2 International financial integration 6 Avg abs. value of current account in % of GDP Sources: Taylor (1996), FERI. Note: The capital mobility index is defined as the average of the absolute values of current accounts relative to GDP for major capital-importing and capital exporting countries. The countries include Argentina, Australia, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Norway, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and the United States. 2
3 Eurozone vs G7 International financial integration 5 4 Average absolute CA/GDP in % Source: IMF, CEPII. Avg Eurozone Avg G7 3
4 Eurozone vs G7, weighted 5 International financial integration 4 Sum of absolute CA/GDP in % Source: IMF, CEPII. SumEurozone/GDP % SumG7/GDP % 4
5 Current account imbalances: two views Trade view: competitiveness, demand extra Euro area Capital view: growth in an open economy intra Euro area 5
6 Intra: trade view insufficient Relative consumer price, Spain / Germany 106 Index 1999= Relative unit labor cost, Spain / Germany Source: Eurostat. 6
7 Bilateral trade imbalances as a measure of financial integration Germany Spain RoW 50 Is capital flowing from Germany to Spain? 7
8 Capital flows consistent with bilateral trade imbalances Germany Spain RoW 100 8
9 And also Germany Spain RoW 1000 Bottom line: (TB Spain -TB Germany ) rather than TB Spain/Germany Or direct measure of bilateral flows (FDI?) 9
10 The Data Service exports? Part des services dans les exportations et les importations totales (%) Exportations Importations France Allemagne Royaume-Uni Etats-Unis Source : CEPII, CHELEM-BAL-CIN. TBint ra = 0? 10
11 TBint ra = f Intra-EU trade balances ( DummyEMU, GDPcap, GDPcap* EMU, FiscalBal, Oil, REER) Questions Theory Intertemporal approach? not bilateral. Why not TB-TB*? Productivity? Trade approach? output gap, growth differential, exports/imports. Econometric methodology Fixed effects? Reverse causality (RER)? Interpretation EMU dummy? 11
12 The Feldstein-Horioka Puzzle Pooled estimation? Correlation should be even lower for private saving and investment SGP constraints public saving to more or less equalize public investment 12
13 TB extra Extra-EU trade balances / GDP = f US ( TB( 1), ln( GDP / GDP*), ln REER) Questions Theory Trade approach. Output gaps? exports/imports. Why not the same approach as for intra-eurozone trade? Econometric methodology Dependent variable in % of US GDP: not comparable from one country to another. Seasonal adjustment? Year-on-year? Reverse causality (REER)? e.g. France Interpretation Germany=only country where TB reacts to exchange rate? 13
14 Should we look at intra-euro imbalances? YES. Example: Germany Restrictive Expansionary Spain Long run real int. Rate Current account Cyclically-adjusted fiscal balance Potential/effective GDP Productivity shock? DSGE modelling 14
