| Tiivistelmä: | This paper proposes a new way of investigating the international integration of capital markets. In a stochastic neoclassical growth model with representative agents, perfect international capital markets result in the divergence of per capita consumption across countries. If instead the countries lack representative-agent economies with unrestricted access to international capital markets, per capita consumption does not diverge. Divergence of per capita consumption cannot be rejected across the countries most likely to have had unrestricted access to international capital markets: Canada, the UK and the US. By contrast, divergence of per capita consumption is strongly rejected across nineteen other industrial countries. |
