How effective are capital controls?

Article Abstract:

Most economists remain unconvinced about controls on capital outflows, but the concept of restricting capital inflows has become increasingly popular. The idea of limiting capital mobility as a way of reducing macroeconomic instability has featured in policy discussions for many years. Research in this area has focused on Chile, highlighting how controls on capital inflows have had an impact on the composition of capital flows, the behaviour of exchange rates and the country's monetary policy and macroeconomic instability. It is clear that controls on capital inflows are not sufficient to abolish financial instability.
