Technology shocks and current account dynamics
Despite success along some dimensions, international business cycle models have difficulty replicating several salient features of international capital flows among developed countries. In particular, net exports and current account balances are much more persistent in the data than in standard models. We account for this feature of the data with a simple onegood two-country model in which tech...
متن کاملIntertemporal Dynamics: Convergence Speed of Current Account across Countries
Empirical data shows that current account has the property of mean-reversion and the speed of current account convergence is heterogenous across countries. In order to explore the factors which affect the current account adjustment speed of a small country, this paper builds up a model to study how current account would be affected by factors such as labor supply and monetary policies. We found...

متن کاملColor-coordinate system from a 13th-century account of rainbows.
We present a new analysis of Robert Grosseteste's account of color in his treatise De iride (On the Rainbow), dating from the early 13th century. The work explores color within the 3D framework set out in Grosseteste's De colore [see J. Opt. Soc. Am. A29, A346 (2012)], but now links the axes of variation to observable properties of rainbows. We combine a modern understanding of the physics of r...
