Abstract We show that constraints on using leverage for foreign positions can act as an international investment barrier. Guided by an international CAPM with leverage constraints, we use observed stock prices to measure the variation in the magnitude and the implicit cost of such cross-border funding barriers. Our measure helps explain the dynamics of global market integration and, in particular, its reversals documented in the literature, but not explained by other international investment barriers. We confirm our results using alternative financial integration measures, international capital flows, and institutional portfolio holdings.

A simple asset pricing model is developed to take into account two important characteristics in global investments: market segmentation and noise trader risk. Our results show the removal of international investment barriers and cross-border listings have not led to a fully integrated international capital market. We also show that different degree of investor rationality across borders induces an additional component of risk premium which is related to the "noise spill-over effect".

The pattern of international capital flows has changed dramatically in the process of globalization. In this study, we argue that human capital (HC) facilitates a region’s reversal from being a net recipient of external resources to being an active contributor in the global market. Using a panel vector autoregressive regression method, we examine the relationships among regional HC, foreign direct investment (FDI), and outward FDI during 2004–2015 in China. Our results show that HC plays a key role in both attracting FDI and generating outward FDI. The findings contribute to research on the dynamic capacity building of regions participating in the global economy, especially strengthening HC for local economies participating in the global economy as either investment recipients or contributors.

Financial Safety Net

This paper argues that there is a role for regional-level institutions of banking regulation in the ASEAN region. This is particularly important in an environment of increasing financial integration and harmonization, including exposures to shocks from volatile capital flows and cross-border banking institutions. The paper examines four aspects of financial regulation: microprudential regulation, macroprudential regulation, resolution capacity and deposit insurance, and a financial safety net. The paper argues that EU regional banking regulation provides a useful reference point, but the lower degree of credit market openness in ASEAN implies that a more nuanced approach can be adopted, and makes specific recommendations.

This paper seeks to understand why Asian foreign investment is concentrated in financial markets outside of the region instead of in Asian markets. We analyze empirically the geographical composition of the cross-border portfolio holdings of more than 40 source countries. We compare these benchmark results with those of four subgroups: advanced industrial economies, emerging market economies, European economies, and Asia-Pacific economies. The lack of liquidity in Asian financial markets turns out to be one reason why Asian capital is invested predominantly outside the region, notwithstanding the short distances and large trade flows between Asian economies. Initiatives to improve the liquidity of Asian financial markets, therefore, may be a useful way to stimulate financial integration within the region.

Over Time

International capital flows are strongly influenced by countryspecific patterns that can be best understood in historical and comparative perspective. A long-term empirical analysis of French and German investment in Spain reveals that the core capabilities of foreign fi rms and their relations with local partners have spurred the rise and development of two national models of international investment, characterized here as “political” and “technical.” The research identifies the main actors and the ownership advantages of the two models that have proved to be so resilient over time.

With the acceleration of economic globalization and financial market integration, there has been a gradual increase in the amount of international capital and considerable global movement of capital flow. Due to its inherent uncertainty, immense capital flows, and complex structure, international capital flows have an enormous impact on international trade, finance flowing, and economic development for countries all over the world. This paper aims to provide a full overview of international capital flow, focusing on the internal fluctuation patterns and developing trends in the near future. Through the qualitative analysis of China’s capital flows, this paper also summarizes its major characteristics and multiple effects caused by international capital flows.

Theoretical Approaches

The article summarizes theoretical approaches to substantiate the benefits and risks of financial openness as the scientific basis for shaping economic stability policy. Shown the gaps of the neoliberal approach to financial openness as an exogenous factor of economic growth and its contradiction with classical theory. The author identifies the signs of change in the institutional view of leading IFIs at the global level and the formation of a more rational approach to the introduction of financial openness, which includes the implementation of international capital flows control and management policies. Determined the main factors of the formation of conditions for financial instability in the economy under the influence of the consequences of uncontrolled movement of international capital flows and revival of foreign trade. As a result of the comparison of modern views with the classical origins of the theory of free movement of capital and the analysis of empirical data on the practical impact of financial openness on economic stability, it is substantiated that the modern rational approach is more consistent with the classical origins of the theory of financial integration and the practical needs for stable economic growth. Substantiated the influence of the institutional environment of the financial sector on the benefits of financial and trade openness. Based on the need to ensure stable functioning of Ukraine’s economy, the author outlines the conceptualized principles of the rational advancement of Ukraine’s economy towards financial openness.
