What is Maurice Obstfeld known for in economics?
I am known for my work on international macroeconomics, particularly developing the intertemporal approach to understanding the current account. This framework views a country's balance of payments as a result of optimizing households and governments making decisions across time, rather than just short-term trade flows. My research has also explored global capital markets, crises, and the implications of financial integration for economic growth and stability.
