“[T]he old models simply no longer apply in our
globalized, interconnected and expanded economy…By
spurring productivity and fomenting tectonic economic
changes, globalization has acted as a tailwind for the
Fed’s – and other central banks – efforts to hold down
inflation.”
Richard Fisher – President, FRB Dallas

• U.S. trade• Trade/GDP• Trade Prices – rapid in 70s, relatively slow in 80s and 90s, faster than GDP deflator recently• Exports of non-agricultural goods have increased as fast as exports of services• Real manufacturing output/GDP constant• Geographic pattern of trade shifting to developing counties • China increasingly important – problem?
• Implications for U.S. monetary policy• International sector increasingly important for U.S. economic activity• Models based on foreign output gaps of dubious value• Negligible exchange-rate pass-through for U.S.
