Zusammenfassung: | ABSTRACT The financial crises in emerging economies during the 1990s and 2000s propelled academia and multilateral institutions to investigate whether the promised benefits of capital account liberalization were being delivered or not. In the course of empirical studies on the subject, many ex ante theoretical assumptions on financial globalization were demystified, and previously unknown risks and dysfunctions began to be evidenced. This article analyzes the main empirical studies on the effects of financial globalization published in the last two decades and shows that the main conventional assumptions that were built to theoretically base the capital account liberalization processes that occurred in the 1980s and 1990s were wrong.
RESUMO As crises financeiras nas economias emergentes durante os anos 1990 e 2000 impulsionaram a academia e as instituições multilaterais a investigar se os benefícios prometidos pela abertura financeira estavam sendo observados. No decorrer de estudos empíricos sobre o tema, diversos pressupostos teóricos formulados exante sobre globalização financeira foram desmistificados, e diversos riscos e disfunções até então desconhecidos começaram a ficar evidentes. Este artigo analisa os principais estudos empíricos mainstream sobre os efeitos da globalização financeira publicados nas últimas duas décadas e mostra que os principais pressupostos convencionais que foram formulados para sustentar teoricamente os processos de liberalização da conta financeira que ocorreram ao longo dos anos 1980 e 1990 estavam equivocados. |
