Macroeconomic Determinants

<p>This work aims to assess the various macroeconomic determinants of migrants’ remittances for a panel of 22 developing countries highly dependent observed over the period 1990 to 2014. The results underline the importance of the origin country’s GDP, the host country’s GDP, inflation, financial development and institutional quality as major determinants of personal remittances. However, the migrant stock, the official exchange rate and the real interest rate in the country of origin do not have a significant influence on remittances received by the panel considered.</p>

Expert Practice

Based on expert practice, the article analyzes main questions that experts are asked to solve when forensic economic examinations are commissioned in order to study documents on financial and credit transactions. The article provides a detailed consideration of problems that are connected with determining the total cost of the credit and calculation of the real interest rate for the use of credit resources, as well as the methods to calculate and use the floating interest rate when the credit agreement is concluded. It analyzes the most important tasks that experts solve in the course of the studies on the abovementioned questions. The article provides normative acts that regulate the order for disclosing information on the total cost of credit resources when credit agreements are concluded, the order for the formation of the floating interest rate. It considers problematic aspects of conducting examinations of documents on financial and credit transactions and offers proposals on amending and updating the array of methods in this area of research.

The Interest Rate

Lowering the policy interest rate could stimulate consumption and investment while discouraging people from saving. However, such a move may also prompt people to save more to compensate for the low rate of return. Using the data of 135 countries from 1995 to 2014, we show that a low interest rate environment can yield different effects on private saving under different economic environments. The real interest rate affects private saving negatively if output volatility, old-age dependency, or financial development is above a certain threshold. Depending on a country’s specific economic circumstances, these effects are significant for the economy — a four-percentage point decline in the real interest rate, which is approximately the same as one standard deviation for China, would lead to a 1.52 percentage point increase in the Chinese private saving rate. Further, when the real interest rate is below 1.1%, greater output volatility would lead to higher private saving in developing countries.
