, Ludwig - 2014

Multiplicative growth processes that are subject to random shocks often have a skewed distribution of outcomes. In a number of incentivized laboratory experiments we show that a large majority of participants either strongly underestimate skewness or ignore it completely. Participants...
