I have written a blog post that Menzie Chinn of the La Follette School of Public Affairs has included in his well-known and respected blog, Econbrowser. The title is “Adjusting the Current Account,” and the link to it is here.

I have not posted anything for several months as I have been kept quite busy with professional and family tasks. I would like to return to posting, even on a less frequent basis. So, the next post will be about a new journal article of mine.
I will be also writing about international investment income. These arise from FDI assets, portfolio equity and bonds, and “other” items, principally bank loans. I am preparing a monograph on the subject and will share some. of my findings.

I would be happy to meet any readers of “Capital Ebbs and Flows.” However, you should check the schedule at the conference if you come, as there have been a few changes. The original schedule lists me as speaking during the 10:30 – 12:15 time slot in Room D at the session on “Monetary Unions.” I actually will be presenting a paper at that same time at the session in Room B on “Net Foreign Asset Positions and Portfolio Flows.”
