Abstract
Abstract We identify new country characteristics that influence cross‐border equity flows: income inequality, autocracy, and sovereign wealth funds. Using 149 source countries and 34 Organisation for Economic Co‐operation and Development (OECD) host countries for 2002–2013, we find that OECD host countries receive higher foreign portfolio investment (FPI) inflows from source countries with high income inequality and source countries with a sovereign wealth fund, but lower inflows from autocratic source countries. We argue that concentrated wealth in a society, overseas investments for the benefit of future generations, and political regimes influence FPI. These variables have been understudied though they provide valuable indicators for policy makers and investors. We supplement our core analysis with realistic interactions between these new variables and with the increasing importance of tax havens. Our results hold throughout a variety of robustness checks.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
