To show how the general theory can be applied in practice, the authors give a unified description of the waves in all important physical systems which are traditionally studied in the mechanics of continuous media, electrodynamics, plasma physics, electronics and physical kinetics. Consideration is also given to the interaction of waves in coupled systems, the propagation and evolution of localized w 606 $aWave-motion, Theory of 606 $aWaves 606 $aDispersion 606 $aLinear systems 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aWave-motion, Theory of. 615 0$aWaves. 615 0$aDispersion. 615 0$aLinear systems. 676 $a531.1133 700 $aKuzelev$b M.

The results suggest that international reserves have played a role in buffering external shocks, with the resulting macroeconomic costs varying with the nature of the shock, the economy's structural characteristics, and the level of reserves. 410 0$aIMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;$vNo. 2012/007 606 $aForeign exchange reserves$zDeveloping countries 606 $aFinance, Public$zDeveloping countries 606 $aBanks and Banking$2imf 606 $aExports and Imports$2imf 606 $aMacroeconomics$2imf 606 $aMacroeconomic Analyses of Economic Development$2imf 606 $aOpen Economy Macroeconomics$2imf 606 $aDevelopment Planning and Policy: Trade Policy$2imf 606 $aFactor Movement$2imf 606 $aForeign Exchange Policy$2imf 606 $aMonetary Policy$2imf 606 $aEmpirical Studies of Trade$2imf 606 $aTrade: General$2imf 606 $aMacroeconomics: Consumption$2imf 606 $aSaving$2imf 606 $aWealth$2imf 606 $aInternational Investment$2imf 606 $aLong-term Capital Movements$2imf 606 $aInternational economics$2imf 606 $aBanking$2imf 606 $aFinance$2imf 606 $aInternational reserves$2imf 606 $aTerms of trade$2imf 606 $aImports$2imf 606 $aConsumption$2imf 606 $aForeign direct investment$2imf 606 $aForeign exchange reserves$2imf 606 $aEconomic policy$2imf 606 $anternational cooperation$2imf 606 $aEconomics$2imf 606 $aInvestments, Foreign$2imf 606 $aNternational cooperation$2imf 615 0$aForeign exchange reserves 615 0$aFinance, Public 615 7$aBanks and Banking 615 7$aExports and Imports 615 7$aMacroeconomics 615 7$aMacroeconomic Analyses of Economic Development 615 7$aOpen Economy Macroeconomics 615 7$aDevelopment Planning and Policy: Trade Policy 615 7$aFactor Movement 615 7$aForeign Exchange Policy 615 7$aMonetary Policy 615 7$aEmpirical Studies of Trade 615 7$aTrade: General 615 7$aMacroeconomics: Consumption 615 7$aSaving 615 7$aWealth 615 7$aInternational Investment 615 7$aLong-term Capital Movements 615 7$aInternational economics 615 7$aBanking 615 7$aFinance 615 7$aInternational reserves 615 7$aTerms of trade 615 7$aImports 615 7$aConsumption 615 7$aForeign direct investment 615 7$aForeign exchange reserves 615 7$aEconomic policy 615 7$anternational cooperation 615 7$aEconomics 615 7$aInvestments, Foreign 615 7$aNternational cooperation 676 $a332.1 801 0$bDcWaIMF 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910958557703321 996 $aInternational Reserves in Low Income Countries$94372435 997 $aUNINA
