Overview: Financial markets are increasingly integrated globally. This paper examines the extent to which firms from different countries rely on alternative sources of capital, the locations where they raise capital, and the factors that affect these choices. During the 1990-2001 periods, firms raised about $25.9 trillion of new capital, including $4.7 trillion from abroad. International debt issuances are substantially more common than equity, accounting for over 90% of the international security issues, and about 20% of all public debt issues. In contrast, international equity issues account for about 4.4% of all international security issues, and about 6% of all equity issues during our sample period.
