The empirical strategy is applied to the aggregate holdings of pension funds in a large group of countries to calculate the gains from increasing the current level of exposure to international securities. The methodology should give policy makers the opportunity to identify jurisdictions where pension funds could benefit the most from expanding their foreign holdingsPPN: PPN: 176044684XPackage identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-1-WBA | ZDB-110-WBL | ZDB-110-WBODieser Titel hat keine Exemplare
