摘要:
I show that accounting for foreign investor base differences helps explain the heterogeneous influence of the Global Financial Cycle on sovereign borrowing of emerging market economies. Using security-level data and a quantitative model featuring heterogeneous investors, stochastic debt default risk and global financial shocks, I investigate the two-way interaction between asset attributes and investor composition. Facing global financial tightening, sovereign bonds with a higher institutional ownership by foreign investment funds suffer a larger price drop. The willingness for long-term investors, including banks, insurance companies and pension funds, to act as shock absorbers, however, is limited by their higher propensities to hold safer, home-currency-denominated bonds. Leveraging my estimate of long-term investors’ demand elasticity, the model replicates the empirical relationship between foreign investor mix and sovereign yield spread sensitivity to global risk factors. Policy measures that encourage the participation of long-term foreign investors or limit the risk exposure of investment funds could substantially reduce the volatility of emerging markets’ borrowing cost.
