论文摘要:
This paper incorporates global banks into a two-country DSGE model to study the conduct of monetary and capital account policies in emerging economies in the presence of cross-border bank lending. In the model, global banks borrow and lend with cross-border financial contracts subject to financial frictions. With cross-border bank lending, international business cycles become more synchronised and volatility in emerging economies increases in response to global TFP shocks and risk shocks in global banks. Welfare is lower with cross-border lending, regardless of the exchange rate regime, but the losses are smaller under a flexible exchange rate than a peg. Temporary capital controls can mitigate the negative impacts of global shocks for both exchange rate regimes by alleviating the common lender effect.
