- Determines the role of externally sourced output shocks in the evolution of ASEAN economies.
- Uses a SVECM framework.
- Determines whether US or Chinese sourced output shocks best represent external shocks.
- Despite China's growing importance US shocks remain the most representative of external shocks.
The contribution of international and domestic shocks to macroeconomic outcomes in Asian countries is of significant domestic policy importance. This paper applies a Structural Vector AutoRegressive (SVAR) model to Singapore, Thailand, the Philippines, Malaysia and Indonesia. We show the contribution of foreign shocks to domestic output and inflation outcomes, and assess whether Chinese shocks have a more pronounced effect than those originating from the US. The explanatory value of US shocks outweighs those from China, potentially reflecting the importance of US based end consumers.
