Abstract:
This paper provides further evidence on the time series properties of national savings and domestic investment series using cointegration techniques. The findings in the paper for a sample of major OECD countries are in sharp contrast to most previous empirical findings relating to the Feldstein-Horioka puzzle. They provide preliminary evidence against what Dooley, Frankel and Mathieson (1987) call a "robust empirical regularity" and in favour of the assumption that international capital markets are highly integrated.
