Abstract
This study empirically examines the role of foreign direct investment (FDI) in triggering financial deepening (FD) in the Southeast Asian region. More specifically, it investigates the direct and indirect role of FDI in enhancing the level of FD. The findings of the robust feasible generalized least squares (FGLS) and panel-corrected standard errors (PCSE) estimators suggest that FDI acts as an essential stimulator to FD in the region – directly as well as indirectly through money supply. The results are robust under alternative specifications and institutional measures. The study recommends policymakers to carefully consider the channel of money supply that substantially influences FDI to stimulate the level of FD. In addition, it is important to understand the dynamic role of the institutional framework and other macroeconomic variables in this nexus.
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.
