Analyzing International Capital Flows between Developing and Developed Countries Using a Two-Country Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium (DSGE) Model under Asymmetric Information Structure

In this study, in order to investigate the different forms of capital flow between developing and developed countries in the steady state, a two-country dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) model, under asymmetric information, is developed. For simulating countries, the parameters of previous studies are used. The results showed that there is high correlation between the two groups of countries so that a shock in one country changes the production and consumption in the other one. In addition, international risk sharing and consumption smoothing is the most important factor shaping the international capital flows. Although, due to the high marginal production of capital, capital inflows into the developing country are in the form of stocks and direct investments. Because of the international risk-sharing and consumption smoothing, capital outflows are in the form of bonds and foreign reserves. In addition, when there is asymmetric information between the economic agents of the two countries about the productivity shocks of each country, capital inflows and outflows in the steady-state will be decreased.
