More on manufacturing convergence
I have blogged before about a rather surprising result (to me at least) regarding productivity convergence in manufacturing. Despite the lack of convergence among economies as a whole, there is apparently quite strong convergence within manufacturing industries. What this means is that manufac...

Are Americans better off than the Dutch?
For a lot of questions, comparisons of per-capita GDP yield the correct answer to a first-order of approximation. For example, are Americans richer than the Chinese? A comparison of GDPs per capita, adjusted for PPP differences, yields an unambiguous answer in favor of the U.S. Yes, income may...

Did Microsoft steal its fonts from the Turkish army?
The Turkish court that sentenced more than 300 officers on coup plotting charges in September apparently thinks so. The Turkish military has long set the ground rules for Turkish politics, and this was hailed as a landmark trial. Many saw it as the centerpiece of a democratic, mildly Islamist gov...

The battle is renewed: state capitalism, mercantilism, and liberalism
My new Project Syndicate column deals with the age-old battle between the liberal and mercantilist models of capitalism. While liberalism has won the intellectual fight, the real-world battle is still on, and is likely to shape the future of the world economy. [I]t is more accurate to think of...

Does the world need another economist's weblog?
Well, I don't know, but I was sufficiently intrigued by the notion that I thought I would give it a try. So here it goes. I hope to feature thoughts, comments and discussions on the issues that I care about--economic development, globalization, and economic policy in general. I welcome any sugg...

Real exchange rates and economic growth
This is my current obsession. Many if not most cases of rapid economic growth take place under undervalued currencies. Look for example at the cases of China and India in the accompanying charts. But the phenomenon is much more general, and extends to other countries as well. The question is wh...
