International
finance, institutional economics, and public finance in a historical
perspective. "The past has useful economics" and we can use it to draw
valid inferences for current debates or to test theories of economic
behaviour. I deal with the nature of governance in an international
market for sovereign debt, the determinants of capital flows to
developing nations, fixed exchange rate pegs and emigrants'
remittances. The "first wave of globalisation" before World War One is
relevant to the present-day process of international economic
integration.
