Dr. Cline's current research explores both the United States and international macroeconomics.
"In the U.S. I explore the determinants of inflation and its relationship to income distribution. In particular, I find that much of the moderate inflation of the 1990s and 2000s was based on low wages and worker bargaining power. I am also currently exploring the roots of financial development in the United States over the 19th century in comparison to countries who have remained on the periphery of global finance.
"Internationally, I am in interested in how government debt markets have evolved over time and the causes of international debt crises. My current work is exploring the historical roots of what is called 'original sin' in economics. That is, some countries are able to issue debt in their own currency while some are not — and the two clubs have had essentially the same members since the emergence of sovereign debt markets in the early 19th century. The inability to issue debt in domestic currency puts a severe constraint on governments and the private sector and has in many cases been at the root of various crises. I have argued that often it is external financial conditions and commodity prices that are at the root of international debt crises regardless of the 'fiscal responsibility' of the country in crisis."
