Revisiting the Feldstein-Horioka Puzzle: An Institutional Sector View

Working on a unbalanced sample of OECD countries spanning the period 1970-2003, this paper contributes to the empirical literature on the Feldstein-Horioka puzzle by making three main innovations: First, it goes beyond the traditional national-level investment-saving equations to estimate, for the f...

Second, it explores the implications of giving separate consideration to current account deficits and surpluses. Lastly, it uses advanced panel data techniques to deal with endogeneity and to distinguish long- and short-run effects. New and provocative results emerge from the analysis. Empleando una muestra no balanceada de países de la OCDE para el período 1970-2003, nuestro trabajo contribuye a la literatura empírica sobre la paradoja de Feldstein-Horioka a través de tres innovaciones principales: primero, estimamos, por primera vez, regresiones entre inversión y ahorro a nivel de los sectores institucionales (familias, empresas y gobierno), además de los usuales ejercicios con datos nacionales; segundo, analizamos en detalle las implicancias de diferenciar los períodos de déficit y de superávit de cuenta corriente; por último, utilizamos técnicas modernas de datos de panel para atender el problema de endogeneidad y para distinguir efectos de corto y largo plazo. Resultados novedosos y provocativos emergen del análisis.
