About this work

Escalating trade tensions between the United States and China triggered a reversal signal in emerging market portfolio flows on August 6, 2019. Gregory Basile and Jonathan Fortun stress that the withdrawal extended broadly across emerging markets. A bilateral trade shock was therefore transmitting through international investment beyond the two economies at its center.
