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 Global Factor Structure of Exchange Rates
TL;DR: In this article, a model-free framework was proposed to study the global factor structure of exchange rates, and a new methodology to estimate international stochastic discount factors (SDFs) that jointly price cross-sections of international assets, such as stocks, bonds, and currencies, in the presence of frictions.

A Dynamic Equilibrium Model of Imperfectly Integrated Financial Markets
TL;DR: In this paper, the determination of global equity portfolios and stock returns in the context of imperfectly integrated stock markets is analyzed, where the level of financial integration is captured by a proportional tax on foreign dividends.

The effects of portfolio size on international equity home bias puzzle
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated a new explanation for the international equity home bias puzzle based on an endogenous asymmetric information model using a cross-sectional mutual fund data set, and found that the degrees of home bias across fund managers are negatively correlated to the asset sizes under their management.

Effective Fair Pricing of International Mutual Funds
TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a new methodology to provide fair prices of international mutual funds by adjusting prices at the individual securities level using a comprehensive and economically relevant information set, and compare the performance of their approach with existing ones using 16 U.S.-based Japanese funds.
Global diversification and IPO returns
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the effect of international business activity on the pricing of initial public offerings (IPOs), post-IPO performance, and survival, and found that firms with exports and/or foreign sales prior to going public have significantly lower underpricing than firms without international business activities.

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.

On the Effects of Barriers to International Investment
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.
