摘要
一国经常项目赤字只有获得足够资金支持才能维持,基于此文将美国经常项目赤字可持续性问题转化为能否稳定地获得外源性融资的问题。文章从供给和需求角度探讨了美国与东亚地区之间特殊融资安排的形成与稳定性问题,并用两种方法估计了美国经常项目赤字可持续的必要条件及调整的时间。本文认为国际金融体系下美元霸权和东亚地区内需不足导致了东亚地区的资金供给,美国消费主导型经济导致经常项目赤字进而引致资金的需求,供求之间能达到短期均衡。但是由于制度安排的缺陷,这种特殊的融资安排长期必然走向崩溃。届时美国赤字调整不可避免,中国应采取措施避免美国经常项目赤字调整带来的风险。
Current account deficits are sustainable only if it was adequately financed. Thereby, this paper translated the problem concerning sustainability of current account deficits into the issue of stability of external financing. Then, this paper discussed the special financing arrangement between East Asia and US, hence after, we further discussed the necessary conditions for the " sustainability" and timing of adjusting deficits. This paper held that East Asia becomes financial supplier because of dollar hegemony under current international financial system and insufficient domestic demand in East Asian countries, US becomes financial demander due to the consumption-led growth. The demand and supply can strike a balance in short run, but this special financial arrangement dooms to collapse for its institutional weakness, and US has to adjust its currents account deficits passively.
