Abstract: The aim of this research paper is to study seemingly negative trends in the global economy thathave been identified in previous research as markers of hyperglobalization. This paper will seekto examine those claims using relevant econometric testing such as the Chow test of stableparameters. This paper will specifically look at five different variables, including Krugman(1995) Gravity model, global inward foreign direct investment, global trade balance and valueadded manufacturing activity and world trade divided by global GDP. The development ofthese trends during the era of hyperglobalization and after will be examined with an OLSregression towards the global trade to GDP ratio. The results are then discussed and analysedusing international trade theory such as mercantilism and the Hecksher-Ohlin theorem. Thefindings of this paper suggests that there are statistically significant trend breaks in several ofthe variables, indicating an end to the hyperglobalization era as defined by Subramanian andKessler (2013) in the year 2011. The potential reasons for this shift in the global economy isdiscussed and examined through the perspective of the aforementioned trade theories. ; Sammanfattning Målet för denna uppsats är att studera påstådda trendbrott i variabler som i tidigare forskningsetts som uttryck för hyperglobalisering. Denna uppsats undersöker dessa påstådda trendbrottgenom att användas rigorösa ekonometriska test för att testa om dess trendbrott kan sägas varastatistiskt signifikanta. Denna uppsats använder sig till stor del av Chow test med dummyvariabel varianten för att testa parameter stabiliteten i främst fem variabler. Dessa variabler ärKrugmans version av gravity modellen, utländska direktinvesteringar globalt sett, globalaktivitet i den globala tillverkningssektorn och den globala bytesbalansen. Dessa variablertestas mot en variabel bestående av den globala handeln som en andel av den globalabruttonationalprodukten. Resultaten av den ekonometriska undersökningen diskuteras ochtolkas sedan ...
