Financial Markets and International Risk Sharing
نویسنده
چکیده
Panel analysis of 20 industrial countries shows evidence for pro-cyclicality of capital gains on domestic stock markets in particular over a medium term horizon. Thus, with cross-border ownership of portfolio equity investments, potential for international smoothing of domestic output fluctuations by means of the capital gains channel is found. Individual country analysis reveals substantial heterogeneity of cyclicality patterns. Evidence suggests that this cross-country variation can be explained by the level of economic development and the size of financial markets.

متن کاملWhat Macroeconomic Risks Are (not) Shared by International Investors?
Adopting an asset-market view of international risk sharing, we identify various sources of macroeconomic risk faced by international investors using a structural Vector Autoregression model. We find that most of the risk of exogenous financial market shocks are shared by international investors through the existing asset markets.
