- Summary:
- Since 1990, major banking and current crises have occurred in many countries throughout the world -- including Mexico and Latin America in 1994-95, East Asia in 1997-98, and Russia and Brazil in 1998 -- with large costs both to the individual countries experiencing the crises and to other nations. As a result, considerable effort has been expended by economists and policymakers to identify the causes of these crises and to design programs with the aim both of preventing similar crises from occurring in the future, and of minimizing the costs when these do occur. These studies have cut across national boundaries, being undertaken by individual researchers and organizations in particular countries, as well as by international institutions.
- Because of the timeliness of the conference and the wide-ranging expertise of the participants, the papers in this book should be of significant interest both to students of financial crises and to domestic and international policymakers.
- Notes:
- Papers presented at a conference held on Sept. 30-Oct. 2, 1999 at the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago and co-sponsored by the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland.
