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

Home Bias and Dutch Pension Funds’ Investment behaviour
TL;DR: The authors investigated asset allocation behavior of Dutch pension funds across multiple asset classes and found that domestic investments, also known as home bias, in portfolio choices of Dutch institutional investors have fallen, and also found that the introduction of the euro, the dot-com crisis (1999-2001) and individual PF's characteristics are significant determinants of home bias.

The Euro and Corporate Valuations
TL;DR: In this article, the authors study the changes in corporate valuations induced by the adoption of the euro as the common currency in Europe and show that the introduction of the Euro has increased Tobin's Q-ratios by 17.1% in the euro-area countries that previously had weak currencies.
The Coming Wave: Where Do Emerging Market Investors Put Their Money?
TL;DR: The authors found that emerging market investors systematically over- or under-weight their equity portfolio holdings in a way that reflects the influences of past capital and trade flows from a foreign country, and interpreted this finding as support for van Nieuwerburgh and Veldkamp (2009) information endowment hypothesis.
Heterogeneous Taxes and Limited Risk Sharing: Evidence from Municipal Bonds
TL;DR: In this paper, tax-policy-induced ownership segmentation is shown to limit risk-sharing, creating regions of the aggregate demand curve for the asset that are "downward-sloping" and making the asset's price more sensitive to movements in idiosyncratic risk.

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.

TL;DR: In this article, a simple model is presented in which it is costly for domestic investors to hold foreign assets and the implications of the model for the composition of optimal portfolios at home and abroad are derived.

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.
