Developing Functional Networks of Frontier Capital Markets

Abstract

Examining the structure, dynamics, and unique characteristics of a capital market network in which it operates is vital to understanding how capital markets evolve. The study of frontier capital markets provides a unique opportunity to examine the network-based intersection of human behavior and economics. Little is understood about the individual and functional networks in capital markets in the worlds less-developed countries. These markets, often termed frontier markets, are ones in which social connections play a more critical role than in developed capital markets. Vibrant capital markets enable developing economies to attract the domestic and international investment needed to support entrepreneurs and expand economic opportunities.
