Answer to Question 1

Globalization entails a global business cycle in which an increasing number of economies are swept along in fluctuations associated with the strategies and mechanisms of financial intermediation. When a nation's economy faces an economic disruption, whether or not associated with financial frictions, that is clearly localized (e.g., a business or political scandal) and does not call into question global financial instruments and markets, the effect of global integration is likely to be positive, supporting resource reallocation to move the affected economy beyond the crisis.
