Comparison of Norway's CA and NFA in the Model and DataExporters of exhaustible resources have historically exhibited higher income volatility than other economies, suggesting a heightened role for precautionary savings. This paper uses a parameterized small open economy model to quantify the role of precautionary savings in economies with exhaustible resources, when the only source of uncertainty is the price of the exhaustible resource. Results show that the precautionary motive can generate sizable external sector savings. When aggregated over the sample countries, precautionary savings in 2006 add up to 3.2 percent of GDP. The quantitative importance of the precautionary motive varies considerably across the sample countries and is driven primarily by the weight of exhaustible resource revenues in future income. The parameterized model fares well at capturing current account balances in both cross-section and time-series data.IMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;No. 2009/033Saving and investmentMathematical modelsNonrenewable natural resourcesEconometric modelsExports and ImportsimfMacroeconomicsimfNatural ResourcesimfNonrenewable Resources and Conservation: GeneralimfMacroeconomics: ConsumptionimfSavingimfWealthimfCurrent Account AdjustmentimfShort-term Capital MovementsimfEnvironmental managementimfInternational economicsimfNon-renewable resourcesimfPrecautionary savingsimfCurrent accountimfConsumptionimfCurrent account balanceimfNatural resourcesimfSaving and investmentimfBalance of paymentsimfEconomicsimfNorwayimfSaving and investmentMathematical models.Nonrenewable natural resourcesEconometric models.Exports and ImportsMacroeconomicsNatural ResourcesNonrenewable Resources and Conservation: GeneralMacroeconomics: ConsumptionSavingWealthCurrent Account AdjustmentShort-term Capital MovementsEnvironmental managementInternational economicsNon-renewable resourcesPrecautionary savingsCurrent accountConsumptionCurrent account balanceNatural resourcesSaving and investmentBalance of paymentsEconomicsBems Rudolfs1493466de Carvalho Filho Irineu1485160DcWaIMFBOOK9910788347603321Current Account and Precautionary Savings for Exporters of Exhaustible Resources3716527UNINA
