The findings reveal the following: First, developed economies are largely insulated from geopolitical shocks and exhibit a statistically significant risk aversion effect only in the low tail of the capital flow distribution, primarily preventing severe capital outflows during turbulent periods. Second, emerging and developing economies experience sharp declines in FDI and significant increases in FPI when geopolitical risks rise, reflecting speculative hot money seeking risk premiums rather than fundamentals driven capital. Third, a structural break analysis reveals that the 2008 financial crisis shifted global capital logics, causing mature economies to lose their immunity to FDI withdrawals while emerging markets increasingly attract FDI through supply chain restructuring. Fourth, heterogeneity analysis shows that higher FinTech penetration in emerging markets unexpectedly increases the negative effect of geopolitical risks on FDI by lowering withdrawal costs, whereas capital account restrictions mitigate these declines. These findings underscore how geopolitical fragmentation reshapes the composition of global finance, suppressing productive capital and fueling speculative volatility.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48074,"journal":{"name":"Pacific-Basin Finance Journal","volume":"98 ","pages":"Article 103182"},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147797574","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Additionally, with enhanced availability of trade credit, firms reduce reliance on bank loans, particularly short-term loans.

Firm value declines when firms replace, rather than supplement, incumbent directors, or when they comply closer to the regulatory deadline. A detailed analysis of individual directors shows that incoming female directors are, on average, younger, less experienced, and more likely to have non-business backgrounds compared to the departing directors.

Improved AI governance, enhanced AI-training dataset accessibility, and relaxed FDI restrictions in fabricated metal industries push the dynamic path of the response difference between non-China emerging economies and China toward zero.
