* Sample is Industrial Countries, with exception of Iceland. 1990-98 averaged data. In panel A,
dependent variable is the real interest rate; in panel B, dependent variable is real interest
differential vis-à-vis the US. In regressions (1)-(2), CUMCA is employed as measure of NFA; in
regressions (3)-(4) it is based on fitted value from regression of NFA on GDP per capita, public
debt and demographic variables. In regressions (2) and (4), multivariate real exchange rate is
employed in panel A and bivariate real exchange rate vis-à-vis the US in panel B. * (**) indicates
statistical significance at the 5% (1%) confidence level.
