Abstract: This paper conducts a theoretical and empirical investigation of the pricing (and portfolio) implications of investment barriers in the context of international capital markets. The postulated market structure-labelled "mildly segmented"-leads to the existence of "super" risk premiums for a subset of securities and to a breakdown of the standard separation result. The empirical study uses an extended data base including LDC markets and provides tentative support for the mild segmentation hypothesis. THE QUESTION AS TO whether the international capital market is integrated or segmented appears particularly elusive. Indeed, the difficulties surrounding this important issue abound, as was made vividly clear by Solnik [20]. At the risk of tackling too ambitious a task, we undertake here to build a model and develop an empirical methodology to provide at least a partial answer to the

The Only Game in Town: Stock-Price Consequences of Local Bias
TL;DR: This article found that most of the variation in the ratio of interest comes from differences across regions in aggregate book value per capita, which leads to higher stock prices via an "only-game-in-Town" effect.

Stock Market Liberalization and the Information Environment
TL;DR: In this article, beneficial associations between the information environment in emerging stock markets and changes in openness to foreign equity investors reflected in legal, regulatory, and cross-listing events, the fraction of stock available to foreign investors, and the size of U.S. portfolio flows are found.

The Integration of the Real Estate Market and the Stock Market: Some Preliminary Evidence
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated whether the commercial real estate market is segmented from the stock market using the framework of Jorion and Schwartz (1986) and found evidence that segmentation does exist as the result of indirect barriers such as the cost, amount, and quality of information for real estate rather than legal constraints.
A Theoretical Analysis of the Investor Protection Regulations Argument for Global Listing of Stocks
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that when markets differ in their regulatory environment, regulatory strictness may enable managers of highly profitable foreign firms to credibly convey their private information regarding their firms' future prospects through listing on the market with strict regulatory environment.

A critique of the asset pricing theory's tests Part I: On past and potential testability of the theory
TL;DR: In this paper, a mathematical equivalence between the individual return/beta linearity relation and the market portfolio's mean-variance efficiency is discussed, which implies that every individual asset must be included in a correct test.

A model of international asset pricing
TL;DR: In this article, an intertemporal model of international asset pricing is constructed which admits differences in consumption opportunity sets across countries, and it is shown that the real expected excess return on a risky asset is proportional to the covariance of the return of that asset with changes in the world real consumption rate.

The Effects of International Operations on the Market Value of the Firm: Theory and Evidence
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the existence of monopoly rents associated with international operations in a market-value theoretic framework and find that the benefits of international operations evolve from such factors as (1) imperfections in the product and factor markets, (2) differential international taxation, and (3) imperfection in the financial markets.
