BU’s Global Economic Governance Initiative (GEGI), in partnership with the Initiative for Policy Dialogue at Columbia University, and the Institute for World Economics and Politics at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, recently published a new report titled “Capital Account Liberalization in China: The Need for a Balanced Approach.” The result of a collaborative workshop at BU with experts from academia, governments, the International Monetary Fund, and the Bank for International Settlements, this report reflects on the experiences that emerging markets have had with capital account liberalization in past decades, so that China can avoid pitfalls as it opens its financial system in the decades to come. The report is the third in a series of Pardee Task Force Reports on “Managing Capital Flows for Long-Run Development.”

Speakers include Kevin P. Gallagher, Associate Professor, Pardee School of Global Studies, BU (GEGI Co-Director & one of the lead authors of the report); Bilge Erten, Assistant Professor, Department of Economics, Northeastern University (Report author); and William Grimes, Professor, Pardee School of Global Studies and Director of Research at Center for Finance, Law & Policy, BU.
