Measuring Globalization: Better Trade Statistics For Better Policy, Susan Houseman, Michael Mandel

Susan N. Houseman

Understanding the impacts of globalization requires good data, and national statistical systems were not designed to measure many of the transactions occurring in today’s global economy. The chapters in this volume and its companion volume identify biases and gaps in national statistics, examine the magnitude of the problems they pose, and propose solutions to address significant biases and fill key data gaps.


Globalization, Inequality, And Redistribution: Theory And Evidence, Giray Gozgor, Priya Ranjan Dec 2014

Globalization, Inequality, And Redistribution: Theory And Evidence, Giray Gozgor, Priya Ranjan

Priya Ranjan

This paper constructs a simple theoretical model to study the implications of globalization for inequality and redistribution. It shows that when globalization increases inequality, a policymaker interested in maximizing the sum of welfare of all agents increases redistribution. Empirically, the paper examines the effects of globalization on inequality and redistribution in a panel data set of 140 countries for the period from 1970 to 2012. We find that both inequality and redistribution have been increasing with globalization. The results are robust to the inclusion of many different controls and the exclusion of outliers.
