International Capital Flows When Safe Assets Scarcity Matters
Résumé
In an open multi-country economy, the safe assets supply shapes the pattern of international capital flows. A higher productivity growth rate raises the net capital inflows for economies with abundant safe assets, but reduces the net capital inflows for economies with scarce safe assets. The cross-section analysis on a sample of 170 economies over 1980-2013 confirms the theory. The evidence is robust for instrument-variable (IV) analysis method.
