2 Overview Economic activity funded by foreigners far more than before Lack of data, unclear how foreign capital allocated (vs. domestic) Assemble $27 trillion of positions-level data from global mutual funds to expose key role of currency in borrower and lender behavior Rationalize/organize findings in framework with downward sloping demand by currency and fixed costs of foreign currency issuance

36 A Simple Framework to Interpret These Findings N countries, each with (invested) wealth W i Assume bond holdings only depend on currency of denomination Only bonds are traded Specialist investors, fully segmented by currency Linear demand as in DeLong, Summers, & Shleifer (1990), Gromb & Vayanos (2002), Jeanne & Rose (2002), Gabaix & Maggiori (2015)

37 Currency-Specific Bond Demand Demand for debt of a firm in each currency: R p,$ = R f + Γ $ Q p,$ E p R p,e = R f + Γ e Q p,e E p, where Q p,k is dollar value of currency-k debt issued by firm p and E p is their starting capital or equity. Slope of demand curve is inverse of wealth investing in that currency: Γ $ = γ N j=1 θ $,jw j Γ e = γ N j=1 θ e,jw j, where θ i,j is country j s holdings of bonds in country i s currency

38 Firm Problem Firms differ in productivity A p, borrow to finance production All firms can borrow in LC, fixed cost C required to borrow in FC Accounting standards, treasury department, disclosure, road shows Cost of hedging and/or currency mismatch Firm p in EMU solves: max Q p,e,q p,$ A p K p R p,e Q p,e R p,$ Q p,$ C1 {Qp,$ >0}, where K p = E p + Q p,e + Q p,$. Key idea is that cost of borrowing increases with scale. At some point, worth paying C to reduce user cost. All firms will issue in LC. Firms issuing multiple currencies will be bigger, more productive (A p ), and more levered.

39 Key Characteristics of the Environment Define the international currency as that used most in denominating bonds (i.e. flattest demand, deepest market), or largest Θ k : where ω j = W j l W l = W j W. Θ k = j ω j θ k,j = γ W Γ k, There is benefit of being IC issuer (e.g. USA in 2015), LC firms funding cost reduced by accessing foreign capital Simple framework generates that in international currency issuer: 1 LC-only firms attract more foreign financing than in other countries 2 LC-only firms constitute a larger share of total borrowing 3 LC-only firms bigger, more levered (vs MC firms) than elsewhere

52 Conclusion New dataset to examine global capital flows at the micro level Striking importance of currency in portfolio determination, easily rationalized in model with fixed costs to issue in foreign currency Leads to: Very different take on home bias Novel benefits of issuing an international currency: Akin to opening capital account for LC-only borrowers Implications of rise of the Dollar and fall of the Euro

54 Estimating Investor Currency Preferences Prior analyses suggest currency preference dominant factor in shift, but could possibly also reflect: bond type, residency, etc. Use model and micro data together to isolate role of currency in driving changes over time in objects we ve emphasized All we need to do is use those same security level regressions: s i,p,c = α i + δ i,p + β i 1 {LCc =LC i } + Controls + ɛ i,p,c W j (1 θ i,j ) W W i Solve for 2 unknowns θ i,i and η i = j i ) (1 α i β i θ i,i + ω ( ) i α i + β i η i = 1 ω i (1 α i ) θ i,i + ω i 1 ω i α i η i = 1 + α i from 2 equations: ω ( ) i α i + β i 1 ω i
