Abstract:
In this lecture, Ulrich Volz will discuss the development of the East Asian trade-production network as one of the underlying reasons for China’s current account surplus and the role that regional economic cooperation in East Asia, and regional monetary cooperation in particular, can play in reducing global imbalances. He will also review the costs and benefits of regional monetary integration in East Asia, and discuss different cooperation strategies.
