Abstract
In this paper, we present the approach of Feldstein-Horioka on the mobility of capital and analyze the developments that it has evoked over the years. Though it was developed long ago, the F-H theory has remained very open to different critical approaches that have evolved since Karl Popper's non-naive methodological thinking: the criticism, in parallel with the attempts of consolidation ("immunization") of K Popper. Over the years, these consolidation efforts led this approach to incorporate new econometric methodologies and to partially change its purpose, taking into consideration some external sustainability and other recent factors.
