Abstract

  • • Show the importance of classifying capital flow episodes, separating between foreign and domestic investor activities
  • • Understand the channels of transmission of capital waves and how they impact real economic activity and credit growth
  • • Show how changes in global risk shocks impact capital flow surges, sudden stop episodes, credit growth and real activity
  • • Demonstrate the significance of economic costs exerted by capital flow surges, sudden stops and capital flight and retrenchments
  • • Show costs associated with capital flows driven by domestic and foreign investor behavior.
  • • Examine the role of commodity prices and the exchange rate in amplifying credit growth based on the counterfactual scenarios
  • • Establish whether capital flow surges and sudden stop shocks lead to the reallocation of sectorial credit shares
