The macroeconomic effects of debt- and equity-based capital inflows ¬リニ

چکیده
This paper considers whether debt-based capital inflows have different effects onmany shortrun macroeconomic indicators than equity-based capital inflows. Using external instruments in a structural VAR for identification, we estimate the response of domestic variables like the output gap, inflation, the exchange rate, stock prices, credit growth, and interest rates to an exogenous shock to debtor equity-based capital inflows. An exogenous increase in debt inflows leads to a significant increase in the output gap, inflation, stock prices and credit growth and an appreciation of the exchange rate. An exogenous increase in equity-based capital inflows has almost no effect on the same variables. Thus the short-run macroeconomic effects of exogenous capital inflows are almost entirely due to changes in debt, not equity-based, capital inflows. © 2015 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

متن کاملDebt maturity choices when capital inflows can suddenly stop
Much of the literature on capital inflow sudden stops uses models with short term debt only but draws conclusions about the role of debt maturities in crises. In this paper short and long term debt are introduced in an infinite horizon, representative agent model that is consistent with modern open economy macroeconomic models of the type presented in Obstfeld and Rogoff (1996).

متن کاملMacroeconomic Risk and Debt Overhang PRELIMINARY AND INCOMPLETE
We demonstrate the impact of macroeconomic risk on the investment decisions of firms with risky debt and the costs of debt overhang. Debt overhang stems from the transfer between equity holders and debt holders after investment is made. The cyclicality of a firm’s assets in place and its growth options affects when such transfers are likely to occur and how much they can be, which provides a ra...
