    <title>Abstract</title>
    We estimate the relationship between GDP per capita growth and the growth rate of the national saving rate using a panel of 130 countries over the period 1960–2017. We find that GDP per capita growth increases (decreases) the growth rate of the national saving rate in poor countries (rich countries), and a higher credit-to-GDP ratio decreases the national saving rate as well as the income elasticity of the national saving rate. We develop a model with a credit constraint to explain the growth-saving relationship by the saving behavior of entrepreneurs at both the intensive and extensive margins. We further present supporting evidence for our theoretical findings by utilizing cross-country time series data of the number of new businesses registered and the corporate saving rate.

  • Bubbles and Crowding-in of Capital via Savings Glut

    Marten Hillebrand, Tomoo Kikuchi, Masaya Sakuragawa

    Macroeconomic Dynamics   22 ( 5 ) 1238 - 1266  2018.07

    　View Summary

    This paper uncovers a mechanism by which bubbles crowd in capital investment. If capital formation is initially depressed by a binding credit constraint, a bubble triggers a savings glut. Higher returns in a new bubbly equilibrium attract additional savings, which are channeled to expand investment at the extensive margin, leading to permanently higher capital, output, and wages. We demonstrate that crowding-in through this channel is a robust phenomenon that occurs along the entire time path.

  • Does foreign debt contribute to economic growth?

    2021  

    　View Summary

    We study the relationship between foreign debt and GDP growth using a panel dataset of 122 countries from 1980 to 2015. We find that economic growth correlates positively with foreign debt and that the relationship is causal in nature by using the sovereign credit default swap spread as an instrumental variable. Moreover, using a local projection analysis we find that an increase in foreign debt leads to an increase in investment and then GDP growth in subsequent years. This indicates that foreign debt contributes to GDP growth through capital accumulation. On average, the sovereign default risk is lower and foreign debt is higher in OECD than non-OECD countries. This suggests that sovereign default risks are responsible for upstream capital flows - capital flows from poor to rich countries - that contribute to GDP growth in OECD countries. In our model foreign debt accounts at least partially for growth in OECD countries not explained by standard controls used in the growth regression literature. Foreign debt increases GDP growth by 0.4 percentage points on average accounting for 27 percent of economic growth from 1997 to 2015 in the US while it has no impact on GDP growth in China.&nbsp;&nbsp;
