Conference Description.
Financial globalization has many potential benefits: protection against
national shocks, more efficient global allocation of resources, and
improvements in international standards of living. Nevertheless, the
interconnectedness fostered by globalization increases the exposure of
participants to financial and real shocks and to the risk that sudden
capital reversals may translate into large-scale economic disruption. This
one-and-a-half day conference will bring together a small number of
distinguished researchers who will present papers that explore and
evaluate the benefits and vulnerabilities arising from international
capital mobility. Specific topics of interest include recent trends in
international capital flows, their determinants, and their implications;
frictions in, and obstacles to, increased global integration; the timing,
extent, and methods of international adjustment to macroeconomic shocks
and sustained trade imbalances; and the redesign of institutions to better
serve global capital markets.
