International capital flows arise from; the efforts of risk-averse households situated in different countries to; self-insure against random productivity fluctuations. We establish the; existence of a rational expectations equilibrium in which the world; interest rate is constant and strictly less than the rate of time; preference of the least impatient countries. The rate of time preference; solvency restrictions on borrowing, and balanced-budget fiscal policies are; rigorously analyzed UR - https://www.nber.org/papers/w1944 UR - http://dx.doi.org/10.3386/w1944 ER -
