Latin multinationals become global headliners
Davidson, Charles; Kay, Stephen J. (2007)
Emerging-market multinationals are grabbing the spotlight in the world economy. Gaining ground on firms from Asia, sophisticated Latin American companies are becoming giants in their industries, acquiring firms and tapping into the fertile markets in developed economies like the United States and Europe.

Why do U.S. cross-listings matter?
Ammer, John; Holland, Sara B.; Smith, David C.; Warnock, Francis E. (2008)
This paper investigates the underlying determinants of home bias using a comprehensive sample of U.S. investor holdings of foreign stocks. We document that U.S. cross-listings are economically important, as U.S. ownership in a foreign firm roughly doubles upon cross-listing in the United States. We explore the cross-sectional variation in this "cross-listing effect" and show that increases in U.S. investment are largest in firms from weak accounting backgrounds and in firms that are otherwise informationally opaque, indicating that U.S. investors value the improvements in disclosure ...

What's in a name? An experimental examination of investment behavior
Tompkins, James; Church, Bryan K.; Zhang, Ping; Ackert, Lucy F. (2003)
A fundamental unresolved issue is whether information asymmetries underlie investors' predisposition to invest close to home (i.e., domestically or locally). The authors conduct experiments in the United States and Canada to investigate agents' portfolio allocation decisions, controlling for the availability of information. Providing participants with information about a firm's home base, without disclosing its specific identity, is not sufficient to change investment behavior. Rather, participants need to know a firm's name and home base. Additional evidence indicates that participants are ...

Modeling investment income and other services in the U.S. international transactions accounts
Helkie, William L.; Stekler, Lois E. (1987)
This paper presents the services account sector of a model of U.S. international transactions (the USIT model) that is maintained in the Division of International Finance of the Federal Reserve Board. Part I present the models for payments and receipts on direct investment, other investment income, and non-investment services. Part II reports on simulations that indicate the sensitivity of the model's forecast to changes in its predetermined variables such as interest rates and exchange rates. In particular, we explore the implications of large current account deficits and the resulting ...

Information costs and home bias: an analysis of U.S. holdings of foreign equities
Ahearne, Alan G.; Griever, William L.; Warnock, Francis E. (2000)
We aim to provide insight into the observed equity home bias phenomenon by analyzing the determinants of U.S. holdings of equities across a wide range of countries. In particular, we explore the role of information costs in determining the country distribution of U.S. investors' equity holdings using a comprehensive new data set on U.S. ownership of foreign stocks. We find that U.S. holdings of a country's equities are positively related to the share of that country's stock market that is listed on U.S. exchanges, even after controlling for capital controls, trade links, transaction costs, ...

Interactions between domestic and foreign investment
Stevens, Guy V. G.; Lipsey, Robert E. (1988)
This paper studies both the domestic and foreign fixed investment expenditures of a sample of U. S. multinational firms. In addition to explaining empirically each type of investment, an important goal is to determine whether there are significant interactions between expenditures in the different locations. ; Two types of interaction--one, financial, and the other, production-based--are explored theoretically and empirically. The financial interaction is the result of a model which assumes a risk of bankruptcy and its associated costs; under these circumstances, the firm faces an increasing ...
