Book Description
This paper investigates the impact of the opening up of the Taiwan futures market to foreign investors on the price discovery function and volatility of the local futures market. The additional market factor effects are controlled and the asymmetric response behavior is studied. Major results are as follows. First, the evidence suggests that foreign investment liberalization increases the number of informed traders and leads to improve the price discovery function of the Taiwan futures market. Second, the level of futures price volatility increases and the asymmetric responses of volatility to news have reduced following futures markets liberalization. These results imply that increased participation of informed foreign investors in emerging futures market should enhance the rate of information flow, improve the quality and reliability of information and, hence, reduce the impact of noise traders on price volatility. Our findings provide important information to policymakers considering opening up their markets to foreign investors.

Taiwan's Capital Market Reform
Author: Brian Semkow
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 376
Book Description
Taiwan's Capital Market Reform examines from a unique interdisciplinary financial, legal, and economic framework, the history, current status, and future prospects of capital market reform in Taiwan. Taiwan emerged as a very important regional economy in the Asia Pacific in the 1980s, ranking among the top twenty in the world, and its economy is forecast to double by 2000 AD. This development, along with its eventual admission into GATT, among other bodies, will increase Taiwan's global stature. The system of financial markets has grown commensurably with the economy and substantial steps have been taken to liberalize and internationalize Taiwan's capital markets. This work examines the significance these measures have for domestic and foreign corporations and governments, and individual and institutional investors in Taiwan, Asia, and the rest of the world.

International Capital Flows
Author: Martin Feldstein
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 0226241807
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 500
Book Description
Recent changes in technology, along with the opening up of many regions previously closed to investment, have led to explosive growth in the international movement of capital. Flows from foreign direct investment and debt and equity financing can bring countries substantial gains by augmenting local savings and by improving technology and incentives. Investing companies acquire market access, lower cost inputs, and opportunities for profitable introductions of production methods in the countries where they invest. But, as was underscored recently by the economic and financial crises in several Asian countries, capital flows can also bring risks. Although there is no simple explanation of the currency crisis in Asia, it is clear that fixed exchange rates and chronic deficits increased the likelihood of a breakdown. Similarly, during the 1970s, the United States and other industrial countries loaned OPEC surpluses to borrowers in Latin America. But when the U.S. Federal Reserve raised interest rates to control soaring inflation, the result was a widespread debt moratorium in Latin America as many countries throughout the region struggled to pay the high interest on their foreign loans. International Capital Flows contains recent work by eminent scholars and practitioners on the experience of capital flows to Latin America, Asia, and eastern Europe. These papers discuss the role of banks, equity markets, and foreign direct investment in international capital flows, and the risks that investors and others face with these transactions. By focusing on capital flows' productivity and determinants, and the policy issues they raise, this collection is a valuable resource for economists, policymakers, and financial market participants.

Trends and Impacts of Foreign Investment in Developing Country Agriculture
Author: Pascal Liu
Publisher: Food & Agriculture Organization of the UN (FAO)
ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 384
Book Description
Substantial increases in agricultural investments in developing countries are needed to combat poverty and realize food security and nutrition goals. There is evidence that agricultural investments can generate a wide range of developmental benefits, but these benefits cannot be expected to arise automatically and some forms of large-scale investment carry risks for host countries. Although there has been much debate about the potential benefits and risks of international investment, there is no systematic evidence on the actual impacts on the host country and their determinants. In order to acquire an in-depth understanding of potential benefits, constraints and costs of foreign investment in agriculture and of the business models that are more conducive to development, FAO has undertaken research in developing countries.This publication summarizes the results of this research, in particular through the presentation of the main findings of case studies in nine developing countries. It presents case studies on policies to attract foreign investment in agriculture and their impacts on national economic development in selected countries in Africa, Asian and Latin America.

Geopolitical Risk on Stock Returns: Evidence from Inter-Korea Geopolitics
Author: Seungho Jung
Publisher: International Monetary Fund
ISBN: 1557759677
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 36
Book Description
We investigate how corporate stock returns respond to geopolitical risk in the case of South Korea, which has experienced large and unpredictable geopolitical swings that originate from North Korea. To do so, a monthly index of geopolitical risk from North Korea (the GPRNK index) is constructed using automated keyword searches in South Korean media. The GPRNK index, designed to capture both upside and downside risk, corroborates that geopolitical risk sharply increases with the occurrence of nuclear tests, missile launches, or military confrontations, and decreases significantly around the times of summit meetings or multilateral talks. Using firm-level data, we find that heightened geopolitical risk reduces stock returns, and that the reductions in stock returns are greater especially for large firms, firms with a higher share of domestic investors, and for firms with a higher ratio of fixed assets to total assets. These results suggest that international portfolio diversification and investment irreversibility are important channels through which geopolitical risk affects stock returns.
