OxTalks is Changing
On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Why Does Capital Flow from Equal to Unequal Countries?
Capital flows from equal to unequal countries. We find this to be true in both advanced and in emerging economies, and we find this result to be largely driven by private savings. We introduce a model that can rationalize this fact: more unequal countries endogenously develop deeper financial markets. These markets, in turn, allow households in unequal countries to borrow more, hence the observed direction of capital flows.
