We find that less than half of the retired elderly in Europe are decumulating their wealth and that the average wealth accumulation ...

We then explore three possible causes of the trade imbalances, which are the fiscal channel, the investment channel and the ...

Solving the Feldstein-Horioka Puzzle With Financial Frictions [PDF]
Unlike the prediction of a frictionless open economy model, long-term average savings and investment rates are highly correlated across countries—a puzzle first identified by Feldstein and Horioka (1980). We quantitatively investigate the impact of two types of financial frictions on this correlation.

TRADE COSTS, TRADE BALANCES AND CURRENT ACCOUNTS: AN APPLICATION OF GRAVITY TO MULTILATERAL TRADE [PDF]
In this paper we test the well-known hypothesis of Obstfeld and Rogoff (2000) that trade costs are the key to explaining the so-called Feldstein-Horioka puzzle. Our approach has a number of novel features. First, we focus on the interrelationship between
