Abstract

The bilateral foreign portfolio equities among Euro area members have shrunk by 40 percent after 2007. While both the financial crisis and the enlargement are potentially responsible of this abrupt and persistent contraction in financial integration, our work detects a major role for the crisis. The deterioration of the control of corruption mechanisms in Euro periphery economies during the crisis is recognized as a potential driver of this shrinkage.

Keywords: stock market integration; common currency; EMU enlargement
