Determinants of Net Capital Flows in Developing Countries

Stefano Manzocchi

Chapter 6 in Foreign Capital in Developing Economies, 1999, pp 105-132 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract A fundamental question concerning capital movements in developing economies is tackled in this chapter. After suggesting a (qualified) positive answer to the question: ‘Were developing countries (DCs) open to international capital movements during 1960–88?’ in Chapter 5, we now ask: ‘What determined the distribution of net capital flows across DCs in the same period?’ While Chapter 5 addresses an issue which is preliminary with respect to the central topics of this volume, this chapter goes right to core of the growth-theoretical approach to capital flows — indeed, it would not be arbitrary to view it as the empirical counterpart of Chapter 3.
