Abstract

Az Egyesült Államok fizetési mérlege nagy mértékű hiányt mutatott az utóbbi két évtizedben. Ez a folyamat jelentheti azt, hogy az ország a lehetőségein túl költ, de jelentheti azt is, hogy Amerika a „fellendülés oázisa”. Ez az esszé az amerikai fizetésimérleg- hiány fő okait elemzi, majd arra a kérdésre keresi a választ, hogy fenntarthatóe ez a deficit. Három dimenzióban mérlegel: 1. a nemzeti jövedelem- és a termékszámlákon alapuló hazai, 2. az áru- és szolgáltatásáramlásokon alapuló nemzetközi, valamint 3. a pénzügyi eszközök áramlásán és állományán alapuló nemzetközi síkon. Mindhárom megközelítés arra mutat rá, hogy ellentétben a világ sok országában mutatkozó fizetésimérleg-problémákkal, az amerikai helyzet több szempontból is megnyugtató az Egyesült Államok számára: a) az amerikai kötvények és részvények az egész világ kötvényeinek és részvényeinek hatalmas hányadát teszik ki, b) ezeket amerikai pénzben tartják számon, ami korlátozza a külföldi befektetők gyors kivonulási lehetőségét.* Journal of Economics Literature (JEL) kód: F21, F32, F34.
