2 . Inroducon Afer he creaon of he Euro n 999, Greece, Ireland, orugal, Span, and oher counres n he EU perphery ran szable curren accoun defcs. Ths was ofen accompaned by oupu and consrucon booms n hese counres, and by nflaon raes above he Euro Area average. In he wake of he global fnancal crss ( ), prvae capal flows o he perphery counres fell sharply, and a srong conracon n real acvy and house prces ensued. Ths paper provdes a quanave analyss of he on dynamcs of exernal capal flows and real acvy n Span, he larges of he Euro Area counres ha receved szable capal nflows afer he creaon of he Euro, and hen experenced a sudden sop. We do so usng a wo-counry New Keynesan Dynamc Sochasc General Equlbrum (DSGE) model conssng of Span and an aggregae of he res of he world (ROW). We esmae hs model usng quarerly daa, for Span and he ROW durng he perod 995Q-203Q2. The Spansh bloc of he model has a rch srucure ha allows us o capure he key feaures of he Spansh boom-bus cycle. In parcular, we assume a consrucon secor and a governmen secor; Spansh households and non-fnancal frms face collaeral consrans. The model assumes demand and supply shocks n goods, labor and asse markes, as well as nomnal prce and wage rgdes. We use he model as a laboraory for quanfyng he key drvers and ransmsson mechansms ha explan he dynamcs of he Spansh rade balance snce 995. The creaon of he Euro elmnaed nra Euro Area currency rsk and led o a convergence of Spansh neres raes o he lower neres raes n he res of he Euro Area. Compeng explanaons for he boom n he Spansh economy are loosenng cred condons and housng and sock marke bubbles. We fnd ha all hese facors fuelled a sharp rse n Spansh housng nvesmen and house prces, and ncreased he fragly of he balance shees of Spansh households and non-fnancal frms. Our esmaes sugges ha a large par of he buld-up n Spansh ne exernal deb afer he nroducon of he Euro can be arbued o posve shocks o foregn capal nflows. In he afermah of he global fnancal crss, a fall n house prces, a resurgence of he Spansh exernal neres rae spread, and a ghenng of collaeral consrans for households and frms, led o a sharp reducon n capal flows o Span, and a perssen fall n Spansh oupu and housng nvesmen. The fall n prvae See Kyoak and oore (997), Iacovello (2005), Iacovello and Ner (2008), Kollmann, Roeger and n Veld (202), Kollmann, Rao, Roeger and n Veld (203) and Kollmann (203). 2

3 capal nflows was a frs parly counerbalanced by a rse n publc capal nflows; however, publc capal nflows oo dred up when he Spansh soveregn deb crss eruped, n 200, followng he dramac deeroraon of he Spansh governmen balance due o he recesson. Our analyss hghlghs he key role of he housng marke for he ransmsson of exernal capal supply shocks o Spansh real acvy. Real house prces doubled beween 200 and 2007, and hen fell by abou 40% (2008-2). Ths rggered a severe fnancal crss, whch led o a sharp conracon of lendng o frms and households, and a rse n loan raes. The economc evens n Span (and oher European perphery counres) durng he pas 5 years are, n many respecs, remnscen of he boom-bus cycles accompaned by capal nflows and sudden sops experenced by many economes n Lan Amerca and Asa durng he 20 h cenury; see Calvo e al. (2004) for an emprcal overvew. The leraure on sudden sops uses hghly sylzed models; see, e.g., Calvo (998), endoza (200), Res (203) and Fornaro (203). y conras, he presen paper analyzes a boom-bus cycle lnked o nernaonal capal n- and ouflows, usng a fully-fledged esmaed DSGE model. Economc heory suggess ha a counry s CA reflecs domesc and foregn macroeconomc and fnancal shocks, and he srucural feaures of he domesc and foregn economes. Ths underscores he mporance of analyzng he CA usng a quanave dynamc general equlbrum model ha capures he relevan shocks, and her ransmsson o he macroeconomy. Several recen emprcal sudes have hghlghed he role of housng and cred markes for he dynamcs of he curren accoun (e.g., Azenman and Jnarak (203), Chnn e al. (203), European Commsson (202)). The paper here analyzes ha role usng an esmaed DSGE model. The presen paper s also relaed o a leraure ha analyzes curren accoun dynamcs usng DSGE models (e.g., Kollmann (998), Erceg e al. (2006), Gomes, Jacquno and san (202)); by conras o he paper here, ha leraure has ypcally used calbraed models (no esmaed), and has absraced from housng markes and he key fnancal frcons consdered n he presen model.

Dynamcs of he Spansh macroeconomy For mos of he decade up o 2007, GD growh n Span exceeded average growh n he Euro Area. u he fnancal and economc crss h Span severely, wh quarer-o-quarer annualzed growh raes fallng o almos -6% n he frs quarer of 2009; Span experenced a weaker recovery n 200- han he res of he Euro Area, and enered no a second-dp recesson n 202. Durng he boom years, all domesc demand componens grew faser han GD; hs was especally he case for nvesmen, and n parcular resdenal nvesmen (see Fg..e). y conras he Spansh consumpon-o-gd rao rose much less; ha rao averaged abou 60% before he crss (abou 4 pp. hgher han he Euro Area average), bu fell o 57.5% by 203 (see Fgure.b). The srong performance of nvesmen (especally n he consrucon secor) relave o oupu n he 2000s, coupled wh a subsanal ncrease n house prce n hs perod s suggesve of a housng bubble ha developed n Span pror o he crss. I s noceable ha house prces n real erms have shown some correcon snce her peak n 2007, bu had by 202 only fallen back a her 2003 levels. ror o he launch of he Euro (..999), Spansh nomnal neres raes had been markedly hgher han neres raes n he res of he Euro Area. The creaon of he Euro led o a rapd convergence of Spansh nomnal raes o Euro Area raes. Tha reducon n nomnal neres raes led o a sharp reducon n Spansh real neres raes, as Span experenced hgher nflaon han he res of he Euro Area, unl he fnancal crss, due o a srong expanson of aggregae demand. In fac, Spansh real neres raes were even negave beween 200 and Real neres raes rose o posve values n he mmedae afermah of he fnancal crss, bu were back o values near zero n recen years. The boom n domesc demand was accompaned by a srong deeroraon n he rade balance. Afer he second half of he 990s he Spansh economy moved from small rade surpluses o a very large rade defc of more han 7% of GD by 2007, and o even larger curren accoun defcs. The perssen rade defcs led o a srong rse n Span s ne foregn deb (from around 20% of GD n he lae 990s o more han 90% of GD by 2009). Snce he crss he Spansh rade defc has shrunk consderably, o close o balance by he end of 20, bu Span s ne nernaonal nvesmen poson remans around -90% of GD. efore he crss, Span s publc fnances were n beer healh han he Euro Area average. Spansh governmen balances mproved 4

The crss led o publc defcs peakng a % of GD n 2009, and have remaned subsanal snce hen. Tha deeroraon n he fscal poson reversed he rend declne n gross deb, whch had fallen o 36% of GD n 2007; publc deb ncreased rapdly o close o 90% of GD by he end of 202. The deb of he (non-fnancal) busness secor has also rsen sharply before he crss. The ousandng sock of loans o non-fnancal corporaons as % of GD doubled beween 2003 and 2009, from 45 o 90% of GD, and hen fell o 60% of GD. 3. odel descrpon [INCOLETE!] We consder a wo-counry model conssng of Span and he res of he world (ROW). 2 [In on-gong work, we exend he seng o a hree-counry world conssng of Span, he res of he Euro Area, and he res of he world.] Span produces radable goods whch are mperfec subsues o goods produced n he ROW.

In he conex of he curren crss, alernave explanaons could be gven for a sudden fall n asse prces. For example, an ncrease n H z, z could capure wha Goron (200) calls a "panc", o descrbe he uncerany abou he value of ceran asse classes whch have forced banks o delver and dump asses, leadng o fallng asse values. A rsng z could also capure wha Hall (200) refers o as "prncpal agen frcons", whch he models by nroducng an exogenous wedge shock beween safe (governmen bonds) and rsky asses (equy and houses) n order o emprcally mach rsng spreads beween safe and rsky asses.

Impulse response funcons In hs secon, we dscuss he dynamc effecs of shocks whch have played a promnen role for he boom and bus cycle of he Spansh economy. In parcular we look a fnancal shocks and rade shocks. Shock o housng rsk premum (house prce bubble), Fgure 2.a. A rse n he house prce drven by a fall n he housng rsk premum (posve housng bubble) ncreases resdenal nvesmen. Whle he shock leads households o shf expendure from consumpon o resdenal nvesmen, he shock booss aggregae demand, whch rases domesc nflaon; nally, hs reduces he domesc real neres rae (gven he weak response of he nomnal neres rae, due o moneary unon), whch also smulaes non-housng nvesmen. The rse n domesc absorpon rases domesc GD and employmen. The rade balance deeroraes perssenly--hs s also due o he loss of exernal compeveness ha resuls from hgher domesc nflaon. The rse n nflaon also leads o a real apprecaon (fall n he real exchange rae, n Fgure 2.a). 6

17 Shock o household loan o value rao, Fgure 2.b. A loosenng of household fnancng condons allows cred consraned households o ncrease boh consumpon and resdenal nvesmen, bu crowds ou non-resdenal nvesmen. Absorpon ncreases, whch leads o a rade balance deeroraon. Exernal rsk premum shock, Fgure 2.c. A permanen reducon of he exernal rsk premum leads o a perssen ncrease of all domesc demand componens. The expansonary effec s renforced n he shor run by he fall n he real neres rae caused by nflaonary pressure. ecause of a loss of prce compeveness and rsng domesc demand he rade balance urns srongly negave. I s however, mporan o noce ha, even hough here s a permanen reducon of he rsk premum, he effec on domesc demand s no permanen. Ths s bes llusraed n he case of resdenal nvesmen. The fall n he rsk premum lowers morgage raes, however because of a (land) consran for he supply of houses hs leads o an ncrease n house prces, whch evenually domnaes he capal cos effec and revers he resdenal nvesmen boom. Neverheless he demand expanson remans mporan over he medum erm and leaves he rade balance perssenly negave. Shock o frm loan-o-value rao (fnal goods secor), Fgure 2.d. A ghenng of frm fnancng condons leads o a emporary reducon of producve nvesmen, whch s only margnally offse by a rse n prvae consumpon and resdenal nvesmen. Ths ranslaes no an mprovemen n he rade balance (whch s however small compared o he drop n producve nvesmen). Shock o rsk premum on producve capal, Fgure 2.e. Effecs are very smlar o changes n frm fnancng condons. Shock o governmen consumpon, Fgure 2.f. An ncrease n governmen consumpon crowds ou prvae demand componens, mos noably producve nvesmen. However he ne demand effec remans posve, whch leads o an nal declne of he rade balance. 7

18 Shock o expor demand, Fgure 2.g. Fgure 2.g shows dynamc responses o a shf of preferences n favor of Spansh goods. Tha expor demand shock leads o a perssen ncrease n domesc GD. The resulng rse n domesc nflaon leads o a declne n he Spansh real neres rae, and hus he rse n expors does no crowd ou domesc demand. The shock only leads o a shor run rade balance mprovemen, because of opposng ncome and compeveness effecs. Spansh expor prce mark-up shock, Fgure 2.h. A negave shock o expor prces has a negave shor run effec on he rade balance (J curve effec) whch s followed by a more perssen mprovemen wh he rade balance. 6. Hsorcal shock decomposons The esmaed shocks can be used o provde a hsorcal decomposon of he daa (e.g., Chrsano e al, 2008). Fgures 3.a. 3.f. do hs for Spansh domesc demand componens (normalzed by GD) and he Spansh rade balance. To keep he analyss racable we only focus on he man shocks hghlghed, and group he conrbuon of all oher shocks no a resdual caegory referred o as "ohers". 8 Resdenal nvesmen (Fgure 3.a) Resdenal nvesmen was he man drver of he Spansh boom and bus cycle. The shock decomposon shows ha wo man shocks explan he resdenal nvesmen boom, namely negave shocks o he housng rsk premum (posve housng bubble), and a fall n he Spansh exernal neres rae spread. The laer only generaed a emporary ncrease n housng nvesmen. Ths s because he ncrease n house prces (due o land consran) sablze resdenal nvesmen. A prolonged boom n resdenal nvesmen can only be generaed by a housng bubble. Ineresngly, he shock esmaes sugges a ghenng of he loan-o-value rao for household morgages n he frs half of he 2000s; however, he ghenng was far from srong enough o compensae for he expanson of he collaeral value generaed by he bubble. We only 8 In he Fgures, he lne marked wh black damonds ndcaes observed daa. The caegory "ohers" combnes all oher shocks ncluded n he model (e.g. shocks o mark-ups) and ncludes he effecs of he nal condons. Dealed shock decomposons of oher varables ncl. employmen, un labour coss, real exchange and neres raes are avalable n he supplemenary appendx. 8

19 denfy a loosenng of he collaeral consran n he las years precedng he fall n resdenal nvesmen. Sarng n 2008, he housng bubble burss, and housng nvesmen (as a share of GD) declned srongly. The bursng of he bubble was accompaned by a ghenng of loan-ovalue raos. Consumpon (Fgure 3.b) Conrary o resdenal nvesmen, Spansh prvae consumpon has remaned relavely sable as a share of GD. Ths should no be nerpreed as f he facors drvng he resdenal nvesmen boom were unmporan for consumpon. Raher, he sably of he consumpon rao (whle resdenal nvesmen rose sharply) s due o rsng household deb. Ineresngly, he hsorcal decomposon shows ha he housng bubble conrbued negavely o prvae consumpon--everyhng else equal, he housng bubble would have led o a fall n consumpon (due o he srong rse n resdenal nvesmen rggered by he shock). However, hs effec was offse by he fac ha he fall n he Spansh neres rae spread allowed Spansh households o borrow more from he res of he world. Towards he end of he boom, a loosenng of loan-o-value raos sablzed he consumpon/gd rao. However, afer 2008 a collaeral ghenng ses n whch evenually reduces boh he consumpon and he resdenal nvesmen share Non-housng nvesmen (Fgure 3.c) roducve (non-housng) nvesmen ncreased as well from 996 onwards. A maor drver for hs was he declne n he Spansh neres rae spread whch lowered he borrowng capal coss for Spansh frms. As for household (morgage) loans, he esmaes sugges no loosenng of he collaeral consran facng frms durng mos of he boom, even a slgh ghenng. I s only owards he end of he boom ha he collaeral consran for frms s slghly loosened. In 202 he collaeral consran ghened agan. The nvesmen boom was also fuelled by low rsk premum for non-housng capal and by rsng employmen made possble by fallng wage mark ups. Accordng our resuls, he abrup declne of nvesmen durng he fnancal crss s assocaed wh a rse n he nvesmen rsk premum, a collapse n exernal demand and nsuffcen downward wage adusmen (whch amouned o a rse n he wage mark-up). Reduced lendng only played a mnor role. Unlke resdenal nvesmen, 9

20 durng he bus he producve nvesmen/gd rao dd no fall below he level reached n 999. Trade balance (Fgure 3.d) The facors drvng consumpon, resdenal nvesmen and producve nvesmen also shape he evoluon of he rade balance (see Fgure 3.d). The mos mporan drver of he rade balance unl 2008 was he declnng neres rae spread (whch ncreased all domesc prvae demand componens). Quanavely he housng bubble s less mporan for he rade balance because only sgnfcanly rases resdenal nvesmen, whch s a relavely small demand componen and even reduces prvae consumpon (va he households' budge consran) and non-resdenal nvesmen (va ncreasng neres raes). The collaeral ghenng for households and frms nally (early 2000s) had a posve nfluence on ne expors because of s negave nfluence on all domesc prvae demand componens. Anoher facor whch mproved he rade balance before 2008 was wage resran. Whle n he boom perod from 997 unl 2008 ne expors fell gradually, ne expors rose rapdly n he frs year of he fnancal crss, followed frs by a sablzaon a a hgher level, and hen by a furher noceable ncrease from 20 onwards. The nal rse was largely due o rade shocks, n parcular declnng mpor demand shocks. Household collaeral ghenng and a furher reducon of he rsk premum as well as fscal consoldaon were he man drvers whch have urned around he Spansh rade balance afer Our analyss suggess ha he correcon of he Spansh exernal mbalance was mosly due o deleveragng n he prvae secor and here largely he household secor as well as o publc deleveragng. There s a wde debae abou he role of srucural reforms for he rebalancng of he Spansh economy. In hs respec, we can dsngush fve possble measures of srucural adusmen, namely an mprovemen of echnology (from secoral resrucurng), labour marke reforms, fallng prce mark ups, fallng expor prce mark ups and ncreasng world marke shares. Our analyss suggess ha srucural reforms wll ake me unl hey have sgnfcan effecs. A leas up o he end of our sample perod, srucural goods and labour marke ndcaors are sll domnaed by negave afer effecs of he crss. The mos promsng srucural mprovemen seems o be a perssen rse n Spansh TF growh. For example he European Commsson esmaes an acceleraon of rend TF growh snce 2008 of around 0.2% p. a. However, sandard labour marke ndcaors such as NAWRU esmaes show rsng rends unl he end 20

21 of our sample perod. (Commsson esmaes an ncrease of he NAWRU from 5% (2009) o 2% n 202). Recenly, he Spansh cenral bank has repored prce mark-up esmaes whch show an ncrease from.2 (n 2008) o.3 (n 20) (see de Cos 203). These fndngs are roughly conssen wh our srucural shocks. There s a slgh posve effec of mproved producvy growh on he rade balance, however labour marke shocks exer a negave effec on he rade balance. We also denfy rsng mark-ups n he goods marke. Ths has offseng effecs on he rade balance va ncome and compeveness effecs and he ne mpac on he rade balance s slghly posve. Also rade shocks hemselves (e.g. fallng mark ups for expors, or ncrease n expors) have only played a mnor role over he recen perod. Ths should, however, no be msnerpreed, snce we only measure he mpac of shocks o expors and expor prces,. e. ncreases n marke share whch canno be explaned by a fall n he erms of rade or a fall n expor prces (fall n expor prce mark ups) whch canno be explaned by a fall n un labour cos. 7. Concludng remarks Ths paper has shown how an open economy DSGE model wh fnancal frcons and fnancal shocks can be used o analyses he drvng facors behnd nernal and exernal mbalances n he Spansh economy. Our esmaes sugges ha he key facors behnd hose mbalances were low real neres raes, lnked o he nflow of foregn capal, and a housng bubble. The perssence of he housng boom, whch s he mos noceable macroeconomc even n Span, can only be explaned by a perssen fall n housng rsk prema. Lendng o households and frms has accommodaed he growh n loan demand fuelled by he asse prce boom. The adusmen n he rade balance afer he fnancal crss s manly drven by he collapse n he housng bubbles, and a ghenng of lendng condons. The correcon of he rade balance reles mosly on a declne n domesc absorpon and a drop n mpors. The accompanyng deflaon and declne n un labour coss brng abou a furher deprecaon of he real effecve exchange rae. We fnd no srong evdence of excessve wage growh as a drver of he Spansh exernal mbalance durng he boom. Durng he Grea Recesson, he fall n house prces and ghenng cred condons have led o a gradual mprovemen of he rade balance--gher cred condons for households and fscal consoldaons are closely algned wh he rse n nex expors. Anoher facor conrbung posvely o he recen mprovemen n he rade balance s acceleraed TF 2
