This document summarizes the background, research question, theoretical considerations, empirical model, and proposed analysis of a study investigating whether financial globalization decreases welfare. The study aims to empirically examine how the rising importance of valuation effects (changes in asset prices) impacts economic performance, specifically consumption volatility, which is a proxy for welfare. While the theoretical relationship between valuation effects and consumption is unclear, the researcher hypothesizes that consumption volatility may increase with greater valuation effect volatility, representing a welfare loss. An empirical model is proposed to test this relationship conditional on currency composition and risk sharing ability.
