Country-specific growth opportunities, within-country heterogeneity, and the role of financial globalization

  • Dong Wook Lee Korea University Business School, Seoul, Korea, The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH, USA
  • Lingxia Sun Korea University Business School, Seoul, Korea
Using data for 53,365 firms from 40 countries over the period of 1991-2012, we examine the extent to which a firm¡¯s growth opportunities are country-specific, with particular focus on its cross-firm difference within a country. We find that country-specific growth opportunities (CSGOs) are much more pronounced in small companies than in large firms. We also find that the CSGOs -- especially those for small firms -- decrease as the country becomes more open financially. The exact opposite pattern exists in the industry-specific components in corporate growth options, as they increase with the country¡¯s financial openness, especially for small firms. The results indicate that financial globalization helps corporate growth opportunities to be priced globally than locally and reduces the within-country heterogeneity.
