Abstract

Comparative studies Developing countries Emerging markets LDCs Regression analysis Securities markets
It is argued that emerging security markets, as defined by IFC, have characteristics differentiated from their counterparts in industrialized nations not only due to differential levels of economic development, but also because their origins are more recent. The study develops a positive framework of the qualitative and quantitative features that classifies and predicts the relative development of securities markets across countries. Discriminant and logit analyses using IFC data indicate that the emerging equity markets as a class are dissimilar from developed markets. These findings lend support to the premise that the 2 sets of markets are segmented.
