Abstract
We apply a factor model to estimate the spillover effects of global fund flows across international equity and bond markets. We document robust evidence of global and regional spillovers of equity and bond flows in the transmission of external shocks, especially to emerging markets (EMs) during episodes of financial crises and capital stops. Macroprudential policies are effective in alleviating global and regional spillovers to EMs. However, we find no similar evidence for capital controls. Foreign and passive investors mitigate global and regional spillovers, but not sustainable investors whose scale may be too small to have any major impact. We observe bilateral spillovers between equity and bond markets within the same economy; however, their magnitudes are not comparable to those of global or regional spillovers.

International trade, financing and investments, and the related cash and credit transactions, have grown at an extremely rapid pace in recent years. The international monetary system has continued to evolve to accommodate the need for foreign-currency denominated transactions and in the process has provided opportunities for its ongoing observation and study. The purpose of the Journal of International Financial Markets, Institutions & Money is to publish rigorous, original articles dealing with the international aspects of financial markets, institutions and money. 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. • International financial markets • International securities markets • Foreign exchange markets • Eurocurrency markets • International syndications • Term structures of Eurocurrency rates • Determination of exchange rates • Information, speculation and parity • Forward rates and swaps • International payment mechanisms • International commercial banking; • International investment banking • Central bank intervention • International monetary systems • Balance of payments.
