  • The Natural Resource Curse: A Survey

    Jeffrey A Frankel, Jeffrey FrankelREPORTNational Bureau of Economic…2010

    It is striking how often countries with oil or other natural resource wealth have failed to grow more rapidly than those without. This is the phenomenon known as the Natural Resource Curse. The principle has been borne out in some econometric tests of the determinants of economic performance across a comprehensive sample of countries. This paper considers six aspects of commodity wealth, each of interest in its own right, but each also a channel …

  • Is Trade Good or Bad for the Environment? Sorting Out the Causality

    Jeffrey A Frankel, Andrew K RoseARTICLEThe Review of Economics and…2005

    We seek to contribute to the debate over globalization and the environment by asking: What is the effect of trade on a country's environment, for a given level of GDP? We take specific account of the endogeneity of trade, using exogenous geographic determinants of trade as instrumental variables. We find that trade tends to reduce three measures of air pollution. Statistical significance is high for concentrations of SO2, moderate for NO2, and la…

  • An Estimate of the Effect of Common Currencies on Trade and Income

    J Frankel, Jeffrey A Frankel et al.ARTICLEThe Quarterly Journal of Economics2002

    To quantify the implications of common currencies for trade and income, we use data for over 200 countries and dependencies. In our two-stage approach, estimates at the first stage suggest that belonging to a currency union/board triples trade with other currency union members. Moreover, there is no evidence of trade diversion. Our estimates at the second stage suggest that every 1 percent increase in a country's overall trade (relative to GDP) r…

  • Does Trade Cause Growth?

    Jeffrey A Frankel, David RomerARTICLEAmerican Economic Review1999

    Examining the correlation between trade and income cannot identify the direction of causation between the two. Countries' geographic characteristics, however, have important effects on trade, and are plausibly uncorrelated with other determinants of income. This paper therefore constructs measures of the geographic component of countries' trade, and uses those measures to obtain instrumental variables estimates of the effect of trade on income. T…

  • The Endogenity of the Optimum Currency Area Criteria

    Open AccessJeffrey A Frankel, Andrew K RoseARTICLEThe Economic Journal1998Cited by: 105

    A country' suitability for entry into a currency union depends on a number of economic conditions. These include, inter alia, the intensity of trade with other potential members of the currency union, and the extent to which domestic business cycles are correlated with those of the other countries. But international trade patterns and international business cycle correlations are endogenous. This paper develops and investigates the relationship b…

  • Regionalism and Rivalry: Japan and the U.S. in Pacific Asia

    Jeffrey A Frankel, Miles KahlerBOOKRegionalism and Rivalry1993

    As Japan's newfound economic power leads to increased political power, there is concern that Japan may be turning East Asia into a regional economic bloc to rival the U.S. and Europe. In Regionalism and Rivalry , leading economists and political scientists address this concern by looking at three central questions: Is Japan forming a trading bloc in Pacific Asia? Does Japan use foreign direct investment in Southeast Asia to achieve national goals…

  • Obstacles to International Macroeconomic Policy Coordination

    Open AccessJeffrey A FrankelARTICLEJournal of Public Policy1988Cited by: 1References: 14

    This paper considers the effects of uncertainty on the magnitude of prospective welfare gains from international macroeconomic policy coordination. Three different sources of uncertainty are studied: the initial state of the economy; the correct welfare weights to be assigned to policy targets; and the impact on the economy that economic models attribute to policy changes. Simulation results show that uncertainty about any of the three reduces th…

  • The 1807–1809 Embargo Against Great Britain

    Open AccessJeffrey A FrankelARTICLEThe Journal of Economic History1982Cited by: 8References: 1

    The lack of success of the 1807–1809 Embargo by the United States has generally been attributed, first, to a lack of effective enforcement, and, second, to an inability to inflict greater economic damage on Great Britain than was suffered by the United States. This paper challenges both explanations. It is argued, first, that the Embargo did effectively reduce both countries to autarky. It is argued, second, that in autarky the relative price in …
