The data support historical accounts that income per capita growth begins to increase around the 1600s in Britain perhaps due to the level of capital, tax, and land income achieving an adequate threshold amount. According to some historians, this would also be about the time of capitalism’s ascent as the dominant economic system in England. Even then, dramatic increases in investment and economic growth do not appear until the late 18th Century when investment and deficits reach even higher levels. The data developed in this research note are offered as additional macroeconomic data supplements to works created by other authors and researchers.","PeriodicalId":433744,"journal":{"name":"ERN: Deficit; Surplus (Topic)","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114200184","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"An Empirical Investigation of the Twin Deficits Hypothesis in Nigeria: Evidence from Cointegration Techniques","authors":"A. Nurudeen, Awadh Ahmed Mohammed Gamal","doi":"10.5709/ce.1897-9254.405","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5709/ce.1897-9254.405","url":null,"abstract":"Nigeria has not been able to generate adequate revenue to match her expenditure over the years. It is not surprising therefore, that the country frequently operates deficit budget with its negative consequences on the current account balance. This study investigates the twin deficits hypothesis (that is, budget deficits and current account deficits relationship) for Nigeria over the 1981-2017 period using the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) and Dynamic Ordinary Least Squares (DOLS) estimation techniques. The result of the cointegration test indicates that there is a long-run relationship between budget deficits and current account deficits (along with oil prices and interest rate). The estimation results show that increases in budget deficits lead to increases in current account deficits in Nigeria in the short-run and the long-run. This finding validates the Keynesian assertion, but refutes the Ricardian Equivalence Hypothesis with respect to the relationship between the two deficits in Nigeria. The result of causality test using the Toda and Yamamoto (1995) approach illustrates the existence of a one-way causality from current account deficits to budget deficits. Based on this empirical evidence, this study recommends policies to reduce both deficits in Nigeria.","PeriodicalId":433744,"journal":{"name":"ERN: Deficit; Surplus (Topic)","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128485409","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, many economists worry that those policies can slow down the economy. By contrast, faster economic growth — without changing taxes or spending — reduces the deficit on two fronts, by raising revenue and by reducing demand for safety-net public spending. In this policy brief, we argue that boosting economic activity by reducing the regulatory burden works indirectly as a deficit-reducing policy.<br><br>This brief offers a pragmatic road-map for reducing the budget deficit through cutting red tape. First, we highlight how boosting productivity performance is critical to achieving faster economic growth. Second, we discuss how economic growth impacts the deficit. We conclude by offering evidence that regulation tends to worsen productivity, especially in product and labor markets, and that regulatory reform that results in productivity-enhancing growth could be a powerful way to improve the dire budget outlook for the United States.","PeriodicalId":433744,"journal":{"name":"ERN: Deficit; Surplus (Topic)","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128540112","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We take a granular look at these imbalances through the lens of their domestic counterpart: the net financial balance of the household sector, the government, non-financial corporations, and financial corporations. Our findings challenge the often-claimed view that the household sector lies behind most of the dynamics of the current account. In fact, we show that it is the non-financial corporation and the government sectors that account for the bulk of: (i) the co-movement with the standard set of fundamental covariates of the current account; (ii) the external adjustment and expenditure reduction in the aftermath of the global financial crisis; and (iii) the diverging dynamics during large and persistent current account imbalances. These results emphasize that analyzing domestic sectoral balances can lead to a better empirical and theoretical understanding of global imbalances.","PeriodicalId":433744,"journal":{"name":"ERN: Deficit; Surplus (Topic)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125858411","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

BRICS 국가들과 우리나라를 포함한 주요 선진국들과 비교해 봐도 인도는 미국을 제외하면 가장 오랜 기간 동안 경상수지 적자를 지속적으로 기록한 국가이다. 하지만 안정적 저축율과 함께 증가한 투자의 증가가 두드러지므로 인도의 경상수지 적자는 개도국이 경제성장을 위해 어쩔 수 없이 경험하는 과정으로 해석할 수도 있다. 본고는 인도 경상수지 적자의 단기요인을 분석하였는데 환율, 유가, 재정수지, 성장률 중 유가만이 경상수지 적자에 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 하지만 유가의 영향은 오랫동안 지속되지는 않는 것으로 보이며, 상품수지는 성장률에도 반응하는 것으로 나타났는데 이는 상품수지가 경상수지보다 경기에 더 민감함을 보여준다. 이외에도 실증분석 결과에 따르면 경상수지 적자가 단기적 요인보다 중장기적 요인에 더욱 의존함을 알 수 있다. 경상수지의 결정요인 분석 결과에서 경상수지와 순해외자산과의 음(-)의 관계는 인도의 순해외자산이 증가가 해외소득 증가를 통해 본원소득수지를 증가시켜 경상수지를 개선시키는 전달경로보다, 해외소득 증가에 따른 소비여력의 증가로 수입이 증가해 경상수지의 적자가 발생한다는 경로가 보다 설득력 있음을 의미한다. 단기요인 분석과 마찬가지로 재정수지는 경상수지에 별다른 영향이 없었으며, 금융심화에 따라 경상수지 적자가 발생한다는 결과는 저축에 따른 경상수지 개선보다, 금융 발전에 따른 소비여력의 증가가 인도의 상황임을 암시한다. 성장과 경상수지의 음(-)의 관계는 역시 소비증가에 따른 수입소비 증가가 인도 경상수지 적자에 영향을 미쳤음을 보여준다. 경상수지와 개방도 간 음(-)의 관계는 인도 개방에 따른 해외투자 유입이 경상수지 적자에 일정정도 기여했을 가능성을 나타낸다.

This paper also investigates key determinants of current account for India.The findings from impulse response functions show that oil price has effect on current account only and the effects of other factors, such as exchange rate, growth, and fiscal balance, are minimal. An analysis of forecasting error variance decomposition suggests that the problem of current account deficit in India be systemic rather than short-term.The results from an empirical investigation of determinants of current account provide that current account in India is negatively correlated with real GDP, openness and net foreign assets. In accordance with the analysis of short-term effect, no relationship between fiscal balance and current account is detected. In a long-term perspective, long lasting current account deficit in India looks structural phenomenon. It is an outcome of greater domestic demand than production. Greater amount of outflow of foreign investment than inflow has also contributed to current account deficit. Moreover, structural change in population toward higher proportion of working age population is one of the key factors to give rise to current account deficit in this country and it is inevitable for a fairly long time.","PeriodicalId":433744,"journal":{"name":"ERN: Deficit; Surplus (Topic)","volume":"82 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132755120","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We find that net official flows have a large but plausible effect on current account balances. The estimated effects are larger with instrumental variables (42 cents to the dollar on average compared with 24 without instruments), reflecting a possible downward bias in regressions without instruments owing to an endogenous response of net official flows to private financial flows. We consistently find larger impacts of net official flows when international capital flows are restricted and smaller impacts when capital is highly mobile. A further result is that there is an important positive effect of lagged net official flows on current accounts that we believe operates through the portfolio balance channel.","PeriodicalId":433744,"journal":{"name":"ERN: Deficit; Surplus (Topic)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131895342","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Between mid-1990s and mid-2000s, global imbalance moved from moderate to historically unprecedented levels. Particularly, the U.S. ran up its current account deficit from under $200 billion in 1995 to $800 billion in 2006, prior to the outbreak of the subprime mortgage crisis. At the same time, China and other Asian countries as well as oil exporters in the Middle East ran up record current account surpluses. The unprecedented nature of these numbers invited concern about whether global imbalances pose a significant risk to global economy. As shown in Figure 1, the global imbalance in the 2000s was more significant relative to previous global imbalances. The U.S. current account deficits have been mainly fueled by China, Japan, other Asian economies, and Germany’s export-led growth. However, as the world oil production approaches the peak, the pattern of global imbalances is likely to change dramatically. The center of global trade surpluses is likely to shift away from East Asia and towards the main oil exporters. In summary, global imbalance is a systematic result of global economic activities, and the large global imbalance is detrimental for both surplus and deficit countries. As the current account imbalance has reached an unprecedented level and the world economy becomes more globalized, the global imbalance will become a more importance issue.","PeriodicalId":433744,"journal":{"name":"ERN: Deficit; Surplus (Topic)","volume":"72 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-01-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114835942","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
