Incorporating Lower Mississippi River Port Assets Into Emergency Preparedness And Response Initiatives, James R. Amdal, Jay Jayawardana, Stanley L. Swigart

UNOTI Publications

The Lower Mississippi River (LMR) and its 5 deep water ports represent a significant national asset as well as a critical portion of a major transportation corridor from the heartland of the country to the Gulf of Mexico. The lower portion of the Mississippi River is particularly subject to major disruptions caused by both manmade and natural disasters. In light of recent events of national significance (Hurricane Katrina of 2005 and the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill of 2010) researchers at UNOTI questioned: 1) what assets at the LMR ports are available to respond to these events; 2) what agreements either …

Trilemma Policy Convergence Patterns And Output Volatility, Joshua Aizenman, Hiro Ito Feb 2012

Trilemma Policy Convergence Patterns And Output Volatility, Joshua Aizenman, Hiro Ito

Economics Faculty Publications and Presentations

We examine the open macroeconomic policy choices of developing economies from the perspective of the economic “trilemma” hypothesis. We construct an index of divergence of the three trilemma policy choices, and evaluate its patterns in recent decades. We find that the three dimensions of the trilemma configurations are converging towards a “middle ground” among emerging market economies -- managed exchange rate flexibility underpinned by sizable holdings of international reserves, intermediate levels of monetary independence, and controlled financial integration. Emerging market economies with more converged policy choices tend to experience smaller output volatility in the last two decades. Emerging markets with …
