Volatility and Beta during liberalization

Volatility increases in Pre liberalization period (Reason - Markets inefficient) Beta is lower in the pre liberalization period (Logic - ?) Let me know if I have misunderstood anything Thanks…

Volatility of what? In pre liberalization period your market is not integrated with world markets -> correlation with world markets and beta are low

vol of cap flows are lower pre lib then post lib

consumption is less volatile post liberalization

hmm, i thought evidence shows that consumption does not change
