Global Imbalances and Power Imbalances

Christopher Clayton, Matteo Maggiori and Jesse Schreger

No 34717, NBER Working Papers from National Bureau of Economic Research, Inc

Abstract: We discuss the conditions under which global imbalances, such as China being a large foreign creditor and the United States being a large foreign debtor, might also generate power imbalances. We highlight possible theoretical channels and empirical measures that the future literature could investigate in a full treatment of this topic.
