Description
Summary:This paper extends recent work by Feldstein and Horioka (1980) and Bayoumi (1990), and examines saving-investment correlations for industrial countries in the post-war period.

It is seen that the EMS countries exhibit much lower saving-investment correlations than their non-EMS counterparts. This result supports the hypothesis that exchange rate stability achieved in the EMS has been an important factor in promoting international capital mobility.
