A Note on Human Capital and the Feldstein-Horioka Puzzle

Margarita Katsimi and Thomas Moutos

No 2007-30, Economics Discussion Papers from Kiel Institute for the World Economy

Abstract: In this paper we reexamine the Feldstein-Horioka finding of limited international capital mobility by using a broader view (i.e., including human capital) of investment and saving. We find that the Feldstein-Horioka result is impervious to this change.
