This paper makes an exploratory empirical investigation into the relationship between the net private capital flows and economic growth using a panel dataset from emerging Asian countries viz South Korea, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and the Philippines over the period from 1980 to 2001....

This paper tests for predictability of output growth in a panel of twenty-two emerging market economies. We use pooled panel data methods that control for endogeneity and persistence in the predictor variables to test the predictive power of a large set of financial aggregates including...

This paper extends the output growth model tested by Levine and Zervos (1998) by including a measure for capital allocation efficiency proxied by stock price informativeness. Using a sample of 62 countries, this study finds that stock price informativeness as measured by firm-specific return...

This article aimed at verifying the existence of value versus growth and at identifying the variables that best explain their impact on Brazilian stock profits. To this end, we tested book-to-market, price-earnings and price-to-cash flow variables. Two methodological approaches were employed:...

This paper seeks to add to the current debate about financial development and growth in the emerging world by looking at how different financial systems evolve: how and why financial structures change during various stages of development, how best to measure them, and seeing what practical...

This study examined the relationship between macroeconomic variable volatility and stock market return within the context of Blanchard (1981) extension of the Hicks (1937) IS-LM hypothesis, using exponential general autoregressive conditional heteroskedascity estimation techniques to analysis...

Globally, investments in physical and human capital have been identified to foster real economic growth and development in any economy. Investments, which could be domestic or foreign, have been established in the literature as either complements or substitutes in varying scenarios. While...
