We also include a dummy variable for Latin America which is one for Argentina, brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, and Venezuela in our sample. This does not affect the significance of any of the governance variables and is itself insignificant in all the exchange rate regressions. The Latin America dummy is negative, with a coefficient of around – 30 in the stock market regressions, but the only effect on governance variables is to make corruption insignificant. Total reserves become positive and significant in the stock market regression; the other results for macroeconomic variables are not affected.
