Abstract:
The paper examines the influence of investor protection on international equity
portfolio investments. Using bilateral portfolio holdings data for 36 countries
for 2001-2006, the study demonstrates that the investor protection measures are
important determinants of foreign equity portfolio investments. The findings
suggest that by improving the quality and enforcement efficiency of legal
protections offered to foreign investors, policymakers may be able to attract
greater international equity portfolio investments.
