"A Simple Global Perspective on the US Slowdown, Boom-Bust Cycles and the Rise of Protectionism"
by Medina, Juan Pablo and Pablo S. Garcia


Abstract
In this paper we develop a multi-region DSGE model for the global
economy suited to understand the join determination of exchange
rates, trade balances and commodity prices across the world. We
analyze several international phenomena through the lens of the
model. First, we consider the US slowdown and its international
propagation. Second, we explore a global boom-bust cycle driven by
overoptimistic perspectives for the productivity and its
relationship with current account rebalancing. Finally, we analyze
the global economic consequences of protectionism.
