Abstract
⺠We perform a capital flow accounting exercise using the neoclassical growth model. ⺠The standard model is slightly extended to account for investment risk. ⺠This extension explains the positive correlation between capital outflows and growth. ⺠The capital wedge (distortions on the return to capital) is key to obtain this result. ⺠Global imbalances can be explained by the relatively low capital wedge in Asia.
