11 HI OECD saving and investment ratios declined from 27% to 22% in the past 30 years LMIC s saving ratio (GDS) increased from less than 20% (before 1970) to over 25% (mid 1970s) and stayed after CA deficit expanded from early 1970s (1%) to early 1980s (4-5%), and then shrank after the debt crisis (to 1-2% range) Except for the periods of Euro dollar circulation (mid 1970 to early 1980), LMIC s investment increases have been largely financed by their own saving increases 11

12 East Asia s saving ratio (GDS) increased from 22% to 32% in 1970s, and reached 37% before the AFC, supporting healthy increase in investment ratio CA deficit also expanded in 1990s till the AFC And then? 12

13 Separating the movements driven by the financial bubble that led to the AFC, what are the long-term trends in Asia? East Asia s Investment Needs Investment growth is expected to be strong because of the need to expand and upgrade existing infrastructure capacity, which was under severe strain as a result of rapid economic growth and urbanization before the AFC (ex. China, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam ). East Asia will also reconsider and increases its investment to rural areas and agriculture (ex. China, Thailand, Indonesia ) with the ongoing moves toward decentralization. The current post-crisis level of investment ratio (less than 30%) will recover to the pre-crisis level (close to 38%). Typical East Asian S I Pattern Higher growth raises the saving rate, which helps finance the increased investment associated with higher growth. Capital Inflows Capital inflows (FDIs in particular) will resume with the expansion of global production networks and with more liberalization in investments in infrastructure. This will be supported by cofinancing effects (more domestic investment). Although size does matter in infrastructure investment, the positive effects of FDIs will continue to be more eminent in quality (product and industry upgrades). Trade and FTAs Expanded trade and trade competition will upgrade East Asia s industrial/trade structure continuously, where positive effects of trade are more eminent in quality (productivity) rather than in quantity (size contribution to GDP and growth). 13

14 Is the Doomsday Imminent? Determinants of the private saving ratio: Income (level), rates of return, uncertainty, domestic/foreign borrowing constraints, financial depth, fiscal policy, pension system, income/wealth distribution, and demographics 14

23 Regionalization under Globalization There is a surge in the formation of regional arrangements in the 1990s, even with the successful completion of the Uruguay Round. New motives for new arrangements. Deep integration Safe haven Insurance Buy out Open regionalism can be conducive to free world. Developing countries can utilize regional arrangements to effectively negotiate in multilateral organizations such as the WTO. 23

28 The GTAP Model GTAP Web Site: The GTAP model is a multi-region multi-industry computable general equilibrium (CGE) model constructed over a database consisting of bilateral trade, transport, and protection data for economic linkages among countries/regions, and of input-output tables that represent intersectoral interactions within each country/region. Each industry is represented by a single homogeneous commodity. The model includes three factors of production: labor, capital, and land. Labor and capital are mobile across domestic sectors, while land is assumed to be used only in agricultural sectors. Capital is traded internationally like intermediate inputs, while labor and land are not mobile across borders. Microeconomics-oriented model with incentive structures of economic agents explicitly modeled. Global saving-investment identity is preserved. WTO, WB, USDA, and EPA are among the active users. For further details, refer to the papers,, and the GTAP web site. 28

A similarity indexpcgdp i pcgdp j that represents the Linder Hypothesis is not included in the current study so as to focus on trade complementarity given the flying geese pattern of Asian production and trade. 43

44 Index of Trade Complementarity: k j i (1) CMP 1 / 2 (0 CMPij 1) ij M = k M j X X k i where i is an exporting region, j is an importing region, and k represents goods categories. This index takes the value of one when a composition of import needs in an importing country matches perfectly with the export bundle of an exporting country. At the other extreme, where an export bundle of an exporting country has no relevance to the import needs of an importing country, the index takes the value of zero. 44

51 Trade, CAB, and BOP Stories III (CAB S I X M) Linking SI and XM Sides of CAB FDI and Trade Flows in the APEC Region Does FDI create trade flows? If so, in which direction? (Panel and Cross-Section Econometric Analyses) Impacts of Japanese FDI in Asia What would be the optimal strategies for supplier and host countries? (CGE Model Analyses) 51

52 A proper way to analyze the impacts of FDIs The majority of existing anti-fdi arguments are either non-economic such as the nationalist and dependence approaches, or economic but short-term, partial-equilibrium arguments such as the exporting employment, and balance of payments stories that focus on the flow aspects of FDI. FDI, as a micro phenomenon, should not be blamed for negative macro outcomes such as a worsening trade balance that in principle is a reflection of a country s savings-investment imbalance. By focusing, instead, on the analysis of medium- to long-term general equilibrium impacts (stock impacts) of FDI, this paper tried to capture the growth and welfare impacts of Japan s FDI in Asia. Stock impacts analyzed in this paper are: 1) a capacity and output expansion in the recipient economies in Asia, matched by a reduced capital stock in Japan (stock effects); 2) an increase in productivity through technology transfer and spillover (technology effects); and 3) an increase in domestic investment driven by a higher expected rate of return on investment and larger domestic savings (cofinance effects). Following the existing dichotomy in the theories of FDI those that assume perfect markets and the others based on imperfect markets simulations were conducted under both industrial structures. Simulation results replicated the traditional transfer problem in real resources, and showed that FDI was a positive-sum game. Larger gains were observed in the existence of scale economies. 52

55 Simulation Design Matrix Perfect Competition Monopolistic Competition Transfer of Capital Stock Simulation 1 Simulation 4 Transfer of Capital Stock & Technology Cofinance Joint Venture Simulation 2 Simulation 5 Simulation 3 Simulation 6 (on top of Simulation 2) (on top of Simulation 5) 55

56 Simulation 1: Transfer of Capital Stock under the Assumption of Perfect Competition (CRTS) A transfer of capital stock from Japan to nine developing Asian economies/regions (Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea, and Singapore) is emulated in order to assess the stock effects. Capital stock endowments of recipient Asian economies are augmented by 1 percent while Japan s capital stock is reduced by the amount equivalent to a total increase in the recipients capital stock. Without an accompanied technology transfer, there is no distinction between indirect investments and direct investments. International capital mobility is assumed. The savings rate is fixed. Simulation 2: Transfer of Capital Stock and Technology under the Assumption of Perfect Competition Production and managerial technologies accompany the transfer of capital stock. Assuming FDI flows to manufacturing sectors and there is resultant intra- and inter-industry technology spillover, the rate of technology growth is augmented in all seven manufacturing sectors (food & beverages, textiles, chemicals, metals, transport equipment, machinery, and other manufacturing) by 1 percent. Simulation 3: A Matching Increase in Capital Stock by Domestic Investment-Savings (Cofinance) Perceived higher rates of return in industrial activities with FDI inflows prompt domestic investors to mobilize domestic resources (savings) to cofinance the industrial projects. Recipient countries capital stock is further increased by an increment in domestic investment equivalent to the amount of the initial inflow of FDI. This simulation is conducted on top of Simulation 2 using the output file produced in Simulation 2. International capital flows are suppressed and the trade balance is fixed in order to force domestic savings to finance new domestic investment. The savings rate is thus endogenized on the marginal base. Simulation 4: Transfer of Capital Stock under the Assumption of Monopolistic Competition (IRTS) Transfer of capital stock (Simulation 1) is repeated, but this time, under an assumption of monopolistic competition with scale economies in all of the seven manufacturing sectors (food & beverages, textiles, chemicals, metals, transport equipment, machinery, and other manufacturing). International capital mobility is assumed. The savings rate is fixed. Simulation 5: Transfer of Capital Stock and Technology under the Assumption of Monopolistic Competition Transfer of capital stock and technology (Simulation 4) is repeated, except that monopolistic competition is assumed for the manufacturing sectors. Simulation 6: A Matching Increase in Capital Stock by Domestic Investment-Savings (Cofinance) Same as Simulation 3 except that the simulation is conducted under the assumption of scale economies and that the output file of Simulation 5 is used. International capital mobility is suppressed. The savings rate is endogenized. 56

61 Major strategic implications of the study for Japan (FDI-supplier) are: (1) In order to benefit from the positive-sum game of FDI, Japan (or any FDI-supplier) should also provide a conducive environment to attract inward FDIs. Outward FDI alone is not likely to improve domestic welfare (just like the case in international trade) unless it is driven by welfare-improving domestic causes. Also, two-way flows in a large number of countries should enlarge the positive sum of FDI. (2) In order for Japan (FDI-supplier) to avoid the possible secondary burden of a transfer of productive resources, it should also mobilize local savings by looking for local partners and/or raising local funds when executing FDIs. (3) It may be important to retain R&D facilities in the domestic market and preserve technology terms of trade if one supplies technology abroad along with capital. Looking at the results from Developing Countries (FDI-recipient) point of view: (1) Developing Asia should promote (call back?) inward-fdis. (2) Intra-APEC FDIs should promote their exports and mitigate BOP problems. (3) Technology (productivity) enhancement is the key. (3) Cofinancing (mobilizing domestic savings/investment together with inward-fdis) will increase recipient s welfare, even though it turns TOT slightly against the recipient. 61
