Abstract
We first illustrate that emerging markets (EMs) face a shortage of financial assets, with financial assets not growing as rapidly as domestic savings. An estimation to quantify the asset shortage in EMs for 1995–2008 is then undertaken. A theoretical model is developed to explain why asset shortages occur. We then econometrically estimate the causes of asset shortages, and conclude with policy implications.
