Abstract


Lessons learned from the current global financial crisis (why some countries narrowly missed the disaster: Australia, Canada, China)  
  • Three stages of globalization: free flow of goods, free flow of capital (financial capital), and free flow of people (human capital)
  • Relative advantages and complementarities between countries
  • Complementarities between hard and soft innovations and human mobility
