Asset Fire Sales and Purchases and the International Transmission of Funding Shocks
We identify a new channel for the transmission of shocks across international markets. Investor flows to funds domiciled in developed markets force significant changes in these funds' emerging market portfolio allocations. These forced trades or \"fire sales\" affect emerging market equity prices, correlations, and betas, and are related to but distinct from effects arising purely from fund holdings or from overlapping ownership of emerging markets in fund portfolios. A simple model and calibration exercise highlight the importance to these findings of \"push\" effects from funds' domicile countries and \"co-ownership spillover\" between markets with overlapping fund ownership.

Differences of Opinion and International Equity Markets
We develop an international financial market model in which domestic and foreign residents differ in their beliefs about the information content in public signals. We determine how informational advantages of domestic investors in the interpretation of home public signals affect equity markets. We evaluate the ability of our model to generate four international-finance anomalies: (i) the co-movement of returns and capital flows, (ii) home-equity preference, (iii) the dependence of firm returns on home and foreign factors, and (iv) abnormal returns around foreign firm cross-listing in the home market. Their relationships with empirical differences-of-opinion proxies are consistent with the model.

Does Incomplete Spanning in International Financial Markets Help to Explain Exchange Rates?
We assume that domestic (foreign) agents, when investing abroad, can only trade in the foreign (domestic) risk-free rates. In a preference-free environment, we derive the exchange rate volatility and risk premia in any such incomplete spanning model, as well as a measure of exchange rate cyclicality. We find that incomplete spanning lowers the volatility of exchange rate, increases the risk premia but only by creating exchange rate predictability, and does not affect the exchange rate cyclicality.

How Important Is the Financial Media in Global Markets?
This article studies differences in the information content of 870,000 news announcements in 56 markets around the world. In most developed markets, a firm's stock price moves much more on days with public news about the firm. In contrast, in many emerging markets volatility is similar on news and non-news days. We examine several hypotheses for our findings. Cross-country differences in stock price reactions are best explained by insider trading, followed by differences in the quality of the news dissemination mechanism. Our findings are useful for quantifying the extent of insider trading and how the financial media affects international markets.

RIMS
Understanding the antecedents to, and consequences of, a firm’s degree of internationalization is integral to international business research. In order to be accepted by scholars, empirical research that tests hypotheses regarding drivers and/or consequences of firm internationalization needs to use a valid measure of firm internationalization. In this paper, we develop a new measure, the ratio of international market shares (RIMS); RIMS measures a firm’s degree of conformance to the theoretically grounded characteristics of a maximally internationalized global firm. RIMS is theoretically and empirically compared to three widely used measures of firm internationalization: foreign sales to total sales (FSTS), international diversification, and international scope. Each of the three is shown to have serious limitations while RIMS does not. In addition to being theoretically based, RIMS also has the advantages that it: measures the degree to which a firm has penetrated the rest of the world’s market relative to the degree it has penetrated its primary market; captures the combined effects of the breadth and average depth of internationalization; is easy to calculate; is easy to interpret, and is calculable for more firms than measures of diversification or FSTS. All four measures are tested on a sample of large manufacturing firms.

Entrepreneurial proclivity, capability upgrading and performance advantage of newness among international new ventures
In spite of a notable interest surrounding the learning advantages of newness (LAN), centered on the emergent international entrepreneurship literature, we have only limited understanding of how young international new ventures (INVs) acquire learning advantages and avoid the liabilities of newness and foreignness in order to achieve LAN-related performance from early internationalization. In this article, two related but conceptually distinct capability upgrading constructs - knowledge capability upgrading and network capability upgrading - are identified to serve as mediating mechanisms that link entrepreneurial proclivity and LAN-related performance. Our findings from a sample of 436 young INVs from China provide supporting evidence for the mediating effect of capability upgrading, particularly among relatively larger new ventures and those operating with cost/price advantages in the international marketplace. This study fills a gap in the under-researched area of literature surrounding INVs from emerging economies, and demonstrates how young international venturing firms can leverage the entrepreneurial dynamics of learning to achieve growth opportunities from early internationalization.

International open innovation and international market success: an empirical study of emerging market small and medium-sized enterprises
PurposeThis paper presents a theorization and an empirical analysis of the influences of international open innovation (IOI) on the international market success of emerging market small and medium-sized enterprises (ESMEs). An analysis of the moderating roles played by cross-cultural competencies and digital alliance capabilities in this specific context is also presented.Design/methodology/approachThe study adopted a quantitative research design involving a survey of 231 ESMEs based in the UAE. The authors formulated some hypotheses and tested them by employing hierarchical regression models.FindingsThe findings revealed that IOI positively affects the international market success of ESMEs. The authors further found that both cross-cultural competencies and digital alliance capabilities moderate the relationship between IOI and international market success.Originality/valueThe study advances the international marketing, knowledge and innovation management literature in two ways. First, it is a pioneering study that advances both the theoretical and empirical scholarship regarding the relationship between IOI and emerging market firm international market success by employing an extended resource-based view. Second, it further highlights the role played by cross-cultural competencies and digital alliance capabilities as effective governance mechanisms that moderate the relationship between IOI and international market success.
