This paper assesses the implications of Chinese capital account liberalization for capital flows. Stylized facts from capital account liberalization in advanced and large emerging market economies illustrate that capital account liberalization has historically generated large gross capital in- and outflows, but the direction of net flows has depended on many factors. An econometric portfolio allocation model finds that capital controls significantly dampen cross-border portfolio asset holdings. The model also suggests that capital account liberalization in China may trigger net portfolio outflows as large domestic savings seek to diversify abroad.

This paper reviews the issues involved in moving towards greater exchange rate flexibility and capital account liberalization in China. A more flexible exchange rate regime would allow China to operate a more independent monetary policy, providing a useful buffer against domestic and external shocks. At the same time, weaknesses in China’s financial system suggest that capital account liberalization poses significant risks and should be a lower priority in the short term. This paper concludes that greater exchange rate flexibility is in China’s own interest and that, along with a more stable and robust financial system, it should be regarded as a prerequisite for undertaking a substantial liberalization of the capital account.

This is the third report stemming from the Pardee Center Task Force on Regulating Capital Flows for Long-Run Development, a project of the Global Economic Governance Initiative (GEGI) at Boston University.This report is the collective work of experts examining the benefits and risks of accelerated capital account liberalization in China. The contributing authors - all leading scholars and practitioners from around the world - met at Boston University in February 2014 to discuss the experiences of other emerging market countries that liberalized the capital account in the past to glean lessons for China as it considers this delicate task. This volume is an outcome from that meeting, presenting the authors' perspectives on important aspects of capital account liberalization that China should pay special attention to, not only for its own sake, but also in consideration of the potential impacts that China's actions may have on other emerging markets and the global economy overall.The co-chairs for this Pardee Center Task Force Report are Kevin P. Gallagher, co-director of GEGI; José Antonia Ocampo of the Initiative for Policy Dialogue (IPD) at Columbia University; and Ming Zhang and Yu Yonding of the Institute for World Economics and Politics (IWEP) at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. GEGI, IPD, and IWEP are co-sponsors of this report, and IWEP will oversee publication of a Chinese translation. The Pardee Center for the Study of the Longer-Range Future and the Center for Finance, Law & Policy at Boston University also provided support for this project.The first two reports of the Pardee Center Task Force on Regulating Capital Flows for Long-Run Development are available at www.bu.edu/publications-library. All three reports and other publications of the Global Economic Governance Initiative are available at www.bu.edu/gegi.

This paper considers the costs and benefits, if any, of short-term cross-border capital flows. It argues that short-term capital flows may be regulated with the introduction of a Tobin tax that applies to both inbound and outbound capital flows but not flows associated with current account transactions. It is shown that with such a Tobin tax, the “Impossible Trinity” becomes possible. Capital account convertibility for China and market determination of the exchange rate of the Renminbi may be accelerated if a Tobin tax is adopted and implemented.

After the Asian economic crisis, Asian countries saw the highs and lows of the costs and benefits of liberalization. When capital flows into a country it increases the invisible resources and catalyzes growth. But when a capital outflow takes place in une

When China joined the World Trade Organization in December 2001, it marked a watershed for the world economy. Ten years from now, the opening of China's capital account and the financial integration that will unfold will be viewed as a milestone of similar importance. This paper discusses the benefits, to China and the rest of the world, of deepening China's capital account liberalization. We assess China's current level of de jure and de facto integration, in relation to other G20 economies. We update the Pasricha et al. (2015) data on capital control actions to 2015 for China, to assess China's international financial integration. We also look at its relative international investment position to gauge its de facto integration. We then estimate the size and composition of capital flows likely to ensue assuming that China's further capital account liberalization results in its gross international investment position converging to that of the G20 average. In addition, we discuss the risks involved with the further opening of China's capital account and how they can best be managed. We also emphasize the potentially stabilizing effects of residents' flows and the importance of liberalizing inflows and outflows in a balanced way and at the same time.

China has experienced a remarkable transformation since the 1990s. It now boasts the second-largest — some would argue the largest — economy in the world, having evolved from a closed economy into the leading goods-trading nation. China’s economic rise has given it increasing prominence in international monetary and financial governance, but it also exposes China to new risks associated with its integration into the global financial system. Drawing insights from economics and political science, Enter the Dragon: China in the International Financial System takes a broad conceptual approach and tackles the questions that accompany China’s ascendance in international finance: What are the motivations and consequences of China’s effort to internationalize the renminbi? What is the political logic underlying China’s foreign financial policy? What forces have shaped China’s preferences and capacities in global financial governance? Enter the Dragon contributes to the ongoing debate over China’s political interests, its agenda for economic and financial cooperation, and the domestic and international implications of its economic rise. Bringing together experts from both inside and outside of China, this volume argues that China’s rise in the international financial system is a highly complex and political process, and can only be understood by incorporating analysis of domestic and international political economy.
