Page 2: Push factors and capital flows to EMs: Why knowing your ...€¦ · Why knowing your lender matters more than fundamentals ... - Better macro fundamentals do reduce sensitivity

MOTIVATION: Common wisdom on Capital Flows to EMs

• Capital inflows to EMs co-move due, at least partly, to push factorsCalvo et al. (1993, 1996), Chuhan, Claessens, and Mamingi (1998), Fratzscher (2012), Forbes and Warnock (2012), Rey (2013).

• Main push factors: U.S. monetary policy, the supply of global liquidity (especially in U.S. dollars), and global risk aversion –although importance varies across studies

• Impact of these push factors vary across EMs, but research conflicts on how and why

- Some say fundamentals matter (good / bad /neither): Ghosh et al. (14)

- Better macro fundamentals do reduce sensitivity: Prachi et al. (14), Ahmed et al. (14) versus Better macro fundamentals do not reduce sensitivity: Aizenman et al. (14), Eichengreen and Gupta (14)

Page 3: Push factors and capital flows to EMs: Why knowing your ...€¦ · Why knowing your lender matters more than fundamentals ... - Better macro fundamentals do reduce sensitivity

MOTIVATION: Three reasons to reexamine common wisdom

1. Some facts: “Counter-intuitive” capital movements during the Taper Tantrum, with “better” countries affected more.

2. Recent research: little (or counter-intuitive) discrimination across EMs by global investors (such as global funds) during in- and outflows (Jotikastira et al, JF ‘12, Raddatz and Schmukler, JIE ‘12, IMF GFSR, ‘15). Some evidence also for global banks (Cetorelli & Goldberg ‘12, Cerutti & Claessens ’14, Bruno & Shin, ‘15)

3. Previous studies shortcomings:⇒ focused mostly on dynamics of prices (rather than flows) to recipient markets

and short-lived episodes of stress.⇒ General shortcoming of the typical panel regression w/ observed proxies

We revisit how common factors (differentially) impact EMs using:⇒ BOP gross inflows to 34 EMs between 2000 and 2013.⇒ A new methodology relying on latent factors to measure co-movement.

Page 4: Push factors and capital flows to EMs: Why knowing your ...€¦ · Why knowing your lender matters more than fundamentals ... - Better macro fundamentals do reduce sensitivity

FOUR KEY QUESTIONS AND RESULTS

1. Do we really observe co-movement in gross inflows to EMs? YES, BUT

• Gross inflows to EMs do co-move, but much heterogeneity across asset classes

• Equity, Bond and OI-Bank flows co-move - not FDI and OI-Non Bank

2. If yes, what is driving this EM dynamic? PUSH, BUT VARIES BY FLOWS• Push factors in core countries explain EM common dynamic but their importance varies

across type of flows

3. Who is more sensitive? MUCH HETEROGENEITY• Some countries very sensitive across all assets (e.g., Brazil, Indonesia, Turkey, etc), others

to particular assets (e.g., India to Equity; Mexico to Bonds).

4. Why more sensitive? NOT FUNDAMENTALS• Market characteristics rather than institutional/macro fundamentals• Liquidity and composition of the foreign investor base (reliance on international funds

and global banks)

Page 5: Push factors and capital flows to EMs: Why knowing your ...€¦ · Why knowing your lender matters more than fundamentals ... - Better macro fundamentals do reduce sensitivity

KEY CONTRIBUTIONS1. Estimates co-movement in flows across EMs by type

• Disaggregate gross inflows: assets do not all co-move, respond differently to various push factors, with very heterogeneous effects across, even within a single country.

• Use of latent factors helps to better capture “true” co-movement

=> Qualifies generalizations about the drivers of capital inflows to EMs

2. Qualifies the role of fundamentals in explaining EMs response to AE conditions

• Episodes of surges/retrenchments sometimes found to be at odds with fundamentals

• Recent literature on the pro-cyclical behavior of international investors (funds, banks)⇒Knowing your lender, and its mandate/incentives/constraints matters more

3. Adds to policy debate

• Helps to identify which country is more sensitive to core countries’ conditions (and through which BOP component)

=> Watch your lender5

Page 6: Push factors and capital flows to EMs: Why knowing your ...€¦ · Why knowing your lender matters more than fundamentals ... - Better macro fundamentals do reduce sensitivity

HOW DO WE GET THERE ? – 5 STEPS

1. Collect gross inflows from BOP (total & by type of flow)

Sample: 2001-2013, 34 countries, quarterly frequencyFlows: - % GDP , 5 sub-categories

- FDI, Portfolio Equity, Portfolio Bond, OI-Bank, OI-Non Bank

2. Estimate a (latent) factor model to break flows into global, regional and idiosyncratic components

Kose et al. (IBC: world, regional and country-specific factors, AER 2003) - Bayesian Estimation

Page 7: Push factors and capital flows to EMs: Why knowing your ...€¦ · Why knowing your lender matters more than fundamentals ... - Better macro fundamentals do reduce sensitivity

METHODOLOGY

- We estimate the following latent factor model for each type of flows:

Same methodology as in Kose et al. (2003, AER)

- Key Assumptions:

- Factors follow AR processes => dynamic latent factor model

- Factors are orthogonal to each other

- Regional decomposition:- 4 regions: LatAm, Asia, Emerging Europe, MEA

- Estimation:- Data augmentation to estimate parameters and factors (Gibbs sampling)

- Same priors as Kose et al. (2003) – others yield almost identical results

- Posterior distribution properties (parameters, factors) based on 200,000 MCMC replications and 20,000 burn-in replications

HOW DO WE GET THERE – 5 STEPS

3. Recover the common factor (total & by type of flow)

=> Question 1

4. Relate the common EM factors to observables (total & by type of flow)

=> Question 2

5. Measure and explain factor sensitivities “beta”

=> Question 3 and 43. Show the dispersion in across countries4. Explain betas by running a horse race between Fundamentals (Macro & Institutional) versus Market (Destination and Source) characteristics

ANSWER 1: CO-MOVEMENT IN INFLOWS VARIES

- Commonalities in Equity, Bond and Bank flows but not in FDI and OI-Non Bank

- Commonality in factors captures key events (Lehman, Euro, Taper Tantrum)

corr equity-bond = 0.53corr bank-bond = 0.6corr equity-bank = 0.29

ANSWER 2: WHAT IS DRIVING THE EM DYNAMIC ?We run the following regression for total flows and flows by type:

Key results: • Most push factors significant in total flow, but importance greatly varies

across types (Commodity prices most significant pull factor)• Using all push factors is far from capturing true extent of co-movement

ANSWER 4: WHY MORE SENSITIVE? FUNDAMENTALS LESS, MARKETS MORE

Key question: Why do some countries always gain (or lose) more flows when conditions in AE change?

Approach: we regress the for each asset on the following variables:• Fundamentals

• Macro: Public Debt, Growth, Trade openness, Reserves/GDP, FX regime

• Institutions: Law and order, Investor protection, Political risk

• Market Structure Characteristics • Openness, Size, Liquidity, Foreign Investor Base Composition

ROBUSTNESS 1

• Estimated Betas do not only reflect the Global Financial Crisis, but also Taper Tantrum, so something more structural

SUMMARY AND POLICY IMPLICATIONS

• Sensitivity of EMs to push factors is more about financial market characteristics/conditions than about (institutional) fundamentals – Still Fundamentals matter in general .

• Consistent with:• More micro-based evidence on mutual funds investing internationally

(Raddatz and Schmukler, 2012)

• Banking flows evidence (Bruno and Shin, 2015)

• Implications: Need to monitor lenders/investors

• P.S. Sensitivity per se does not mean high macroeconomic risks• High sensitivity is problematic if flows are macro-relevant

• Other factors might amplify (or dampen) the price effect of a high sensitivity (ex: Malaysia) 22

DATA AND SOURCES

Capital Flows: focus on gross inflows, i.e. transaction by non-residents, which can be positive or negative. Three types of data:

- BOP Capital Inflows (gross inflow as % of GDP, total and by component) Source: IFS- Global Bank Flows (inflows as % of GDP) Source: BIS LBS- Mutual Fund Flows (inflows as % of GDP) Source: EPFR

Push/Pull Factors (Real GDP growth, US VIX, US Yield curve, etc)

Macroeconomic and Institutional fundamentals (Trade openness, Public Debt, Rule of Law, Investor Protection, etc.)

Market Characteristics (Foreign openness, Market capitalization, MSCI EM, EMBI EM, etc.)

ANSWER 2: WHAT IS DRIVING THE EM DYNAMIC VARIES•Most push factors significant in Total EM common flow dynamics

•But, importance greatly varies across types

- REER significant for bank and bond

-VIX significant for bond and equity

- Slope of yield curve significant for equity

•Commodity prices most significant pull factor

•Type factors not reflected in total aggregate but in components

ANSWER 2: WHAT IS DRIVING THE EM DYNAMIC VARIES

• EM common dynamic explained mostly by push factors in core countries • The relative importance of push factors varies across type of flows• Pull variables somewhat more important for bond and bank flows (but as

function of commodity prices, so not really an EM internal driver)• Some other type-specific factors play minor roles for disaggregated flows
