Topic of thesis: Despite an abundance of studies, there is still little convincing documentation of direct positive impacts of financial opening on growth rates of developing countries. There is evidence that financial opening spurs growth under certain structural pre-conditions. Even if threshold pre-conditions have been identify there is a little work on their relative importance and the trade-offs amongst different thresholds. Only recent studies have tried to put some empirical structure on the concept of threshold conditions. My contribution will be focused on i) develop a threshold measure able to capture the preparedness of a country to undertake the change; ii)capture threshold relationship and eventual trade-offs among different threshold conditions; iii) understand whether the levels of different thresholds have been changing over time and how do circumstances in global financial markets affect the thresholds.
