Abstract: This paper constructs a new database for capital flow management policies (CFMs) in 16 emerging market economies from 1999 to 2008 and analyses their effect on extreme capital flow movements. We show that CFMs are effective in mitigating drastic changes of capital flows. We also find that CFMs do not have significant impacts on capital flow volumes. The results suggest that CFMs could be employed as policy toolkits for mitigating extreme capital flow movements without distorting capital flows in a normal period.
