Why are Poor Countries Financing the Rich?
Does foreign capital play a helpful, benign, or malign role in the process of economic growth?
The Chicago GSB Global Leadership Series Presents Breakfast with Raghuram G. Rajan
The Chicago Graduate School of Business Global Leadership Series presents Breakfast with Raghuram G. Rajan. Mr. Rajan is Chief Economist, International Monetary Fund, and Eric J. Gleacher Distinguished Service Professor of Finance, Chicago GSB.
This question has fuelled passionate debates amongst economists, policymakers, and in civil society. It has gained importance in recent years because of the curious, even seemingly perverse, pattern of global imbalances, whereby capital seems to be flowing “uphill” from poorer to richer countries. But this question has economic relevance beyond the current conjuncture because it goes to the heart of the process of development and the role that foreign capital plays in it. It also has enduring policy relevance as developing countries try to decide whether to participate in the process of financial globalization and, if so, in what form and to what degree. Rajan’s talk will shed some new light on these issues based on recent research.
