Fragmentation can then generate equilibria where countries might find it optimal to switch to yuan-denominated debt. Link to the paper: https://t.co/suZ6RCGIjl. Comments welcome!

Very happy to see my paper with Felipe Benguria and Felipe Saffie “Geopolitical Fragmentation, Sovereign Debt and Dollar Dominance” featured in the @FinancialTimes!

We outline a theory for when dollar dominance becomes fragile. We show how geopolitical fragmentation can shift countries’ trade toward yuan-linked markets, which leaves governments with dollar inherited debt but larger yuan revenues.

Volatile US interest rates depress emerging market productivity by tightening collateral constraints and discouraging innovation, even when average rates do not change, from Nils Gornemann, Eugenio I. Rojas, and Felipe Saffie https://t.co/YpIbulTwtR

New paper (with Nils Gornemann and Felipe Saffie): Volatile Rates, Fragile Growth: Global Financial Risk and Productivity Dynamics. We show that volatility in U.S. interest rates has persistent effects on growth in emerging markets, but not in advanced economies. 1/4

[Eugenio Rojas @_e_r_b]

Collateral constraints bind only in bad states, so the mechanism is asymmetric. Higher interest rate volatility generates larger swings, pushing more often into the constrained region. Losses in bad states are not offset in good ones: volatility alone lowers innovation & growth.4

1/🧵 New Working Paper!

Studying the macroeconomics of fixed cost models requires solving the PDE governing the dynamic distribution: the *Kolmogorov Forward Equation*

In this paper, I solve the PDE analytically 👨‍🏫
