WAGES, PROFITS AND CAPITAL FLIGHT* [PDF]

open access: possibleEconomics & Politics, 1991

There are three equilibria for such a game. Along the interior equilibrium, the domestic economy becomes “decapitalized” as investors build up their holdings of foreign ...

Colombian Capital Flight

Journal of Interamerican Studies and World Affairs, 1991
Why is it that when an American puts money abroad it is called "foreign investment" and when an Argentinean does the same it is called "capital flight"? Why is it when an American company puts 30% of its equity abroad it is called "strategic diversification" and when a Bolivian businessman puts only 4% abroad it is called "lack of confidence"?— Stephen

2017
Many developing countries have experienced large-scale capital flight at the same time as they were borrowing from external creditors. The dual phenomena of external debt and capital flight raise important questions. Why does capital flee developing countries even as foreign creditors continue to lend to them?

FLIGHT OF CAPITAL OR FLIGHT OF FANCY?

Oxford Journal of Archaeology, 1983
Summary. It has been suggested, on the evidence of mosaics, inscriptions, religious cults and villa plans, that a flight of capital from Gaul and Germany to Britain took place in the late 3rd and early 4th centuries.

Abstract This paper provides evidence for a rarely studied channel for capital flight: traveling. During an unprecedented period of large net capital outflows in 2014–2016, China’s travel expenditure rose to a level that was abnormally high relative to China’s outbound departures data, counterparty statistics, or by the norm of other countries.

Capital flight from Latin America

World Development, 1990
Abstract This paper focuses on capital flight from Latin America during the 1970s and 1980s. After estimating the extent of such flight, I suggest that capital flight imposes growth costs, erodes the tax base, and worsens income distribution. I then use regression analysis to investigate the causes of capital flight as well as the role of capital ...
