This paper studies the determinants of sovereign bond yields in nine emerging Asian countries over the period 1994-2012. In the long-run, we first reveal that sovereign bond yields weakly and negatively depends on the changes in public debt. This result is not consistent with the theoretical hypothesis that rising government debt may foster sovereign bond yields through the default risk. Second, we fail to find out a long-run relationship between potential economic growth and sovereign borrowing costs in emerging Asia. Lastly, this paper evidences the preliminary interventions of emerging Asian authorities in separating government debt management from monetary management.

Using a large panel dataset covering 150 countries over the period 1990-2010, this paper aims to address the question of how financial structure changes when economies are liberalised and access international capital markets. Specifically, in this study, globalisation is characterised not only by trade and financial integration but also by other important aspects, such as social globalisation, political globalisation and cultural globalisation as well. Our empirical results, by and large, support globalisation's impacts on financial structure, which are, however, diverse and strongly depend on the way to measure globalisation and financial structure. The empirical finding also reveals a dynamic change in financial structure after the globalisation process, except the case of low-income countries, in which financial structure seems to be not correlated with either globalisation process or other macroeconomic variables.
