摘要:This paper examines international capital flows to emerging and developing countries.
We assess whether commonalities exist, the permanence of shocks to commonalities and
their determinants. Also, we consider individual country coherence with global capital
flows and we measure the extent of co-movements in the volatility of capital flows. Our
results suggest there are commonalities in capital inflows, although aggregate or
disaggregate capital flows respond differently to shocks. We find that the US long run
real interest rate is an important determinant of global capital flows, and real commodity
prices are relevant but to a lesser extent. We also find a role for human capital in
explaining why some countries can successfully ride the wave of financial globalisation
