  3. Merchandise Trade Shares (Direction of Trade Statistics) • Rise of China’s share in the U.S. market • Rise of China’s share in Korean exports

  4. Merchandise Trade Balances(Direction of Trade Statistics) • In billion dollars • Surplus vis-à-vis the U.S. and China • Deficit vis-à-vis Japan

  5. Product Ladder • Eichengreen and Tong: China had positive DFI spillovers to neighboring countries. • Kim et al: China’s product mix has become similar to Korea’s. • Complementary vs. substitutable products • Likely to have a bigger change relative to China than the U.S.

  6. Financial Linkage via the U.S. • Chinn and Frenkel : Among Asian countries, interest parity via the U.S. • Kim et al. : Asian financial markets integrated better with the global market (including the U.S.) than regionally • Deutsche bank : China relies on the U.S. for some financial intermediation • Regional integration: Branson and Healy, and Gensberg et al.

  7. J. Pierpont Morgan, 1912 • Is not credit based upon the money? No, Sir. • It has no relation? No, Sir; none whatsoever...the first thing is character. • ..why do the banks demand,...a statement of what the man has got, before they extend him credit? That is what they go into, but the first thing they ask is “I want to see your record.” • A man I do not trust could not get money from me on all the bonds in Christendom.
