This Festschrift in honor of Professor Vittorio Corbo assembles frontier research on economic policies in emerging-market economies. This book addresses key policy questions in essays, theoretical models, and empirical research, in the fields of macroeconomics, financial integration, and economic development. The volume’s twelve chapters are organized in five major areas. Two essays on development thinking discuss the relation between global trade and growth, and the evolution of development thinking. Three models develop new interpretations of the recent global financial crisis, focusing on financial markets, capital flows, and financial stability. The book’s third part is comprised by three chapters on fiscal sustainability and fiscal rules. Monetary policy and the exchange rate are the subject of two subsequent chapters. The volume’s final part comprises two chapters on the relation between poverty and economic growth, and between trade liberalization and economic performance.
