A Primer on Emerging-Market Crises -- Contributors -- Author Index -- Subject IndexEconomists and policymakers are still trying to understand the lessons recent financial crises in Asia and other emerging market countries hold for the future of the global financial system. In this timely and important volume, distinguished academics, officials in multilateral organizations, and public and private sector economists explore the causes of and effective policy responses to international currency crises. Topics covered include exchange rate regimes, contagion (transmission of currency crises across countries), the current account of the balance of payments, the role of private sector investors and of speculators, the reaction of the official sector (including the multilaterals), capital controls, bank supervision and weaknesses, and the roles of cronyism, corruption, and large players (including hedge funds). Ably balancing detailed case studies, cross-country comparisons, and theoretical concerns, this book will make a major contribution to ongoing efforts to understand and prevent international currency crises.National Bureau of Economic Research conference report.Currency questionDeveloping countriesCongressesFinancial crisesDeveloping countriesCongressesfinancial crisis, currency, hedge funds, corruption, cronyism, weaknesses, bank supervision, capital controls, multilaterals, speculators, investors, private sector, payments, transmission, contagion, exchange rate regimes, economics, economy, policy, government, finance, regulation, nonfiction, business, emerging markets, asia, trade linkages, vulnerability, malaysia, korea, domestic banks, volatility, interest, g3, chaebol.Currency questionFinancial crises332.4/91724Edwards Sebastian1953-88759Frankel Jeffrey A118986National Bureau of Economic Research.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910782996603321Preventing currency crises in emerging markets3703448UNINA
