Financial globalization is an aggregate concept that refers to increasing global linkages created through cross-border financial flows. Financial globalization can help developing countries to better manage output and consumption volatility. Indeed, a variety of theories imply that the volatility of consumption relative to that of output should decrease as the degree of financial integration increases; the essence of global financial diversification is that a country is able to shift some of its income risk to world markets. Since most developing countries are rather specialized in their output and factor endowment structures, they can, in theory, obtain even bigger gains than developed countries through international consumption risk sharing that is, by effectively selling off a stake in their domestic output in return for a stake in global output.
