What drives the capital flows into BRICS economies?

Abstract: Understanding what drives the capital flows has important policy implications for countries in managing the direction and magnitude of such flows. This paper empirically investigates the main drivers of capital flows into the fast‐growing BRICS countries, in the backdrop of their growing inward capital flows. Employing a fully balanced panel for the period 1995–2015, we focus on, among others, the hitherto commonly untested variables: sovereign credit ratings, economic freedom and ease of doing business rankin… Show more

“…Economic freedom does matter for economic growth (Carlsson & Lundström, ). There exists a causality between FDI inflows and economic growth, and FDIF enhances the competitiveness of the economy to attract more capital flows, thereby leading to faster economic growth (Mah, ; Swamy & Narayanamurthy, ). GNI accounts for investment in physical capital of a country and follows Wagner's law of public expenditure, which emphasises economic growth as the fundamental determinant of public sector growth (Crafts, ; Kolluri, Panik, & Wahab, ).…”

“…Because, BRIC economies have become increasingly important to the global investment community in recent years. This is true J o u r n a l P r e -p r o o f for a variety of reasons, including expectations of growing dominance in the international arena, as well as significant shifts in capital flows into their markets (Sensoy et al, 2014;Swamy & Narayanamurthy 2018), despite the capital flight due to tapering by the US Federal Reserve. Their markets also share a conception of development that is more partnership-orientated than donorrecipient focused in process (Piper, 2015).…”

“…The stock markets of BRIC have gained massive interest from researchers, policymakers and global investors due to the markets’ usefulness for portfolio diversification, safe haven and hedge, aside from being active and vibrant ( Swamy and Narayanamurthy, 2018 ; Sharma et al., 2019 ; Rehman, 2021 ; Shahzad et al., 2021 ). For this reason, BRIC markets have been touted to be one of the drivers of global growth ( Sachs, 2003 ; Grima and Caruana, 2017 ; Rehman, 2021 ; Mensi et al., 2014 ; Kalu et al., 2020 ).…”

“…Another trend in the literature has focused on the location choice of market/strategy and resource-oriented capital flows (Swamy and Narayanamurthy, 2018;Gatundu and Wario, 2014;Huo, 2014;Schu and Morhcett, 2017;Jayakumar, 2017;Alexander et al, 2011;Fedmann, 2016). For instance, a study by Swamy and Narayanamurthy looked at main drivers of capital flows in Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, in the backdrop of their growing inward capital (Swamy and Narayanamurthy, 2018). The study revealed that market size, infrastructure, economic freedom in the host countries, ease of doing business ranking and independent credit ratings are the main drivers in the long-run growth of capital flows.…”
