Beyond Global Imbalances: Gross capital flows and the role of Shadow Banking
Václavíček, Tomáš ; Teplý, Petr (advisor) ; Jakubík, Petr (referee)
This study provides an empirical analysis of Shadow banking as a factor influencing cross- border financial flows. It builds upon emerging literature on Shadow banking and empirical literature on global imbalances and global financial flows. The aim of the thesis is to test three hypotheses, which relate global financial flows to lending, change in cross-border bank liabilities, and shadow banking, respectively. The second and third hypotheses are tested on gross capital flows, which, in contrast to net flows, better reflect financing activities. The results suggest that Shadow banking activities are related to higher gross capital flows in periods, when this sector is growing. These flows, however, tend to dry up when Shadow banking activities level off or decline. Among other important factors is the output growth differential and global risk aversion.

The analysis of the relations in terms of balance of payments is presented in the second chapter. The current account relations are assessed in the first part of the second chapter with the focus on domestic savings, investment, processing trade and effect of the Chinese monetary policy on mutual relations. The second part of the thesis deals with financial account matters, especially with Chinese build-up of the foreign exchange, American federal debt and character of the investment that flows between the USA and China.
