Abstract

This paper examines the statistical nature of the persistency of current account balances and its determinants. With the assumption that stationary current account series ensures the long-run budget constraint while countries may experience “local non-stationarity” in current account balances, the authors examine the dynamics of current account balances across a panel of 70 countries.
