@Brad_Setser @Brad_Setser Have you done by any chance a similar chart with trade surplus as a share of the world gross product (rather than in dollar terms)?

The chart that ought to keep the IMF up at night (it suggests that the thesis of their flagship report on the global balance of payments is off, and trade imbalances did not, in fact, recede) 1/

I love the way that China’s high-speed rail transports millions of passengers a day to virtually every major city in the country at speeds reaching 350km/h with a 95%+ punctuality rate and this is what people are impressed by

@rodrikdani Great but the organizers have missed the fact that this week, there is only 5 hours difference between the East coast and Paris, so it would be great to fix the announced schedule...
