Abstract
A financial transfer of wealth between countries necessitates adjustments in expenditure, production, and relative prices that collectively comprise the transfer problem. Since the 1920s the transfer problem arising from war reparations and other unrequited transfers has occupied the attention of Keynes, several Nobel laureates, and other distinguished economists. The early literature centred on static two-country models of transfers, while more recent research has highlighted the intertemporal dimension of the transfer problem.
