On the savings wedge in international capital fl ows

Jacek Rothert

Departmental Working Papers from United States Naval Academy Department of Economics

Abstract: I explore the determinants of the savings wedge in international capital flows computed for a sample of 68 developing countries in Gourinchas and Jeanne (2013). I show that size (rather than direction (allocation)) of net capital fl ows we observe in the data is the major driver of the negative correlation between the calibrated savings wedge and productivity growth.
