Capital Inflow Surges and Consequences

Capital Inflow Surges in Emerging Economies: How Worried Should LAC Be?

The Relationships among Capital Flow Surges, Reversals and Sudden Stops

We contribute to the growing literature on the behavior of capital flow surges and their relationships with sudden stops and capital flow reversals. We suggest a definition of true sudden stops based on gross foreign flows that is a subset of net capital flow reversals. We find that a majority of surges end in reversals of some type and this percentage is only slightly over half for surges in n...

Elasticity of Substitution, Capital Inflow and Government Size

A number of recent studies have attempted to identify the determinants of government size. It is well known that the size of government has implications for welfare and economic growth. This paper shows that the size of the fixed cost involving public good provision affects the magnitude of capital inflow induced changes in government size and welfare. By making use of a simulation exercise, it...

Capital Inflow into Developing Economies: a Macroeconomic Study

External capital inflow on a massive scale into the emerging market economies is a very significant phenomenon of recent years. Making distinctions between direct investment, real and financial, and portfolio investment and incorporating crowding in or crowding out effects we derive some results about the impact of higher inflow on output, investment and the exchange rare. A formula is suggeste...

The Impact of Financial Sanctions on Capital Inflow and Outflow (case of Iran)

The paper aims to examine the impact of financial sanctions on capital inflow and outflow in Iran. The research question is about examining the effect of financial sanctions on FDI inflow and capital outflow in Iran. We used the intervention model as an econometric method to estimate the impact during 2005-2019. The paper discussed three periods. From 2005 to 2010, severe financial sanctions ne...
