How important are global factors for understanding the dynamics of international capital flows?
Eller, Markus; Huber, Florian; Schuberth, Helene - 2018
We propose a dynamic factor model with time-varying parameters and stochastic volatility to analyze the relationship between global factors and country-specific capital flow dynamics. Studying a global sample of 43 countries from 1994 until 2015, we show that global co-movement of macroeconomic,...

The role of asymmetry and uncertainties in the capital flows- Economic Growth Nexus
Raheem, Ibrahim Dolapo; Le Roux, Sara; Asongu, Simplice - 2019
This study examines the asymmetry between capital flows and economic growth in 42 countries for the period 1990-2017. It further argues that uncertainty is an important channel through which asymmetry operates. As such, the three measures of uncertainty are macroeconomic, fiscal and...

Buch, Claudia M.; Döpke, Jörg; Pierdzioch, Christian - 2002
The globalization of international financial markets has renewed interest in the measurement of capital mobility. Consumption-based tests such as the Euler equation test are commonly used. These tests, however, are derived under restrictive assumptions on consumer behavior. In this paper, we ask...
