| description |
The current account can be understood as
the outcome of investment decisions made by domestic and
foreign investors. These decisions can be decomposed into a
portfolio rebalancing and a portfolio growth component. This
paper provides empirical evidence of the importance of
portfolio rebalancing for the dynamics of the current
account. The authors evaluate the predictions of a
partial-equilibrium model of the current account with
dynamic portfolio choices, in which portfolio rebalancing is
driven by changes in investment opportunities. Using data
for the United States and Japan, the authors find evidence
supporting innovations in investment opportunities as an
important mechanism to explain international capital flows. |
