Macroeconomics and International Economics
The Macro and International Economics Research Group consists of faculty and PhD students and is primarily a research group. Most of the interaction centres around our weekly seminar and workshop, but we also take responsibility for the teaching curriculum in macroeconomics, international finance and international trade. Our members are also affiliated with the Centre for Competitive Advantage in the Global Economy (CAGE), the Centre for Macroeconomics (CfM), the National Institute of Economic and Social Research (NIESR), and the Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR). We frequently host visitors for research seminars or longer stays.
At the heart of the group's interaction are the weekly seminar for external visitors and a weekly workshop for internal faculty and PhD students. Our other events include annual workshops in empirical macro (with Warwick Business School), international trade (with CAGE) and the "Micro and Macro" workshops (with the Econometrics and Labour Group), occasional conferences, an internal summer workshop, reading groups, and a welcome lunch for the new PhD students at the start of the academic year.

Macro/International Seminar - Lidia Smitkova (Oxford)S2.79Title: Dissecting Structural Change in an Open Economy. Here is the linkLink opens in a new window. Abstract -- This paper studies the role of trade and international borrowing in driving structural change. I decompose the change in manufacturing shares into contributions by sectoral expenditure shares, trade shares, and aggregate trade imbalances, and map these into structural primitives in a quantitative trade model with endogenous borrowing. Using data from twenty economies, I show that trade specialization and international borrowing explain 34% of the average change in the manufacturing share, half of the cross-country heterogeneity in the patterns of industrialization, half the dynamics in high-technology subsectors of manufacturing, and much of the China-driven deindustrialization and ‘miracle’ industrialization in South Korea. |
