There is a long-term cointegrating relationship between capital markets development and economic growth and a unidirectional causality running from capital markets development to economic growth. Although the focus of my paper is on capital markets but using a linear regression model, I find other factors are negatively and positively associated with economic growth. Capital markets play a critical role in economic development by pooling together domestic savings and mobilizing foreign capital for productive long-term investment. Emerging markets are projected to grow strongly over the next couple of years, and sophisticated capital markets will only enhance future growth and ensure the competitiveness of those economies globally.","PeriodicalId":170565,"journal":{"name":"INTL: Other Emerging Markets: Regional Perspective (Topic)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122409822","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

English Abstract: Central and South America is approaching to Korea companies as a land of opportunities continuing a stable growth. This research covered the three countries around northwest-pacific, Colombia, Peru and Chile (\"Andean three countries\"), where our SMEs can access or enter into its market in the most effective way. Among Central and South American countries, Andean three countries not only signed the Free Trade Agreement with Korea but also have a great condition in order that our SMEs can make inroad to its market in view of both geographical position and potentiality of growth. In particular, Andean three countries and Mexico established the economy community, the Pacific Alliance (Alianza del Pacifico), and its economic community is strongly emerging as a representative of Pacific coast of Central and South America. The main purpose of this research is: (a) to analyze the present condition of economy, infrastructure, industrial composition, government policy, etc, (b) to evaluate the competitiveness of Korean SMEs in each industry field of local market after choosing the promising field and area to make inroad for their business, and (c) to seek the plans for expansion of Korean SMEs' business in the local market and the related policies.","PeriodicalId":170565,"journal":{"name":"INTL: Other Emerging Markets: Regional Perspective (Topic)","volume":"66 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"113967316","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We find that the cost of debt financing is significantly higher for firms whose largest shareholder is a foreign institutional one. The results suggest that due to potential agency conflicts between shareholders and creditors, having block institutional shareholders tend to increase the borrowers’ debt burden. We also find that for firms with better information transparency and countries with stronger creditor right protection and less exposure to financial crises, the effects of foreign institutional ownership on costs of bank loans appear to be weaker. More interestingly, our results indicate that for firms whose largest foreign shareholder is from the same country as its lead bank, the effects of foreign institutional shareholders on loan prices become smaller, suggesting milder conflicts between the same-base-county pair of shareholders and creditors. Our findings supplement the existing literature on linkages between corporate ownership structure and cost of capital.","PeriodicalId":170565,"journal":{"name":"INTL: Other Emerging Markets: Regional Perspective (Topic)","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133107482","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"China’s New Exchange Rate Regime, Optimal Basket Currency and Currency Diversification","authors":"Zhichao Zhang, Nan Shi, Xiaoli Zhang","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.1914296","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.1914296","url":null,"abstract":"We build an optimising framework to analyse a class of economies that adopt an ECU-type basket currency while in transition to increased flexibility of the exchange rate regime. Instead of conventional basket pegging, such an economy uses an ECU-type currency index as a benchmark for monitoring and assessing exchange rate movements. This provides an anchoring device for the nation’s exchange rate regime and allows the home currency’s exchange rate to fluctuate. Under the assumption that the central bank is chiefly interested in maintaining stability, the optimal structure of the basket currency is based on its contribution to minimizing the volatility of the country’s external account. A currency invariance index is applied to capture the effect of the country’s exit from exclusive linkage with the US dollar. The approach is illustrated by Chinese exchange rate policy. We find it advisable and viable for China to form a basket currency with a diversified portfolio of currencies. While the portfolio’s weighting scheme could favour the dollar, euro and Japanese yen, we show that the composition of the basket is open to a wide range of possibilities. Moreover, contrary to general fears, there is considerable potential for China to engage in currency diversification, which will not necessarily affect the dollar’s position.","PeriodicalId":170565,"journal":{"name":"INTL: Other Emerging Markets: Regional Perspective (Topic)","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133128943","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Anton","doi":"10.2139/SSRN.1863047","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/SSRN.1863047","url":null,"abstract":"Between 1964 and 1990, Texaco dumped about 16 billion gallons of toxic substances into the surface water of the Amazon, relied upon by indigenous Amazon and remote farmers. Texaco also created hundreds of unlined pits in the jungle floor and filled them with toxic sludge. In 1993, the Amazon indigenous communities and remote farmers sued Texaco in the United States, its home jurisdiction, seeking redress for damages caused by Texaco’s operations. From 1993 to 2002 Texaco and later Chevron, when it acquired Texaco, fought to have the case dismissed and moved to Ecuador as the more appropriate forum to try the case. Ultimately, the U.S. action was dismissed in exchange for promises by Chevron to accept jurisdiction in Ecuador and satisfy any judgment rendered by an Ecuadorian court. The case was re-filed and tried in Ecuador. On February 14, 2011 the Provincial Court of Sucumbios awarded the Ecuadorian plaintiffs $8.6 billion in damages, with $5.6 billion going toward environmental remediation. Anticipating the worst, Chevron took preemptive action back in the United States. With the judgment not final and no attempt by the Ecuadorian plaintiffs to enforce in the U.S., Chevron filed a complaint against the Ecuadorians seeking declaratory relief for non-recognition of the Ecuadorian judgment and a preliminary injunction enjoining the Ecuadorians from seeking to have the Ecuadorian judgment recognized or enforced anywhere in the world. On March 7, 2011, the U.S. Federal District Court in the Southern District of New York granted the preliminary injunction in this Opinion. The Ecuadorian's have appealed and this amicus brief was filed on June 9, 2001 in support of the Ecuadorians. The brief seeks to show that the District Court erred in granting the injunction and that international legal obligations of the United States requires that the injunction be dissolved and the case dismissed.","PeriodicalId":170565,"journal":{"name":"INTL: Other Emerging Markets: Regional Perspective (Topic)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126088243","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results point to the continued existence of economic links between the CIS countries and Russia, though these links may have altered since the 1998 crisis. Russia appears to influence regional growth mainly through the remittance channel and somewhat less so through the financial channel. There is a shrinking role of the trade (exports to Russia) channel. Russian growth shocks are associated with sizable effects on Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyz Republic, Tajikistan, and, to some extent, Georgia.","PeriodicalId":170565,"journal":{"name":"INTL: Other Emerging Markets: Regional Perspective (Topic)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129643936","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
