Using a panel fractional regression model to evaluate the determinants of shares of international investment positions, we find some strong empirical support to the claim that a diversification motive is relevant. It turns out that less synchronized economies attract larger portfolio investment shares. The utmost relevance of trade relationships among countries in shaping international investment positions is also confirmed. © 2013 Elsevier B.V.

Abstract
Using a panel fractional regression model to evaluate the determinants of shares of international investment positions, we find some strong empirical support to the claim that a diversification motive is relevant. It turns out that less synchronized economies attract larger portfolio investment shares. The utmost relevance of trade relationships among countries in shaping international investment positions is also confirmed. © 2013 Elsevier B.V.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
