We study the interrelationship between capital flows, returns, dividend yields and world interest rates in 20 emerging markets. We estimate a vector autoregressionn with these variables to measure the degree to which lower interest rates contribute to increased capital flows and shocks in flows...

Measuring the integration of world capital markets is notoriously difficult. For example, regulatory changes which appear comprehensive may have little impact on the functioning of the capital market if they fail to lead to foreign portfolio inflows. In contrast to the usual practice of...

We study the interrelationship between capital flows, returns, dividend yields and world interest rates in 20 emerging markets. We use a structural VAR framework to examine the impact of shocks in interest rates and net capital flows on asset returns and the cost of capital. In contrast to...
