Colorado State University Global Campus Sustainability of The US

Option #1: US Deficits

In Chapter 10 of International Economics, Carbaugh (2011) asks, “Can the United States continue to run current account deficits indefinitely?” (p. 361) Apply the same concepts to the EU’s balance of payments. At its current levels, is it sustainable in the long term? Does the United States’ unique position in the world economy allow the country to safely run persistent external deficits? Can persistent U.S. deficits and payments accounts be adjusted without bringing about an economic recession or crisis?
