Financial crash, commodity prices and global imbalances: A comment

Carmen Reinhart ()

MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: I appreciate the opportunity to discuss this paper by Ricardo Caballero, Emmanuel Farhi, and Pierre-Olivier Gourinchas. This paper was described to me as a mix of theoretical and empirical work that attempts a hat trick: explaining the joint combination of global imbalances, the deflation of the housing price bubble that created the subprime crisis, and volatile oil prices.
