This framework offers several advantages over existing <em>de facto</em> classifications. First, it provides a unified framework that integrates the most divergent classifications, the <em>RR</em> and <em>LYS</em> classifications, not only achieving broader coverage but also encompassing a wide spectrum of exchange regimes. Second, it fits better with the historical developments of exchange rate regimes in the post-Bretton Woods era. Among others, it brings a nuanced perspective on the so-called hollowing-out hypothesis by showing that the evolution of <em>de facto</em> regimes —especially in emerging economies since the late 1990s— has essentially involved a shift toward more tightly “managed” intermediate regimes, rather than a move away from them. As an illustration of the insightfulness of our classification, we empirically revisit the relationship between currency crises and exchange rate regimes. Our classification not only associates a higher probability of currency crisis with both intermediate and floating regimes, but also shows better statistical performances in predicting currency crises compared to other classifications.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":13794,"journal":{"name":"International Economics","volume":"180 ","pages":"Article 100556"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142526830","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on daily news coverage relating to 39 European countries, the emergence of such an offsetting effect is evaluated by introducing the concept of conflict pressure to quantify indirect conflict exposure. Societies not directly involved in a major conflict are found to respond to conflict escalation nevertheless: Across all stakeholder groups, attention dedicated to refugees increases temporarily, irrespective of actual support requirements. Providing additional material support to displaced individuals for a prolonged time, in turn, is mostly within the purview of governmental actors and, surprisingly, those from the economy.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":13794,"journal":{"name":"International Economics","volume":"180 ","pages":"Article 100555"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142526831","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The influence of economic globalization has transitioned from positive to negative. In contrast, both social and political globalization shifted from being neutral and positive, respectively, to having adverse impacts. These findings underscore crucial policy implications, emphasizing the need for strategies that harness the potential of economic globalization while mitigating the adverse effects of social and political globalization.

This paper develops an original computable general equilibrium model framework to assess two policy options to reach these minimum prices for livestock industries. The first relies on trade policy instruments and the second on a new competition policy with price discrimination and motivated by the Egalim laws. We find that the first option is unlikely to support French and European farm and food incomes, particularly if third countries reply with similar trade instruments.
