This study explores how capital flows influence the trade balance, focusing on the implications of policy changes such as the elimination of quotas in 2005. Through a baseline versus policy simulation, we analyze the relationship between savings, investments, exports (X), and imports (M) and how changes in capital inflows affect trade balance metrics. It highlights findings related to net transfers and capital earnings that contribute to the trade balance improvements post-WTO accession for China and Taiwan, particularly in the textile sector.

How do capital flows affect trade balance? • Baseline vs. Policy simulation (Quotas eliminated in 2005) • S – I = X - M + Net Transfer • Trade balance: X –M DTBALR

Change in Saving and investment (yr on yr difference) • S – I = X - M + Net Transfer • Initial investment inflow results in deterioration of trade balance, relative to baseline
Changes in Net Transfer (yr on yr difference) • S – I = X - M + Net Transfer • Increased capital earnings payments to trust require subsequent improvement in trade balance, relative to balance
