Cuenta corriente y restricción presupuestaria intertemporal : un contraste de la viabilidad del financiamiento externo

Abstract

This paper proposes an econometrical specification to contrast the external financing viability, derived from the intertemporal current account approach and the non-stationary time series analysis. Specifically, it discusses an strategy that allows to overcome the eventual inconsistency of cointegration analysis amongst processes I (1) in presence of multicointegration. The proposed methodology exceeds precedent works (Leachman and Francis, 2000) since it relaxes the stationarity assumption of the commercial balance and incorporates the net foreign assets dynamics into the discussion around the empirical validity of the intertemporal budget constraint.
