Abstract

Many stock markets have or used to have such restrictions. According to Eun and Janakiramanan (1986), foreign investors were only allowed to purchase a limited number of shares of a firm in Finland, France, India, Indonesia, South Korea, Mexico, Spain, and Sweden. In Australia, Canada, Japan, Malaysia, and Norway, limited foreign ownership was employed in selective industries. In addition, Bergström, Rydqvist, and Sellin (1993) reported that a capital-outflow constraint limiting the amount of capital that domestic investors could export was enforced in the United Kingdom until 1979, and in Sweden until 1989. In Ireland, the capital-outflow constraint was still in effect in 1993.
