Although such crises-the Latin American debt crisis of the 1980's, the speculations on European currencies in the early 1990's, and the ensuing Mexican, South American, and Asian crises-have played a central role in world affairs and continue to occur at an alarming rate, many questions about their causes and effects remain to be answered. In this wide-ranging volume, some of the best minds in economics focus on the historical and theoretical aspects of currency crises to investigate three fundamental issues: What drives currency crises? How should government behavior be modeled? And what are the actual consequences to the real economy? Reflecting the latest thinking on the subject, this offering from the NBER will serve as a useful basis for further debate on the theory and practice of speculative attacks, as well as a valuable resource as new crises loom. 410 0$aConference report (National Bureau of Economic Research) 606 $aCurrency question$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aFinancial crises$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aForeign exchange$xHistory$y20th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCurrency question$xHistory 615 0$aFinancial crises$xHistory 615 0$aForeign exchange$xHistory 676 $a332.4/5 701 $aKrugman$b Paul R$0118463 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910451126303321 996 $aCurrency crises$92221484 997 $aUNINA
