Modern trends in capital flows in emerging markets

This chapter provides an evaluation of the influence of the most significant external and internal factors on international capital flows in the form of direct and portfolio investments for 24 developing countries during the period 1990-2015. The authors have adopted the partial adjustment model and the feasible generalized least squares estimator for panel data. Results show that the determinants of capital flow for foreign direct and portfolio investments differ. The impact of political risks on cross-border capital flows has been identified.
