Equity markets and investment patterns: the network perspective

International Journal of Monetary Economics and Finance, 2020, vol. 13, issue 3, 189-197

Abstract: The close-knit networks such as the European Union (EU) influence the internal investment flows. The study explores the connectivity patterns, closeness, and clustering in the neighbourhood. All these characteristics can influence the foreign portfolio investment flows for any country. Analysis of network connectivity and possible correlations patterns with major economic indicators of any member country can explain the patterns of investment decisions. The findings strengthen the belief about strong connectivity between economic stability or deterioration with better or weak connectivity patterns in the investment network as a result of changes in the economic state of affairs, even in strongly knit clusters.
