This paper proposes network entropy as a tool for measuring diversity of highly connected financial networks. The computation of network entropy hinges on eigenvector centrality and Shannon entropy. Two policy-related findings emerge from this research. First, regarding time variation of network...

Recent data show substantial increases in the size of gross external asset and liability positions. The implications of these developments for optimal conduct of monetary policy are analyzed in a standard open economy model which is augmented to allow for endogenous portfolio choice. The model...

). We construct a globalization measure that equals the share of explained variation in direct investment attributable to … global factors. We show that our globalization measure has increased steadily for developing and developed countries. For the … full sample of countries, the globalization measure rose by over ten-fold from 1985 to 1999. Furthermore, in recent years …

We quantify the impact of barriers to international investment, using a novel multi-country dynamic general equilibrium model with heterogeneous investors and imperfect capital mobility. Our model yields a gravity equation for bilateral foreign asset positions. We estimate this gravity equation...
