Capital Mobility

Posted by Kieran

Daniel’s post on the Cancun trade talks explains that their failure was rooted in disagreement about restrictions on foreign investment and capital controls. This reminds me that it’s time you all re-read Pierre-Olivier Gourinchas and Olivier Jeanne’s paper “The Elusive Benefits from International Financial Integration,” which I blogged about a few months ago.

I..ummm…uhhh…read the abstract. Sounds good to me.

Can I be excused now? Please?

It’s actually a very readable paper, given the kind of stuff they’re doing.

…so basically, the effects of financial integration are quantifiable and positive?
