Based on the relation between investment and domestic saving proposed by Feldstein and Horioka (1980) to verify capital mobility, this study performs some exogeneity tests in order to determine the capacity of the FH equation of supporting and implementing economic policies in Brazil. We then...

This paper shows that the Feldsteins & Horioka (1980) test does not measure capital mobility, but just the variability between domestic and external savings. Furthermore, it concludes that the Coakley, Kulasi & Smith (1996) test for current account solvency, is a necessary, but not sufficient,...

This paper does some exogeneity tests in the equation proposed by Feldstein-Horioka (1980). The main finding is that domestic saving is super exogenous in the Feldstein-Horioka equation. That is, the Lucas critic does not applies

This article uses annual data for the Brazilian economy to verify the impact of the federal debt, government spending and government transfers on Brazilian capital stock and domestic savings. This framework can be viewed as a test of the Ricardian Equivalence Theorem. The most important result...
