“O Brasil não precisa do capital externo. O capital se faz em casa" ["Brazil does not need external capital. The capital is made at home "]
Abstract
"O economista brasileiro Luiz Carlos Bresser-Pereira considera negativa a entrada de capital estrangeiro no Brasil, pois o país nãoprecisa disso e “deveria fazer barreiras a ele de tudo quanto éjeito”, levando em conta o princípio de que “o capital se faz emcasa”. Este último conceito ele explica na entrevista que aceitouconceder à IHU On-Line, por telefone. Para Bresser-Pereira, “enquanto que o liberalismo foi uma ideologia que surgiu no século XVIII, no meio de classes médias burguesas, que lutavam contra uma oligarquia de militares e de ricos e contra o Estado absoluto, o neoliberalismo é a ideologia dos ricos que, a partir do último quartel do século XX, lutam contra os pobres e as classes médias e contra o estado democrático. Minha avaliação do neoliberalismo é a pior possível”. E defende: “a estatização da dívida é muito injusta para os contribuintes, para os pobres que pagam mais impostos do que os ricos. Mas é uma solução”."Date

Banking Flows and Financial Crisis : Financial Interconnectedness and Basel III EffectsGhosh, Swati R.; Sugawara, Naotaka; Zalduendo, Juan (2012-03-19)This paper examines the factors that
 determine banking flows from advanced economies to emerging
 markets. In addition to the usual determinants of capital
 flows in terms of global push and local pull factors, it
 examines the role of bilateral factors, such as growth
 differentials and economic size, as well as contagion
 factors and measures of the depth in financial
 interconnectedness between lenders and borrowers. The
 analysis finds profound differences across regions. In
 particular, in spite of the severe impact of the global
 financial crisis, banking flows in emerging Europe stand out
 as a more stable region than is the case in other developing
 regions. Assuming that the determinants of banking flows
 remain unchanged in the presence of structural changes, the
 authors use these results to explore the short-term
 implications of Basel III capital regulations on banking
 flows to emerging markets.

Patterns of International Capital RaisingsLevine, Ross; Schmukler, Sergio L.; Gozzi, Juan Carlos (World Bank, Washington, DC, 2008-08)This paper documents several new
 patterns associated with firms issuing securities in foreign
 markets that motivate the need for and help guide future
 research. Besides noting that these international capital
 raisings grew almost four-fold from 1991 to 2005, accounting
 for 35 percent of all capital raised through security
 issuances, the paper has three main findings. First, a large
 and growing fraction of capital raisings, especially debt
 issuances, occurs in international markets, but a very small
 number of firms accounts for the bulk of international
 capital raisings, highlighting the distributional
 implications of financial globalization. Second, changes in
 firm performance following equity and debt issuances in
 international markets are qualitatively similar to those
 following domestic issuances, suggesting that capital
 raisings abroad are not intrinsically different from
 domestic ones. Third, after firms start accessing
 international markets, they significantly increase the
 amount raised in domestic markets, suggesting that
 international and domestic markets are complements.

Does Foreign Portfolio Investment Reach Small Listed Firms?Knill, April M. (World Bank, Washington, DC, 2012-05-31)Using a unique dataset, the author examines the impact of foreign portfolio investment on the capital issuance behavior of small listed firms. The author finds that foreign portfolio investment is associated with an increased probability of small firm security issuance in all nations, regardless of property rights development. Evidence suggests the mechanism by which this occurs is a freeing up of capital in domestic markets when large firms utilize the foreign investment directly. Debt levels in nations where property rights are more developed increase, suggesting that foreign portfolio investment may reach small firms through the banking channel as well as capital markets in these nations.
