Mercantilism as strategic trade policy: the Anglo-Dutch rivalry for the East India trade
Irwin, Douglas A. (1990)
This paper provides a reinterpretation of seventeenth-century mercantilist trade doctrine and policy in light of recent theories of strategic trade policy. Mercantilist economic thought, like strategic export-promotion theories, emphasized the use of government policy to capture rents that arise from imperfect competition in international trade. The economic structure of the Anglo-Dutch rivalry for the East India trade provides an excellent illustration of an environment in which the profit-shifting motive for strategic trade policies exists. Using data from the seventeenth-century East India ...

How Concentrated Is the Clearing Ecosystem and How Has It Changed Since 2007?
Patel, Ketan B. (2024-07)
After the global financial crisis of 2008–09, regulators across the globe enacted regulations to repair and strengthen financial markets. Part of the regulations were to mandate that more financial market contracts are cleared through central counterparties (CCPs). CCPs are financial institutions that guarantee performance of a financial contract—typically the buying and selling of contracts related to securities or derivatives. In the United States, the regulations for central clearing were established by the Dodd–Frank Act in 2010 and further promulgated by rules enacted by the ...

Growth uncertainty and risksharing
Van Wincoop, Eric; Athanasoulis, Stefano (1997-10-01)
We propose a new methodology to evaluate the gains from global risksharing that is closely connected to the empirical growth literature. We obtain estimates of residual risk (growth uncertainty) at various horizons from regressions of country-specific deviations from world growth on a wide set of variables in the information set. Since this residual risk can be entirely hedged, we use it to obtain a measure of welfare gain that can be achieved by a representative country. We find that nations can reap very large benefits from engaging in such risksharing arrangements. Using post-war data, the ...
