THE DEMAND FOR LIQUID ASSETS, CORPORATE SAVING, AND INTERNATIONAL CAPITAL FLOWS
构建了一个动态开放经济宏观模型,将企业储蓄视为受信贷约束企业的流动资产需求,发现该模型与标准模型不同,外国债券需求与国内投资是互补而非替代关系,能解释高增长新兴经济体的若干典型事实。
The recent period of capital outflows from emerging economies has coincided with an increase in their corporate saving. In this paper, we model corporate saving as a demand for liquid assets by credit-constrained firms in a dynamic open-economy macroeconomic model. We find that the implications of this model are very different from standard models, because the demand for foreign bonds is a complement to domestic investment rather than a substitute. We show that this complementarity is at work when an emerging economy is on its convergence path or when it has a higher TFP growth rate. This framework is consistent with a number of stylized facts found in high-growth, high-investment emerging economies.
