Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using a matched sample design where companies are matched by size and industry from Australian, Canadian and US capital markets, we investigate whether capital market integration varies across industries. The tests are conducted in the Capital Asset Pricing Model and multi-factor pricing frameworks over the 1983-1992 period. Our evidence supports two main findings. First, global industry stocks such as oil and mining stocks are priced in a relatively integrated capital market while regional industry stocks such as consumer and capital goods stocks are priced in segmented markets. Second, Australian stocks are priced in different markets than their Canadian and US counterparts. Evidence suggests that the pricing of Canadian stocks occurs in a regionally integrated North American stock market rather than in a global market. This evidence supports the notion that economic and trade linkages are a dominant factor in international asset pricing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Capital markets in the East African Community (EAC) face common challenges of low capitalization and liquidity, but to different degrees. EAC member countries have made noticeable progress in developing domestic capital markets through a regional approach, removing constraints on capital transactions and harmonizing market infrastructure. Nevertheless, empirical analysis suggests capital market integration has not deepened during the past few years in the EAC, although convergence of investment returns is taking place to some extent. Learning from the experience of the West African Economic and Monetary Union and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, EAC countries would benefit from four actions to accelerate financial market integration: (i) further harmonize market infrastructure; (ii) strengthen regional surveillance mechanisms; (iii) encourage local currency bond issuance by multilateral financial institutions; and (iv) build the capacity of the existing regional institutions.
Download or read book The Integration of World Capital Markets written by Mr.Michael Mussa and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 1993-12-01 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper discusses the extent to which national capital markets have become linked, and identifies several of the more important consequences of that increased degree of integration. Alternative approaches to the measurement of capital market integration are reviewed, including deviations from the law of one price, differences between actual and optimally diversified portfolios, correlations between domestic investment and domestic saving, and cross-country links in consumption behavior. Two recent episodes of large-scale international capital flows—namely, the turmoil in the European Monetary System in the fall of 1992, and the surge of capital inflows into Latin America during the last three years—are examined for insights into the workings of today’s global capital market. Finally, the paper offers some concluding remarks on the future development of international capital markets, on exchange rate management, on alternative approaches to living with larger and more influential financial markets, and on the financing of investment in the formerly centrally planned economies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study explores the effects of globalization on gender inequality. Specifically, we depict that, in terms of capital market integration, globalization alters the gender gap in wage rates through changes in labor demand for capital-intensive sectors. Consequently, globalization leads to opposite effects on the couple's labor supply and fertility decisions in capital-importing and capital-exporting countries, via changes in the bargaining positions of men and women. Moreover, by considering the properties of the industrial structures of capital-importing and capital-exporting countries, our result shows that globalization induces empirically observed declines in fertility rates throughout the world.

Download or read book Market Integration in the European Community written by J. Pelkmans and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-12-01 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the present stage of integration, private and public market integration is really what the European Community is all about. A stable security settin- itself, in part, a result of European integration - and cooperative politics in Western Europe have enabled the creation and maintenance of an elaborate legal system and common institutions facilitating the unification of product markets throughout the Community. Of course, the pervasive and incessant politicisation of Community decision-making at the Ministerial level tends to diminish attention for what actually happens in the Community industrial markets, while also obscuring its profound economic impact on Europeah society. It is precisely from the fascination with this vivid 'core' of the European Community that this book has arisen. I have attempted to combine empirical economic analysis, and a minimum of institutional description, with economic theory. Access to theory has been facilitated by the avoidance of algebraic tools, employing - only where necessary - geometric tools. In combining the analytical traditions of international and industrial economics, linked to a fairly detailed institutional economics of legal arrangements and competences at the EC level, it is hoped to provide the relevant tools to comprehend the industrial Euromarkets.

Book excerpt: The post-war period has seen a steady and sizable expansion of international economic integration. Trade in goods has grown rapidly, but trade in assets (e.g. bank accounts, stocks, bonds, and real property) has grown far faster. The rapid growth of international asset markets suggests that they confer important economic benefits. However, that growth also raises concerns about international capital flows as initiators or conduits of economic crisis among nations. Several factors have contributed to the rapid growth of international capital flows. The collapse of the Bretton Woods System of international monetary management also initiated a fairly quick abandonment of controls on international capital flows in most industrial countries. Expanding investment opportunities in both developed and developing nations raised the incentives for cross border investing. Innovations in communication and information technology have dramatically reduced the cost of international communication and expanded access to data for assessing risk and reward. Also of importance has been the creation of new financial instruments that improve investment decision making. The extent of capital market integration is evident in the huge increases in most financial realms over the last twenty years. These include bank deposits, securities (stocks and bonds) and foreign exchange. Foreign exchange transactions world-wide have grown so much that the value of annual foreign exchange trading exceeds the value of goods transactions by a factor of 50. Despite this growth data indicate that asset market integration still falls well short of creating one world market in assets. The economic benefits of international capital flows are significant. The presence of well functioning international asset markets can extend the benefit of international trade well beyond the gains associated with the exchange of goods and services. International capital markets can facilitate a more efficient allocation of saving and investment across nations, allowing an optimal spreading of consumption spending over time. International trade in assets can also enable greater diversification of investment portfolios, leading to reduced investor risk. In conjunction with flexible exchange rates, high capital mobility also enhances the power of monetary policy as well as alters how monetary forces are transmitted and distributed through the economy. Economists and policy makers have also long recognized that increased financial integration carries risks. One risk is that more points of economic and financial contact raise the prospect of the transmission of negative economic shocks, so called "contagion" effects. In addition, some argue that asset markets themselves are often destabilizing and can generate periodic crises. For the U.S. the main problem associated with mobile global capital has been occasional misalignment of the dollar exchange rate. For the U.S., a large, predominately domestically oriented economy, with a well developed financial system and a resilient structure of private markets, large international flows of capital are absorbed to economic advantage, with a minimum of disruption, even in the face of large currency swings.
