Abstract
This study examines the nonlinear effects of financial openness on financial development in the representative ASEAN member states: Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand. It reveals that with a low (high) level of financial openness, the assets and liabilities of foreign direct investment increase (decrease) equity market capitalization and the financial development, institution, and market indices. We identify a threshold of financial openness where its positive impact begins to diminish; beyond this point, excessive financial openness may become detrimental to financial development. By reassessing the risks associated with financial openness after the Asian financial crisis, we can understand that the potential toxicity amplified by financial openness may pose threats to financial development.
期刊介绍:
International trade, financing and investments have grown at an extremely rapid pace in recent years, and the operations of corporations have become increasingly multinationalized. Corporate executives buying and selling goods and services, and making financing and investment decisions across national boundaries, have developed policies and procedures for managing cash flows denominated in foreign currencies. These policies and procedures, and the related managerial actions of executives, change as new relevant information becomes available. The purpose of the Journal of Multinational Financial Management is to publish rigorous, original articles dealing with the management of the multinational enterprise. Theoretical, conceptual, and empirical papers providing meaningful insights into the subject areas will be considered. The following topic areas, although not exhaustive, are representative of the coverage in this Journal. • Foreign exchange risk management • International capital budgeting • Forecasting exchange rates • Foreign direct investment • Hedging strategies • Cost of capital • Managing transaction exposure • Political risk assessment • International working capital management • International financial planning • International tax management • International diversification • Transfer pricing strategies • International liability management • International mergers.
