Summary: Economic History, International Finance, Institutions and Development
My research is focused on topics of international finance, institutional economics, and public finance in a historical perspective. One of the guiding lines of my research has been the contention that "the past has useful economics" or that we can use the information on the workings of past markets to draw valid inferences for current debates or to test theories of economic behaviour. My latest papers deal with the nature of governance in an international market for sovereign debt, the determinants of capital flows to developing nations fixed exchange rate pegs and emigrants remittances. This research speaks to the present-day process of international economic integration by studying the transformations brought about by the "first wave of globalisation" before World War One.
