Why Does Capital Flow from Equal to Unequal Countries?
Stockholm University, Faculty of Social Sciences, Institute for International Economic Studies.
2021 (English)Report (Other academic)
Abstract [en]

Capital flows from equal to unequal countries. We document this empirical regularityin a large sample of advanced economies. The capital flows are largely driven by privatesavings. We propose a theory that can rationalize these findings: more unequal countriesendogenously develop deeper financial markets. Households in unequal counties, in turn,borrow more, driving the observed direction of capital flows.
