摘要

This paper examines the cyclical behavior of international reserves and its implications for macroeconomic stability. A small openeconomy model shows how countercyclical international reserves (CCIR) arise and how their effectiveness depends on exchange rate flexibility. Using data for 179 countries from 1972–2022, we document that CCIR are uncommon, vary sharply across periods, and became more prevalent among emerging economies after the Asian financial crisis. Most importantly, CCIR reduce output volatility only under de facto flexible exchange rate regimes, where reserves can be deployed for macroeconomic stabilization rather than currency defense. These findings clarify the conditions under which CCIR management operates effectively and help reconcile competing views on international reserves, exchange rate flexibility, and macroeconomic stability.
