[edit]I've re-ordered and removed the extensive repetition, but have a concern that the author has fundamentally misunderstood the subject. I have limited academic economic knowledge, and may be oversimplifying, but IMO the "puzzle" is a classic case of an incorrect assumption, namely that there are no barriers to foreign investment. I've noted the obvious ones in the article (NB this is NOT "Original Research" but statement of well-known facts, many of which appear elsewhere in WP). So why should it be a "puzzle" to senior academic economists, since it appears just to be investors acting rationally? It might just be a case of academic self-gratification, akin to the medieval "angels-on-a-pinhead" dispute. But I think it needs an expert and have so tagged it.
