Regional and global capital flows

de Takatoshi Itō, Anne O. Krueger

The volume of capital flows between industrial and developing countries has grown dramatically in the past decade and has become a major issue in a world that is increasingly 'globalised'. Here, two experts on this topic have assembled a group of scholars who address different types of capital flows - bank lending, bonds, direct foreign investment - and the implications they hold for economic performance. With its particular focus on the Asian financial crises, this work presents a new model which is concerned with the role of private capital flows.
