At the level of commodity group prices, however, uncertainty becomes significantly more important, with its contribution exceeding one-third of the variance at longer horizons across all commodity groups.

Unlike traditional Bilateral Investment Treaties (BITs) aimed at asset protection, modern FTA provisions regulate production processes. We find that environmental provisions exert a significant negative impact on China’s overall OFDI. This deterrent effect operates through three distinct mechanisms. The compliance cost channel creates a filtering effect that curbs investment in pollution-intensive sectors while simultaneously triggering a compensatory mechanism through induced green innovation to mitigate compliance burdens. The institutional credibility channel drives an asymmetry in entry modes where environmental provisions exert a significantly stronger deterrent effect on cross-border M&amp;A than on greenfield investment. The regulatory uncertainty channel reveals a non-linear evolution regarding host-country enforcement where environmental provisions facilitate OFDI in moderately regulated environments by acting as commitment devices that resolve ambiguity but deter it elsewhere. Crucially, these regulatory effects are driven exclusively by provisions with explicit enforcement measures rather than aspirational goals. These findings suggest that environmental provisions reshape capital flows effectively only when specific binding clauses align with credible institutional contexts.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48331,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Money and Finance","volume":"165 ","pages":"Article 103590"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147804068","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Stronger DD externalities lead to greater reserve accumulation to stabilize output and mitigate consumption volatility.

Focusing on Korea (with Mexico as a benchmark), the model features transitory and trend productivity shocks, a world interest-rate shock, and three financial frictions: a debt-elastic country spread, an expected-productivity premium, and a working-capital requirement. Using Korean quarterly data (1994Q1–2012Q4), reduced-form evidence shows that consumption in Korea responds more strongly to output than in Mexico and that the spread is governed by both debt and expected productivity, whereas in Mexico it is driven only by debt. Joint GMM estimation of the structural model and counterfactuals indicates a dominant trend component: trend shocks account for about 82% of TFP-growth variance and roughly 66% of output volatility and 76% of consumption volatility, whereas fluctuations in Mexico are chiefly transitory. Removing financial frictions eliminates countercyclical interest-rate and trade-balance behavior, lowers output volatility, and raises consumption volatility; restoring only the expected-productivity premium largely reinstates countercyclicality, while the debt-elastic channel is key for output amplification. The working-capital parameter is negligible.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48331,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Money and Finance","volume":"164 ","pages":"Article 103573"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147656476","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper explores two related questions critical to understanding public investment as an effective fiscal policy tool for addressing private investment shortfalls: (1) What is the structural relationship between public and private investment? and (2) Does public investment stimulate private investment? We use changes in predicted disbursements on loans from official creditors to developing country governments to identify the exogenous component of changes in public investment. Accordingly, our estimates identify a local average treatment effect corresponding to increases in public investment financed through official external loans. Employing panel data for 109 developing countries over 1980-2019, we find that public investment is an <em>Edgeworth complement</em> to private investment, raising its marginal productivity. Quantitatively, we find a crowding-in effect, where an extra dollar of public investment that is accompanied by an expansion of official external finance increases private investment by 1.6 dollars. The crowding-in effect is visible for up to three years, rising to about 2 dollars. Our results also reveal strong evidence of crowding-in of private investment in Sub-Saharan Africa and low-income countries—underscoring the importance of official financing to countries where investment needs are greatest but access to affordable finance remains limited.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48331,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Money and Finance","volume":"164 ","pages":"Article 103567"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147656475","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
