SUMMARY:Luca FORNARO (CREI\, UPF and Barcelona GSE)\,  "A Theory of Monetary Union and Financial Integration"
DESCRIPTION:The Macroeconomics Seminar: \nTime: 12:15 pm – 13:30 pm\nDate: 17th of May 2021\nby Zoom\n\n\nLuca FORNARO (CREI\, UPF and Barcelona GSE)\, “A Theory of Monetary Union and Financial Integration” \nAbstract : Since the creation of the euro\, capital flows among member countries have been large and volatile. Motivated by this fact\, I provide a theory connecting the exchange rate regime to\nfinancial integration. The key feature of the model is that monetary policy affects the value of collateral that creditors seize upon default. Under flexible exchange rates\, national governments\ncan expropriate foreign creditors by depreciating the exchange rate\, which induces investors to impose tight constraints on international borrowing. Creating a monetary union\, by eliminating this source of currency risk\, increases financial integration among member countries. This process\, however\, does not necessarily lead to higher welfare. The reason is that a high degree of capital mobility can generate multiple equilibria\, with bad equilibria characterized by inefficient capital flights. Capital controls or fiscal transfers can eliminate bad equilibria\, but their implementation requires international cooperation. \nOrganizers:\n\nJean-Baptiste MICHAU (Polytechnique-CREST) \nSponsors:\nCREST \n\n
