– The effects of financial crisis on remittance flows. November
2008 NEW BOOK: Innovative Financing for Development For more information, and a pdf version
of the book, read my blog. A panel
discussion on this topic is taking place at Doha Financing for Development Conference
on December 1, 2008. A book launch and panel
discussion on innovative financing took place on October 9,
2008, on the sidelines of the World Bank/IMF Annual Meetings. “Migration, Remittances, and Development: Policy Options,”
Presentation at Lowy Institute, Sydney, July 16, 2008 (powerpoint
and audio) “Global Remittance Trends,” A conference call with
institutional investors, July 11, 2008 (audio) "On Finite
Lifetimes and Growth." This early paper argued that
steady state equilibrium growth may not be feasible in an overlapping
generations model if wages had to be paid in advance. Several influential
papers analyzing macroeconomic policies assume that the “capital argument of
the production function is the saving of the previous period”, but they
ignore this lag in determining the price of capital. This result highlights
the crucial role played by the time-structure of production in determining
growth. Could this result possibly have any implications for the recurrence
of financial crisis? Updated 11/14/2008 |
