10 The established view Openness to trade)specialization)increases volatility. Implicit assumption: sector-speci c shocks are the prevalent source of volatility. But in volatility accounting, country-speci c shocks (a ecting all sectors) account for a large part of overall volatility. Caselli et al. (Very preliminary) Diversi cation through Trade May / 39
11 The established view Openness to trade)specialization)increases volatility. Implicit assumption: sector-speci c shocks are the prevalent source of volatility. But in volatility accounting, country-speci c shocks (a ecting all sectors) account for a large part of overall volatility. Openness to trade may lead to sectoral specialization, but it may also help diversify country-speci c shocks (both on the demand and supply sides). Caselli et al. (Very preliminary) Diversi cation through Trade May / 39
12 An intuition for a link Increased trade openness brings about a larger pool of potential suppliers of inputs, and thus the potential for diversi cation of cost shocks. Caselli et al. (Very preliminary) Diversi cation through Trade May / 39
13 An intuition for a link Increased trade openness brings about a larger pool of potential suppliers of inputs, and thus the potential for diversi cation of cost shocks. the larger the pool of suppliers, the lower the impact of shocks a ecting particular suppliers. Caselli et al. (Very preliminary) Diversi cation through Trade May / 39
14 An intuition for a link Increased trade openness brings about a larger pool of potential suppliers of inputs, and thus the potential for diversi cation of cost shocks. the larger the pool of suppliers, the lower the impact of shocks a ecting particular suppliers. through GE, mitigation of supply shocks may also lead to more stable global demands.

Increased trade openness also means that a large shock to a particular country (e.g. US), can have a larger impact on other countries through stronger demand linkages. Caselli et al.

46 Adding country-speci c shocks In EKAL, λ 0 js are deterministic, so GDP per capita is a deterministic constant for each country j. Assume now that λ 0 js are subject to shocks Higher realization of λ j leads to stochastically lower costs x in country j and higher GDP j Stochasticity in λ j imparts stochasticity in GDP j.

66 Next Steps Use data on bilateral trade, gross output, GDP to back out the λs and κs. Study how much of the changes in volatility and comovement patterns can be accounted for by changes in κ, the process generating λ, the growth of China. Caselli et al.

71 Next: Back to the experiments How much can the (presumable) increase in κs account for the observed changes in volatility and comovements? Or was it good luck improvements in the distribution of λ? Or was it the rise of China (increase in L)? What if, with this structure in place, the US s λ gets a bad draw? Caselli et al.

79 Some Conclusions When country-speci c shocks are imperfectly correlated, trade can lead to lower volatility, particularly when i) a country is small ii) the share of tradeables in the economy is big iii) trading partners are less volatile or the correlations are small. The introduction of new trading partners: i) increases the correlation of growth rates with the new partners ii) can decrease bilateral correlations among members of the old group (US-Europe) Caselli et al. (Very preliminary) Diversi cation through Trade May / 39
80 Some More Tentative Conclusions Trade seems to have contributed to lower volatility in the majority of countries analyzed For the US, if the process of shocks had been the same as in the , openness would have contributed to lower volatility. But it appears that the process of shocks in the US became signi cantly less volatile post 84; thus, openness exposed it to the shocks of its more volatile partners. A very tentative conclusion is that in the US trade actually contributed to higher volatility. Caselli et al. (Very preliminary) Diversi cation through Trade May / 39
