A New Tri-channel Decomposition of External Adjustment:Model and Application

扫码查看
In this study,we expanded upon the current benchmark model of external adjustment and dissected the concept of international financial adjustment into two distinct components:valuation effect and investment income.Our enhanced model,which we refer to as"tri-channel model,"incorporates three key elements:trade balance,valuation effect,and investment income.Using a consolidated quarterly dataset that encompassed China s balance of payments and international investment positions from 1998 to 2020,we estimated the relative importance of the three newly introduced adjustment channels to Chinas cyclical external imbalance.We found that the trade balance channel played a major role,accounting for approximately 76 percent of cyclical external adjustment.The contribution of the investment income channel to cyclical external adjustment(21 percent)was much greater than that of the valuation effect channel(3 percent).These findings imply that policy responses to the cyclical external imbalance in China should focus more on the trade balance and investment incomes channels rather than exploiting the valuation effects.
