Global Capital and National Institutions: Crisis and Choice in the International Financial Architecture
By: Laura Alfaro
Abstract
This module note presents a series of case studies taught in the Harvard Business School course Institutions, Macroeconomics, and the Global Economy (IMaGE). The course addresses the opportunities created by the emergence of a global economy and proposes strategies for managing the risks associated with globalization. The course emphasizes both the economic consequences of policies and the political and institutional context in which they are established and implemented. The material thus bridges a gap between firm- and household-level behavior, which is typically well understood by a managerial audience, and aggregate phenomena, which are often less understood by this audience.
