Summary: | The relationship between current account developments and changes in the macroeconomic environment remains a key issue in open economy macroeconomics. This paper extends the standard intertemporal optimizing model of the current account to incorporate the effects of macroeconomic uncertainty on private savings behavior. It is shown that the greater the uncertainty in nominal cash flow, defined as output less investment savings and, other things equal, the larger is the current account surplus. Empirical support for the model is found using quarterly data from four large industrial countries. |
