Kennedy and the Balance of Payments
By: David B. Yoffie
Abstract
In 1960, the United States was facing a balance of payments problem. Gold reserves were being drained, American products were losing competitiveness, and the dollar was under attack. This case analyzes the roots of this problem, provides an opportunity to discuss in depth balance of payments accounting, and allows students to explore various solutions to balance of payments difficulties.
