Fiscal versus Net Capital Flow Concerns Staff Working Paper 2013-21 Joshua Aizenman, Gurnain Pasricha In this paper, we provide empirical evidence on the factors that motivated emerging economies to change their capital outflow controls in recent decades. Liberalization of capital outflow controls can allow emerging-market economies (EMEs) to reduce net capital inflow (NKI) pressures, but may cost their governments the fiscal revenues that external financial repression generates.
