Open economies are characterized by the ability to trade goods both intra- and intertemporally, that is, their residents can move goods and assets across borders and over time. These transactions are reflected in the current account, which measures the value of a country's export and imports, and its mirror image, the capital account, which captures the accompanying exchange of assets. This article shows that commonly used specifications of the risk premium do not lead to equilibrium determinacy problems. In all specifications, indeterminacy of the rational expectations equilibrium can be ruled out, although in some cases there can be multiple steady states. The author proceeds by deriving, in the next section, an analytical solution for the canonical small open-economy model which trie...

Title X of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) transferred rulemaking authority for a number of consumer financial protection laws from seven Federal agencies to the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (Bureau) as of July 21, 2011. The Bureau is in the process of republishing the regulations implementing those laws with technical and conforming changes to reflect the transfer of authority and certain other changes made by the Dodd-Frank Act. In light of the transfer of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System's (Board's) rulemaking authority for the Truth in Lending Act (TILA) to the Bureau, the Bureau is publishing for public comment an interim final rule establishing a new Regulation Z (Truth in Lending). This interim final ru...

As the price of oil continues its climb, a potential catastrophe looms on the horizon. While the countless effects of surging oil prices have been discussed at length, one possibility has received far less attention -- the revival of International Monetary Fund (IMF) Article VIII(2)(b) as a defense to financing contracts. If the recent surge in oil price accelerates, countries may be forced to adopt new monetary policies to protect their own faltering currencies. Article VIII(2)(b) completely bars the enforcement of an illegal exchange contract in any IMF member state. This note attempts to show how this diminutive IMF article, if not treated with its deserved respect, has the potential to destroy financing contracts, especially in these times of global economic uncertainty. An IMF amen...

Reflecting the massive dissaving in both the federal-government and household sectors, the United States recorded a current-account deficit of $805 billion last year. The current account is the broadest measure of U.S. international transactions. The $724 billion trade deficit in goods and services comprised 90 percent of last year's current-account deficit. As Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke recently noted in congressional testimony, "The immediate implication is that the U.S. economy is consuming more than it's producing, and the difference is being made up by imports from abroad, which in turn are being financed by borrowing from abroad." To prevent business investment from collapsing, the U.S. economy effectively has been forced to import savings from abroad. The Commerce Depa...
The advance estimate of real gross domestic product growth decelerated to 0.6% at an annual rate in the fourth quarter of 2007, following a strong 4.9% gain in the third quarter. Over the four quarters of 2007, the economy expanded by 2.5%, similar to the 2.6% gain recorded during 2006. Fluctuations in energy and food prices were the key factors behind changes in the overall inflation rate in 2007. In the 12 months through December 2007, the consumer price index increased 4.1%, well above the 2.5% pace of the previous 12 months. Labor market activity slowed during the fourth quarter of 2007 and into early 2008. Job creation continued, but at a slower pace than in the first half of 2007. The unemployment rate has risen since the spring, but remains relatively low. Productivity growth slo...

Economies that rank high on the strength of investor protection index have extensive disclosure requirements and give shareholders broad access to information both before and during trials to determine director liability. New Zealand and Singapore, which top the rankings on the index with 29 and 28 of 30 possible points, both require immediate disclosure of a related-party transaction and of the conflict of interest (table 7.1). They require prior approval of the transaction by the other shareholders. They enable the shareholders to hold the directors liable and to have the transaction voided if it damages the company. And in New Zealand shareholders can inspect all internal documents before deciding whether to sue. Twelve economies strengthened investor protections in 2007/08 (table 7....
