ABSTRACT

A plethora of researches has been undertaken to study the validity of the Feldstein Horioka (FH) Puzzle. However, divergent views continue to persist in the FH Puzzle literature. This study explores the empirical validity of the FH puzzle in the case of South Asian countries using Annual data from 1960-2017. Both panel data approach and Markov switching regression approach are used to empirically analyse the FH puzzle. The results of the cointegration test confirm the long run associationships between saving and investment in the selected South Asian countries. The results of Markov switching regression confirms the saving retention coefficient has shifted from high to low values and also from low to high values. Thus, the FH Puzzle exists for a particular time period and mostly depends on the regime shifts in the South Asian countries. The results of panel FMOLS and DOLS methods also confirms that FH puzzle holds for the South Asian countries. Therefore, the study suggests any saving promotion policies are desirable for enhancing investment among the South Asian regions.
