摘要:The high corporate savings rate in China has been commonly claimed to be an important driver of the country's large current account surplus. We propose a new hypothesis in this paper that, trade liberalization can lead to a rise in corporate savings. In a model with firm heterogeneity, we show that exporters raise save more after trade liberalization which in turn leads to a higher economy-wide corporate savings. We also provide empirical evidence to support our theoretical predictions.
