Monetary policy regimes
An eight‐region, stochastic, general equilibrium model that incorporates global money and financial markets is used, first, to identify the distributions of regional supply side shocks in 1954–2016 from real GDP data. Second, in Monte Carlo simulations, the model is subjected to random draws from these distributions in all regions simultaneously, under a range of combinations of monetary targets. These experiments begin with a comparison of the v…
Automation and inequality with taxes and transfers
Declines in low‐skill labour shares are reviewed, and a stylised model is constructed to examine their determinants and future implications. A retrospective analysis of US shocks suggests that technological change has contributed more to raising income inequality and the wealth to GDP ratio than other changes. An anticipated future twist away from low‐skill labour toward the capital, combined with population growth, risks high unemployment rates.…
US–China rivalry
Stylised representations of recent US and Chinese tax reforms, tariffs against imports and alternative Chinese monetary targeting are examined using a calibrated global macro model that embodies both trade and financial interdependencies. For both countries, unilateral capital tax relief and bilateral tariffs are shown to be ‘beggar thy neighbor’ policies. As large economies, both enjoy ‘optimal tariffs’, even bilaterally, though net outcomes are…
Slower Growth and Vulnerability to Recession
China's comparatively rapid consumption growth since 2010 and its increasing economic similarity with advanced economies, imply that consumer and business confidence are now central to performance, changing its global impacts and rendering recession more likely. The international effects of its new growth pattern are quantified using a global macro model with national portfolio rebalancing. The transition to consumption‐led growth is shown to fos…
Gender ‘Rebalancing’ in China
The rise in China's sex ratio at birth during the last two decades has had a wide range of economic and social consequences, including excessive savings as families with boys compete to match their sons with girls who are scarce and rising rates of crime among the unmarried male population. These consequences are analysed using a global dynamic model that projects demographic behaviour and economic performance through to 2030. The results show th…
China's economic growth and its real exchange rate
The shocks that underlie China's comparatively rapid growth include gains in productivity, factor accumulation and policy reforms that increase allocative efficiency. The well-known Balassa–Samuelson hypothesis links productivity growth in tradable industries with real appreciations. Yet it relies heavily on the law of one price applying for tradable goods, against which there is now considerable evidence. In its absence, other growth shocks also…

Japanese rice policy in the interwar period
Imperfect competition and returns to scale in a newly industrialising economy
The economic costs of food self-sufficiency in China
China's Economic Growth, Structural Transformation and Food Trade
Since the end of the Cultural Revolution the Chinese economy has grown very rapidly. This growth has been spurred by the major economic reforms of the late 1970s and early 1980s which, among other things, liberalised domestic agricultural markets and international trade and finance, and switched the emphasis of industrial policy from heavy to light manufacturing. During the 1973-83 period China's per capita income grew at 4.5 per cent, almost tre…
