Abstract

In this survey, the perfect capital mobility has been examined on the basis of saving incidence on gross capital formation in selected Asian countries during (2005-2012). For this aim, panel data based on generalized method of moments (GMM) is used to examine the model. The empirical results show that investment and savings changes are aligned in these countries and there is a positive relationship between them. According to empirical results, one percent rise in saving will increase investment by 0.03 percent. So, assumption of perfect immobility of capital is not rejected in this survey. Despite the fact that imperfect capital mobility can decrease the effect of global economy volatility on domestic economy, but still effectiveness and efficiency of macroeconomic fiscal policy should be considered. According to traditional method of Mundell-Fleming, not only exchange rate system can influence the degree of macroeconomic fiscal policy effectiveness, but also capital mobility can be effective too. So, strengthing the legal infrastructure of foreign capital absorbtion and assurance, and domestic financial market development and reducing foreign investment risk can be effecive in incresing the degree of capital mobility.
