Country Risk, Exchange Rates and Economic Fluctuations in Emerging Economies Luis Felipe Céspedes Roberto Chang Central Bank of Chile Rutgers University & NBER September 2009 Luis Felipe Céspedes Roberto Chang Country Risk, Exchange Rates and Economic Fluctuations in Emerging Economies 1 / 34

Introduction: Interest Rates and Macroeconomic Fluctuations 1 In emerging economies, output and the cost of foreign borrowing move in opposite directions (Neumeyer-Perri, 2004) 2 In contrast, in advanced economies the real interest rate is acyclical or mildly procyclical Thus, for emerging economies, foreign credit becomes more expensive when they need it the most Luis Felipe Céspedes Roberto Chang Country Risk, Exchange Rates and Economic Fluctuations in Emerging Economies 2 / 34

The Role of Risk Premia Much of the action in interest rates is due to movements in country spreads (Neumeyer & Perri, 2004; Uribe & Yue, 2004) And indeed, higher spreads are associated with lower output Luis Felipe Céspedes Roberto Chang Country Risk, Exchange Rates and Economic Fluctuations in Emerging Economies 5 / 34

Australia versus Chile: Nice Case Studies Interest rates are procyclical in Australia & countercyclical in Chile High interest rates are associated with real exchange rate appreciation in Australia & depreciation in Chile Luis Felipe Céspedes Roberto Chang Country Risk, Exchange Rates and Economic Fluctuations in Emerging Economies 8 / 34

Our Conjecture in a nutshell Net worth effects and the currency composition of debts may imply that aggregate demand responds very differently to exchange rate fluctuations in advanced economies vis a vis developing ones Luis Felipe Céspedes Roberto Chang Country Risk, Exchange Rates and Economic Fluctuations in Emerging Economies 9 / 34

Our Strategy We develop a model of the joint determination of 1 Interest rates 2 Spreads 3 Exchange Rates 4 Business cycle fluctuations which is consistent with the facts just discussed Leading examples are Céspedes, Chang & Velasco (2004); Gertler, Gilchrist & Natalucci(2003) and Devereux, Lane & Xu(2004) With respect to CCV, we extend the model to confront some these data quantitatively so that it is useful for actual policy analysis Luis Felipe Céspedes Roberto Chang Country Risk, Exchange Rates and Economic Fluctuations in Emerging Economies 10 / 34

The Model A version of CCV (2004) Small open economy populated by workers and entrepreneurs Final (consumption and investment) goods are aggregates of home produce and imports No nominal rigidities capitalists borrow in the world market subject to agency problem Luis Felipe Céspedes Roberto Chang Country Risk, Exchange Rates and Economic Fluctuations in Emerging Economies 11 / 34

The Model Domestic Production Y t W t L t R t K t = AKt α L 1 α t = (1 α)p t Y t = αp t Y t Luis Felipe Céspedes Roberto Chang Country Risk, Exchange Rates and Economic Fluctuations in Emerging Economies 12 / 34

The Model Capital Production Production function for new capital K t+1 = Γ (K t, I t ) so the price of installed capital is given by Qt I = Qt K Γ 2 (K t, I t ) Luis Felipe Céspedes Roberto Chang Country Risk, Exchange Rates and Economic Fluctuations in Emerging Economies 13 / 34

The Model Financial Frictions As BGG (2000) foreign borrowing is subject to a costly state verification problem The typical entrepreneurs flow budget constraint is P t N t + S t D t = Q K t K t+1 Luis Felipe Céspedes Roberto Chang Country Risk, Exchange Rates and Economic Fluctuations in Emerging Economies 14 / 34

The Model The return to investment is equal to the cost of funds, inclusive of risk premium [ ( E t Kt+1 Rt+1 + Pt+1 K ) ] /St+1 Qt K = (1 + ρ t+1 ) (1 + η t+1 ) K t+1 /S t Luis Felipe Céspedes Roberto Chang Country Risk, Exchange Rates and Economic Fluctuations in Emerging Economies 15 / 34

The Model The risk premium is increasing on the ratio of total investment to net worth ( ) Q K (1 + η t+1 ) = Ψ t K t+1 P t N t Luis Felipe Céspedes Roberto Chang Country Risk, Exchange Rates and Economic Fluctuations in Emerging Economies 16 / 34

The Model And (aggregate) net worth is given by the return to past investment minus debt service (inclusive of bankruptcy costs) ] P t N t = ν [(1 φ t )(R t + Pt K )K t (1 + ρ t )S t D t Luis Felipe Céspedes Roberto Chang Country Risk, Exchange Rates and Economic Fluctuations in Emerging Economies 17 / 34

The Model Workers They can borrow and lend at the prevailing world interest rate Endogenous Time Preference as in Mendoza (1991) Luis Felipe Céspedes Roberto Chang Country Risk, Exchange Rates and Economic Fluctuations in Emerging Economies 18 / 34

The Model Parametrization We calibrate the model to data from Chile and Australia Differences (main) 1 A key difference is µ: elasticity of risk premium w.r.t. the ratio (0.12 for Chile & 0.06 for Australia) Investment NetWorth 2 Share of imported goods in the production of investment goods (50% in Chile and 25% in Australia) Luis Felipe Céspedes Roberto Chang Country Risk, Exchange Rates and Economic Fluctuations in Emerging Economies 19 / 34

Uncertainty shocks Uncertainty plays a key role in recent financial turmoil. But most in general, uncertainty affects risk premium in a business cycle frequency Considering role of uncertainty is important to understand role of financial frictions (Christiano et al) We use Bernanke, Gertler, Gilchrist (1999) to introduce uncertainty in a financial accelerator model.
