SUMMARY:Globalization\, Inequality\, and Policy
DESCRIPTION:Dans le cadre des conférences « En route vers le Sommet du G7
  dans Charlevoix: conférences pour une croissance économique qui profite
  à tout le monde »\, le CÉRIUM\, le CRÉ et l’Équipe de recherche «
  New Empirical Approaches to International Political Economy » (financée
  par le FRQ-SC) sont heureux de recevoir Jonathan D. Ostry\, du Fonds mon
 étaire international. La conférence sera suivie de deux courts commentai
 res.  Résumé The presentation will draw on the speaker’s recent work o
 n capital flows\, globalization\, inequality\, and growth\, including a ju
 st-published book (MIT Press\, 2017) on how to manage volatile capital flo
 ws\, and a forthcoming book (Columbia University Press\, 2018) on the caus
 es and consequences of high inequality.
\nA first part will focus on the r
 elationship between high or rising inequality and the fragility of economi
 c growth in many countries\, and the role that redistribution (and pre-dis
 tribution) policies can play in making growth more sustainable.
\nA second
  part will argue that many economic policies engender growth-equity tradeo
 ffs\, and that such tradeoffs—where they exist—should be taken into ac
 count in policy design and in the design of policy packages to ameliorate 
 the tradeoff.
\nA third part will argue that recent debates about the cost
 s of increased globalization miss an important aspect: namely\, financial 
 globalization. Financial globalization needs to be part of the discussion 
 because opening up to cross-border flows is associated with salient increa
 ses in inequality without much convincing evidence of a robust payoff in t
 erms of higher growth. A final part of the presentation will look at the c
 osts and benefits of paying down the public debt or what is sometimes refe
 rred to as “fiscal austerity.”  Commentaires
