Foreign investment in times of COVID-19: How strong is the flight to advanced economies?
This paper investigates the flight to advanced economies by foreign investors at the onset of the COVID pandemic. Amid an overall decline of international positions, countries featuring higher GDPs per capita, and belonging to the groups of advanced, G7, or euro area countries, appear to have been significantly less severely hit by the pandemic than developing countries. Comparing the growth rates of foreign liabilities in the first quarter of 2020, the wedge between advanced and emerging countries is about 3%, and it is at least twice as large for G7 countries. This wedge is paired with evidence of momentum trading by foreign investors. Our results are robust to the inclusion, as controls, of government stringency measures, alternative indicators of the severity of the pandemic, and alternative sample specification and regression methods.
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.
