A Global Equilibrium Model of Sudden Stops and External Liquidity Management
نویسندگان
چکیده
Emerging market economies, which have much of their growth ahead of them, either run or should run persistent current account deficits in order to smooth consumption intertemporally. The counterpart of these deficits is their dependence on capital inflows, which can suddenly stop. We make two contributions in this paper: First, we develop a quantitative global-equilibrium model of sudden stops. Second, we use this structure to discuss practical mechanisms to insure emerging markets against sudden stops, ranging from conventional non-contingent reserves accumulation to more sophisticated contingent instrument strategies. Depending on the source of sudden stops, their correlation with world events, and the quality of the hedging instrument available, the gains from these strategies can represent a substantial improvement over existing practices. .

متن کاملQuantitative implications of a debt-deflation theory of Sudden Stops and asset prices
This paper shows that the quantitative predictions of an equilibrium asset-pricing model with financial frictions are consistent with key features of the Sudden Stop phenomenon. Foreign traders incur costs in trading assets with domestic agents, and a collateral constraint limits external debt to a fraction of the market value of domestic equity holdings. When this constraint does not bind, sta...
متن کاملThe Excess Liquidity of the Open Economy and its Management
The excess liquidity of the open economy has become one main factor influencing the monetary markets, financial markets and even the whole macroeconomic. In era of the post-crisis, many countries have implemented the loose monetary policies, especially the quantitative easing policy in the U.S. which worsened the situation of the excess liquidity. Under this background, it will be more meaning...
متن کاملHow do Sudden Stops of Capital Flows Affect Currency Crises in Asia?
Sudden stops can be characterized by sharp reversals in capital inflows, large declines in output, and steep collapses in real asset prices (Mendoza and Smith, 2009). In almost all recent crises, capital account reversals amounting to more than 10% of an afflicted country’s GDP have occurred (Calvo and Reinhart, 1999 and Nabli, 1999). More specifically, reversals in capital flows to emergin...
متن کاملModelling Sudden Stops: The non-trivial role of preference specications
Recent international macroeconomics literature on sudden stops faces a puzzling ambiguity. Using essentially the same basic small, open economy model with collateral constraints, some studies successfully predict the empirically observed link between sudden stops and output drops, while others get the opposite result where sudden stops lead to increases in output. In this paper we resolve this ...
