Abstract

This paper studies valuation changes of capital inflows in 19 emerging market economies (EMEs). In most of the EMEs, we find that there are significant valuation changes and a positive rate of return on external liabilities by foreigners. Furthermore, the nonlinear effects of exchange rate movements on valuation changes are investigated using panel smooth transition regression models. Empirical results show that the transition is centered at approximately −22.3% of exchange rate change, which implies that when the exchange rate appreciates more than this level, foreign investment value gains increase considerably.
