We develop a simple welfare-based measure that captures how far countries are from the ideal of perfect risk sharing. We then take it to data and find international risk sharing has, indeed, improved during globalization. Improved risk sharing comes mostly from the convergence in rates of consumption growth among countries rather than from synchronization of consumption at the business cycle frequency. Our finding explains why many existing measures fail to detect improved risk sharing-they focus only on risk sharing at the business cycle frequency. 410 0$aIMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;$vNo. 2009/209 606 $aGlobalization 606 $aFinancial risk 606 $aFinance: General$2imf 606 $aMacroeconomics$2imf 606 $aMacroeconomics: Consumption$2imf 606 $aSaving$2imf 606 $aWealth$2imf 606 $aAggregate Factor Income Distribution$2imf 606 $aMacroeconomics: Production$2imf 606 $aGeneral Financial Markets: General (includes Measurement and Data)$2imf 606 $aFinance$2imf 606 $aConsumption$2imf 606 $aIncome$2imf 606 $aProduction growth$2imf 606 $aPrivate consumption$2imf 606 $aEmerging and frontier financial markets$2imf 606 $aEconomics$2imf 606 $aProduction$2imf 606 $aEconomic theory$2imf 606 $aFinancial services industry$2imf 607 $aJapan$2imf 615 0$aGlobalization. 615 0$aFinancial risk. 615 7$aFinance: General 615 7$aMacroeconomics 615 7$aMacroeconomics: Consumption 615 7$aSaving 615 7$aWealth 615 7$aAggregate Factor Income Distribution 615 7$aMacroeconomics: Production 615 7$aGeneral Financial Markets: General (includes Measurement and Data) 615 7$aFinance 615 7$aConsumption 615 7$aIncome 615 7$aProduction growth 615 7$aPrivate consumption 615 7$aEmerging and frontier financial markets 615 7$aEconomics 615 7$aProduction 615 7$aEconomic theory 615 7$aFinancial services industry 700 $aMatsumoto$b Akito$01472697 701 $aFlood$b Robert$0127224 701 $aMarion$b Nancy$0617061 712 02$aInternational Monetary Fund. 801 0$bDcWaIMF 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910788226503321 996 $aInternational Risk Sharing During the Globalization Era$93741569 997 $aUNINA
