Exploring the effects of capital mobility on the saving–investment nexus:evidence from Icelandic historical data
We explore the effects of capital mobility on the relationship between saving and investment using historical data for Iceland. First, we analyse the saving–investment (S-I) correlation for the period of restricted capital mobility using data from 1960 and 1994. We then add a period of free capital...
