Systemic Liquidity and the Composition of Foreign Investment: Theory and Empirical Evidence Theory and Empirics by Itay Goldstein, Assaf Razin, and Hui Tong February 2021 The key prediction of the model is that countries that have a high probability of an aggregate liquidity crisis will be the source of more FPI and less FDI. The intuition is that as the probability of an aggregate liquidity shock increases, agents know that they are more likely to need to sell the investment early, in which case, if they hold FDI, they will get a low price since buyers do not know whether they sell because of an individual liquidity need or because of adverse information on the productivity of the investment. As a result, the attractiveness of FDI decreases, and the ratio of FPI to FDI increases. “ Imagine a large pany that has many relatively small , each shareholder faces the following wellknown freerider problem:if the shareholder does something to improve the quality of management, then the benefits will be enjoyed by all shareholders. Unless the shareholder is altruistic, she will ignore this beneficial effect on other shareholders and so will underinvest in the activity of monitoring or improving management.” Oliver Hart. The Efficiency Advantage The Disadvantage: A Premature Liquidation However, when investors want to sell their investment prematurely, because of a liquidity shock, they will get lower price if they are conceived by the buyer to have more information. Because, other investors know That the seller has information on the Fundamentals and suspect That the sales result from bad prospects of the project Rather than liquidity shortage.
