This empirical paper examines how institutional strengths or weaknesses of emerging markets might affect investment inflows into these countries. The study includes data of 13 emerging economies from different regions. The countries included are Argentina, Brazil, Chile, China, Indonesia, India, South Korea, Mexico, Malaysia, Nigeria, Poland, Russia, and Turkey for the time period 2000-2018. The institutional variables; property rights, good governance, corruption, rule of law, and civil liberties are examined to understand if there is a deviation from the existing literature for the emerging countries. Secondly, we also investigated differences among the emerging countries and asked if non-BRIC countries are different in results. A panel data model has been performed for the analysis. Our findings prove that some institutions such as corruption, civil liberties, property rights, and good governance are significantly important to attract FDI into the emerging markets, as indicated in the literature for the developed countries, but not as strong as assumed. Secondly, other institutional constructs such as rule of law and political stability found to be insignificant in emerging markets. Finally, we found a similar result even when we analyzed emerging markets without BRIC countries.

A nova ordem global foi remodelada nos últimos tempos. Novos atores estão surgindo de diferentes partes da Ásia, América Latina e Europa Oriental, mesmo que o presidente dos Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, tente conter essa tendência. As economias emergentes continuam a expandir-se e alguns analistas preveem que ultrapassarão as economias do G7 até 2027. No entanto, a principal questão levantada neste texto não é se os países do BRIC e os países emergentes ultrapassarão os países desenvolvidos mas se estes países poderão criar instituições fortes para garantir o Estado de Direito, reduzir as desigualdades sociais e garantir um desenvolvimento sustentável por um longo período, aproveitando o crescimento econômico que estão vivendo. Este texto se concentrará na análise da necessidade de criar, manter e promover o Estado de Direito nos países emergentes, enfatizando o caso do Brasil e do México, pois esses países estão em um momento decisivo para determinar seu futuro.



Subject The impact of the European Commission decision to escalate the ‘rule of law’ procedure against Poland to its third and final stage. Significance The escalation in tensions between Warsaw and Brussels over reforms that threaten the independence of Poland’s judiciary is having a muted impact on sentiment in financial markets. More important are investors’ bullish stance on emerging markets (EM), and expectations that the ECB is in no rush to withdraw monetary stimulus. Impacts The dollar index against other currencies has fallen to its lowest level since May 2016, providing a major fillip to emerging market assets. Sentiment towards developing economies is buoyed by the prospect of persistently low interest rates. The severe escalation in US-North Korean tensions is having only a muted impact on financial markets, judging by the Vix Index ‘fear gauge’.
