Losing our marbles in the new century?: the great rebalancing in historical perspective

We focus on the two eras of globalization: then (the period 1870 to 1913) and now (the period since the 1970s). We look at the special position in the global macroeconomy of the hegemons in each era: Britain then, and the United States now. And adducing historical data to match what we know from the contemporary record, we proceed in the tradition of New Comparative Economic History to see what lessons the past might have for the present.

In brief: understanding the rising Japanese trade surplus

Intuition suggests that a strengthening of the yen should moderate Japan's trade surplus by reducing the price competitiveness of Japanese goods. Yet the Japanese merchandise trade surplus more than doubled from 1990 to 1993 while the yen appreciated roughly 30 percent against the dollar. This article shows how a sequence of increases in the yen's value repeatedly pushed the trade surplus higher, delaying the downward adjustment that eventually results from a yen appreciation. Once the yen stabilizes, the author suggests, the surplus should fall significantly.

Viewing the current account deficit as a capital inflow

With the 1998 current account deficit approaching $225 billion, attention is again focusing on the deficit's impact on U.S. jobs. Although a high deficit does adversely affect employment in export- and import-competing industries, it also means that considerable foreign capital is flowing into the United States, supporting domestic investment spending that stimulates growth and creates jobs.
