Research Papers & Resources



Welcome to International Financial Crises. This page is dedicated the study of financial crises, especially currency and banking crises. It is a part of the International Economics Network.

Since the 1980s, the march of globalisation and concomitant increases in flows of capital and trade have led to high volatility in international financial markets. Some of these have erupted into crises, in the form of runs on banks - both national and multinational - as well as attacks on currencies. Resultant effects have included the significant increase in contagion and the collapse of both venerable private banks as well as national institutions. Whereas research on specific episodes of currency crises are better found elsewhere, this page is more general in nature and collects research on the phenomenon of financial crises.

The literature is constantly expanding, and it can be impossible to maintain an updated list of all contributions in the field. Hence, I would appreciate any suggestions and/or nominations (drop the 'spam' at the end of the address), even if the work should be your own. Given variations in individual judgement and the difficulty in divorcing the different elements of the subject matter, there is necessary some overlap in the (admittedly) artificial taxonomy that has been applied to organise the various works into manageable headings.

The Macroeconomics of Self-Fulfilling Prophecies, 2nd Edition   Recommended!
Farmer, R. (1999)

Abstract: For many years it was fashionable to treat macroeconomics and microeconomics as separate subjects without looking too deeply at the relationship between the two. But in the 1970s there occurred an episode of high inflation and high unemployment, which was inconsistent with orthodox theory. As a result, macroeconomists began to pay much greater attention to the microfoundations of their subject. In this book Roger E. A. Farmer takes a somewhat controversial point of view, arguing for the future of macroeconomics as a branch of applied general equilibrium theory. His main theme is that macroeconomics is best viewed as the study of equilibrium environments in which the welfare theorems break down. This approach makes it possible to discuss the role of government policies in a context in which policy may serve some purpose. Since the publication of the first edition in 1993, self-fulfilling prophecies has become a major competitor to the real business-cycle view of economic fluctuations. The second edition has been updated in three ways: (1) problems are included at the end of every chapter, and a study guide containing sample answers to all of the problems is available; (2) a new chapter discusses research from the past five years on business fluctuations in multisector models; and (3) the chapter on representative agent growth models now includes an appendix that explains the transversality condition.

Asset Price Bubbles: The Implications for Monetary, Regulatory, and International Policies
Hunter, W.C., G.G. Kaufman & M. Pomerleano (editors) (2003)

Financial Crises, Liquidity, and the International Monetary System   Recommended!
Tirole, J. (2002)

Abstract: Once upon a time, economists saw capital account liberalization--the free and unrestricted flow of capital in and out of countries--as unambiguously good. Good for debtor states, good for the world economy. No longer. Spectacular banking and currency crises in recent decades--from Latin America in the early 1980s to Scandinavia a decade later to Mexico, Southeast Asia, Russia, and, quite lately, Argentina--have shattered the consensus. In this remarkably clear and pithy volume, one of Europe's leading economists examines these crises, the reforms being undertaken to prevent them, and how global financial institutions might be restructured to this end. Jean Tirole first analyzes the current views on the crises and on the reform of the international financial architecture. Reform proposals often treat the symptoms rather than the fundamentals, he argues, and sometimes fail to reconcile the objectives of setting effective financing conditions while ensuring that a country "owns" its reform program. A proper identification of market failures is essential to reformulating the mission of an institution such as the IMF, he emphasizes. Next he adapts the basic principles of corporate governance, liquidity provision, and risk management of corporations to the particulars of country borrowing. Building on a "dual- and common-agency perspective," he revisits commonly advocated policies and considers how multilateral organizations can help debtor countries reap enhanced benefits while liberalizing their capital accounts.

Capital Flows and Crises   Recommended!
Eichengreen, B. (2003)

Abstract: The implications of capital mobility for growth and stability are some of the most contentious and least understood contemporary issues in economics. In this book Barry Eichengreen discusses historical, theoretical, empirical, and policy aspects of the effects, both positive and negative, of capital flows. He focuses on the connections between capital flows and crises as well as on those between capital flows and growth. Eichengreen argues that international financial liberalization, like other forms of economic liberalization, can positively affect the efficiency of resource allocation and the rate of economic growth. But analyses of both recent and historical experience also show an undeniable association between capital mobility and crises, especially when domestic institutions are weak and the harmonization of capital account liberalization and other policy reforms is inadequate. In his conclusion, Eichengreen makes suggestions for policy design to maximize the benefits of international financial liberalization while minimizing the risks of financial instability.

From Capital Surges to Drought: Seeking Stability for Emerging Economies   Recommended!
Ffrench-Davis, R. & S. Griffith-Jones (editors) (2004)

Abstract: This book analyzes the new trends in capital flows to emerging markets since the Asian crisis, their determinants and policy implications. It explains why such flows have declined so dramatically in recent years, emphasising both structural and cyclical factors. Senior bankers, regulators, and well-known academics explain the behaviour of different players. The book breaks new ground by showing in detail how such behaviour has contributed to the decline of flows and their volatility. The book suggests what coping mechanisms developing countries could adopt to deal with crisis situations; what measures should be taken at the national and international levels to make recipient countries less vulnerable to international financial instability; how such instability can be reduced; and what can be done on the source countries to encourage larger more stable capital flows to developing countries.

Bailouts or Bail-ins? Responding to Financial Crises in Emerging Economies   Recommended!
Roubini, N. & B. Setser (2004)

Abstract: Roughly once a year, the managing director of the International Monetary Fund, the U.S. treasury secretary and in some cases the finance ministers of other G-7 countries will get a call from the finance minister of a large emerging market economy. The emerging market finance minister will indicate that the country is rapidly running out of foreign reserves, that it has lost access to international capital markets and, perhaps, that is has lost the confidence of its own citizens. Without a rescue loan, it will be forced to devalue its currency and default either on its government debt or on loans to the country’s banks that the government has guaranteed. This book looks at these situations and the options available to alleviate the problem. It argues for a policy that recognizes that every crisis is different and that different cases need to be handled within a framework that provides consistency and predictability to borrowing countries as well as those who invest in their debt.

Crisis Prevention and Prosperity Management for the World Economy: Pragmatic Choices for International Financial Governance I
Bryant, R.C. (2004)

Financial Crises: Lessons from the Past, Preparation for the Future   Recommended!   CONFERENCE VOLUME
Caprio, G., J.A. Hanson & R.E. Litan (editors) (2005)

Abstract: Throughout the 1990s, numerous financial crises rocked the world financial sector. The Asian bubble burst, for example; Argentina and Brazil suffered currency crises; and the post-Soviet economy bottomed out in Russia. In Financial Crises, a distinguished group of economists and policy analysts examine and draw lessons from attempts to recover from past crises. They also consider some potential hazards facing the world economy in the 21st century and discuss ways to avoid them and minimize the severity of any future downturn.

Dasgupta, A. (2001)

Abstract: Financial contagion is modeled as an equilibrium phenomenon in a dynamic setting with incomplete information and multiple banks. The equilibrium probability of bank failure is uniquely determined. We explore how the cross holding of deposits motivated by imperfectly correlated regional liquidity shocks can lead to contagious effects conditional on the failure of a financial institution. We show that contagious bank failure occurs with positive probability in the unique equilibrium of the economy and demonstrate that the presence of such contagion risk can lead to endogenously incomplete insurance against liquidity shocks.

Bank Concentration and Crises | Alternative | Published   ScienceDirect Required   Recommended!
Beck, T., A. Demirgüç-Kunt, and R. Levine (2003/06)

Abstract: Motivated by public policy debates about bank consolidation and conflicting theoretical predictions about the relationship between the market structure of the banking industry and bank fragility, this paper studies the impact of bank concentration, bank regulations, and national institutions on the likelihood of suffering a systemic banking crisis. Using data on 70 countries from 1980 to 1997, we find that crises are less likely in economies with (i) more concentrated banking systems, (ii) fewer regulatory restrictions on bank competition and activities, and (iii) national institutions that encourage competition.

Systematic Financial Distress: Containment and Resolution   Recommended!   CONFERENCE VOLUME
Various Authors (2003)

Abstract: The resolution of a systemic financial crisis involves many policy choices ranging from macroeconomic (including monetary and fiscal policy) to microeconomic (including recapitalization of financial institutions, closure, capital adequacy rules and corporate governance requirements), with reforms varying in depth. These choices involve tradeoffs, including the amount of government resources needed to resolve the crisis, the speed of recovery, and the recovery’s sustainability. Despite considerable analysis, these tradeoffs are not well known—an oversight that leads to conflicting policy advice and larger than necessary economic costs. Even less is known about the political economy factors that make governments choose certain policies. Policies enacted during crises importantly shape the financial sector and have important long-term impact on financial sector development. The objective of this conference on “Systemic Financial Distress: Containment and Resolution” is to discuss and add to existing knowledge about the tradeoffs involved in policies related to systemic financial restructuring and to review how policies have been used. The conference complements the World Bank’s Global Bank Insolvency Initiative where the focus is more on the legal and institutional aspects of bank insolvency, not necessarily being of systemic importance. The conference proceedings will be published in a book.

International Financial Crises   Recommended!   Adobe Acrobat Required
Dornbusch, R. & S. Fischer (2003)

Abstract: Our friend and colleague Rudiger Dornbusch passed away before he was able to complete his book based on the Munich Lectures in Economics that he gave in November 17, 1998, at the Center for Economic Studies of Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitaet. The lectures contain a fascinating overview of the mechanics and history of international financial crises showing the breadth and ingenuity of this eminent scholar. The lectures were lively and provocative, full of important insights and observations. Interestingly enough, Dornbusch expressed a substantial mistrust in the actions of political decision makers, supervisory agencies and central banks in the game that leads to the crisis and even collapse of financial systems, and he advocated supranational supervisory actions as a remedy. CES has decided to prepare a transcript of the lectures, which are also available in the Internet as full length-videos. I am grateful to Paul Kremmel for his assistance.

Financial Development and the Instability of Open Economies | Published   Recommended!   ScienceDirect Required
Aghion, P., P. Bacchetta & A. Banerjee (2004)

Abstract: This paper introduces a framework for analyzing the role of financial factors as a source of instability in small open economies. Our basic model is a dynamic open economy model with a tradeable good produced with capital and a country-specific factor. We also assume that firms face credit constraints, with the constraint being tighter at a lower level of financial development. A basic implication of this model is that economies at an intermediate level of financial development are more unstable than either very developed or very underdeveloped economies. This is true both in the sense that temporary shocks have large and persistent effects and also in the sense that these economies can exhibit cycles. Thus, countries that are going through a phase of financial development may become more unstable in the short run. Similarly, full capital account liberalization may destabilize the economy in economies at an intermediate level of financial development: phases of growth with capital inflows are followed by collapse with capital outflows. On the other hand, foreign direct investment does not destabilize.

Slow Recoveries
Bergoeing, R., N. Loayzaw & A. Repetto (2004)

Abstract: Economies respond differently to aggregate shocks that reduce output. While some countries rapidly recover their pre-crisis trend, others stagnate. Recent studies provide empirical support for a link between aggregate growth and plant dynamics through its effect on productivity: the entry and exit of firms and the reallocation of resources from less to more efficient firms explain a relevant part of transitional productivity dynamics. In this paper we use a stochastic general equilibrium model with heterogeneous firms to study the effect on aggregate short-run growth of policies that distort the process of birth, growth and death of firms, as well as the reallocation of resources across economic units. Our findings show that indeed policies that alter plant dynamics can explain slow recoveries. We also find that output losses associated to delayed recoveries are large.

Currency mismatch, uncertainty and debt maturity structure   Recommended!   Acrobat Required
Bussière, M., M. Fratzscher & W. Koeniger (2004)

Abstract: The academic literature has so far little to say about the underlying causes of the large structural asset and liability imbalances of emerging markets that frequently contributed to financial crises. The aim of the paper is to contribute to filling this gap by proposing a theoretical model that links currency and maturity mismatches with real volatility in the economy. We show that if (i) a significant share of the debt is denominated in foreign currency-creating a currency mismatch- and (ii) borrowing is constrained by solvency, then currency mismatch can create and exacerbate a maturity mismatch. An important feature of the model is that higher economic or political uncertainty tightens solvency constraints and tilts the debt profile towards short term debt, thereby increasing the volatility of output. Taking the model implications to the data, we find empirical support for the model’s predictions using data for 28 emerging market economies.

Gupta, P. (2005)

Abstract: This paper models the effects of a banking crisis, and in particular distinguishes between a short-term crisis, such as a banking panic, and a longer-term crisis, such as a banking insolvency. Using an optimizing framework, it shows that depositors shift from deposits into cash in both types of crises, which results in an increase in the interest rates on deposits and loans, and a contraction in output and consumption. However, when the crisis is resolved in a finite time period, there is an intertemporal substitution of consumption, and consumption is postponed until the crisis is resolved. This in turn results in a further decline in the demand for money, availability of credit and output.

Money and Modern Banking without Bank Runs   Recommended!
Skeie, D.R. (2006)

Abstract: In the literature, bank runs take the form of withdrawals of real demand deposits that deplete a fixed reserve of goods in the banking system. However, in a modern banking system, large withdrawals take the form of electronic payments that shift balances among banks within a clearinghouse system, with no analog of a depletion of a scarce reserve. In a model of nominal demand deposits repayable in money within a clearinghouse, the author shows that interbank lending and monetary prices imply that traditional bank runs do not occur. This finding suggests that deposit insurance may not be needed to prevent bank runs in a modern economy.

Balance of Payments Crises

A Model of Balance-of-Payments Crises   Recommended!   JSTOR Required
Krugman, P.R. (1979)

Abstract: This is the seminal paper on the analysis of balance-of-payments crises.

Balance of Payments Crises in a Cash-in-Advance Economy   Recommended!   JSTOR Required
Calvo, G.A. (1987)

Abstract: The author shows that a flexible-prices, Sidrauski-type model with a cash-in-advance constraint is capable of depicting some of the phenomena associated with a balance of payments crisis, like the onesrecently observed in Argentina and Mexico (current-accounts deficits,and appreciation of the real exchange rat e). It is also shown that these phenomena become exacerbated as the rate of devaluation (before the crisis occurs) becomes smaller.

Explaining Sudden Stop, Growth Collapse, and BOP crisis   Recommended!   Adobe Acrobat Required
Calvo, G. (2002)

Abstract: The paper discusses a model in which growth is a negative function of fiscal burden. Moreover, growth discontinuously switches from high to low as fiscal burden reaches a critical level. Growth collapse is associated with a sudden stop of capital inflows, real depreciation and a drop in output (driven by a fall in the output of nontradables)—all of which have occurred during recent financial crises in emerging markets. The monetary version of the model is employed to show that balance of payments (BOP) crises could be a result of fiscal distortions. In par-ticular, it is further argued that BOP crisis could be a justifiable central bank response to growth col-lapse, although realistic circumstances may make this response highly ineffective. An important policy implication of the model is that in order to avoid sudden stop crises, policymakers should aim at improving fiscal institutions. Lowering the fiscal deficit is highly effective in the medium term, but could be counterproductive in the short run if it relies on higher taxes.

Credit, Prices, and Crashes: Business Cycles with a Sudden Stop   Recommended!
Mendoza, E.G. (2001)

Abstract: The 1990s emerging-markets crises were characterized by sudden reversals in inflows of foreign capital followed by unusually large declines in current account deficits, private expenditures, production, and prices of nontradable goods relative to tradables. This paper shows that these Sudden Stops can be the outcome of the equilibrium dynamics of a flexible-price economy with imperfect credit markets. Foreign debt is denominated in units of tradables and a liquidity constraint links credit-market access to the income generated in the nontradables sector and the relative price of nontradables. Sudden Stops occur when real shocks of foreign or domestic origin, or policy-induced shocks make this constraint binding. Sudden Stops are not reflected in long-run business cycle statistics but still they entail nontrivial welfare costs. These results question crises-management policies seeking to impose direct controls on private capital flows and favor those that work to weaken credit frictions.

Temporary Controls on Capital Inflows
Reinhart, C.M. & R.T. Smith (2001)

The Quality of Bureaucracy and Capital Account Policies   Recommended!
Bai, C.E. & S.J. Wei (2001)

Abstract: The extent of bureaucracy varies widely across countries. However, the quality of bureaucracy within a country evolves more slowly than economic policies---such as the imposition of capital controls---which can be implemented quickly. This paper presents the possibility that the quality of bureaucracy may be an important structural determinant of open-economy macro-policies. The imposition/removal of capital controls, in particular, may be one such consequence. We derive a model that delivers such a result. It shows that bureaucratic corruption translates into the reduced ability of government to collect tax revenue. Even if capital control/financial repression is otherwise inefficient, the government still has to rely on capital control/financial repression to raise revenue for public goods provision. For all countries for which we can obtain relevant data, we find that more corrupt countries are indeed more likely to impose capital controls, a pattern consistent with the model’s prediction. To deal with possible reverse causality we use the extent of corruption in a country’s judicial system and the degree of democracy as the instrumental variables (IV) for bureaucratic corruption. The IV regressions show more corrupt countries are associated with more severe capital controls. The results suggest that a premature removal of capital controls mandated by outside institutions could reduce rather than enhance economic efficiency.

Contagion

Contagious Speculative Attacks   Recommended!   ScienceDirect Required
Gerlach,. S. & F. Smets (1995)

Abstract: During the European exchange market turmoil in 1992–1993 it was evident that speculative attacks tended to spread across currencies. Using a two-country version of the model developed by Flood and Garber (1984) we show how a speculative attack against one currency may accelerate the 'warranted' collapse of a second parity. More importantly, even if the parity of the second currency is viable in the absence of a collapse of the first one, it might be subjected to a speculative attack if the reserves available to defend the parity are 'small'.

Contagion and Trade: Why Are Currency Crises Regional?   Recommended!   Acrobat Required
Glick, R. & A.K. Rose (1998)

Abstract: Currency crises tend to be regional; they affect countries in geographic proximity. This suggests that patterns of international trade are important in understanding how currency crises spread, above and beyond any macroeconomic phenomena. We provide empirical support for this hypothesis. Using data for five different currency crises (in 1971, 1973, 1992, 1994, and 1997) we show that currency crises affect clusters of countries tied together by international trade. By way of contrast, macroeconomic and financial influences are not closely associated with the cross-country incidence of speculative attacks. We also show that trade linkages help explain cross-country correlations in exchange market pressure during crisis episodes, even after controlling for macroeconomic factors.

On Crises, Contagion, and Confusion   Recommended!
Kaminsky, G. & C. Reinhart (1999)

Abstract: Since the Tequila crisis of 1994-95, the Asian flu of 1997, and the Russian virus of 1998, economists have been busy producing research on the subject of contagion. Yet, few studies have examined empirically through which channels the disturbances are transmitted if there are, indeed, fundamental reasons for the spillovers we observe. We attempt to fill this gap by analyzing how both trade links and the largely ignored financial sector links influence the pattern of fundamentals-based contagion. We examine the role of international bank lending, the potential for cross-market hedging, and bilateral and third-party trade in the propagation of crises.

Correlation Analysis of Financial Contagion: What One Should Know Before Running a Test   Acrobat Required
Corsetti, G., M. Pericoli & M. Sbracia (2001)

Abstract: This paper builds a general test of contagion in financial markets based on bivariate correlation analysis - a test that can be interpreted as an extension of the normal correlation theorem. Contagion is defined as a structural break in the data generating process of rates of return. Using a factor model of returns as theoretical framework, we nest leading contributions in the literature as special cases of our test. We show that, while the literature on correlation analysis of contagion is successful in controlling for a potential bias induced by changes in the variance of global shocks, current tests are conditional on a specific yet arbitrary assumption about the variance of country specific shocks. Our results suggest that, for a number of pairs of country stock markets, the hypothesis of 'no contagion' can be rejected only if the variance of country specific shocks is set to levels that are not consistent with the evidence.

Ellison, M., L. Graham & J. Vilmunen (2005/06)

Abstract: In this paper, we develop a model which explains why events in one market may trigger similar events in other markets, even though at first sight the markets appear to be only weakly related. We allow for multiple equilibria and learning dynamics in each market, and show that a jump between equilibria in one market is contagious because it more than doubles the probability of a similar jump in another market. We claim that contagion is strong since equilibrium jumps become highly synchronized across markets. Spillovers are weak because the instantaneous spillover of events from one market to another is small. To illustrate our result, we demonstrate how a currency crisis may be contagious with only weak links between countries. Other examples where weak spillovers would create strong contagion are various models of monetary policy, imperfect competition and endogenous growth.

Currency Crises

Fiscal Deficits, Exchange Rate Crises and Inflation
van Wijnbergen, S. (1987)

The Logic of Currency Crises   Recommended!
Obstfeld, M. (1994)

Abstract: In this paper it is argued that on cannot adequately understand the recent European currency experience in terms of Krugman's (1979) model. Instead, I present two different models in which crisis and realignment result from the interaction of rational private economic actors and a government that pursues well-defined policy goals.

Mexico's balance-of-payments crisis: a chronicle of death foretold   Recommended!
Calvo, G.A. & E. Mendoza (1994)

Abstract: This paper claims that the roots of Mexico's balance-of-payments crisis are found in the prevailing high degree of capital mobility and financial globalization. Under these circumstances, shifts in foreign capital flows and anticipation of a banking system bailout may produce large imbalances between stocks of financial assets and foreign reserves, threatening the sustainability of currency pegs. Econometric analysis suggests that half of Mexico's reserve losses could be accounted for by these phenomena. Large financial imbalances are also fertile ground for self-sulfilling prophesy crises which lead devaluations to produce deep recessions. These difficulties can be partly remedied by appropriate policies.

Paper Tigers? A Model of the Asian Crisis   Recommended!
Corsetti, G., P. Pesenti & N. Roubini (1998)

Abstract: This paper develops an interpretation of the Asian meltdown focused on moral hazard as the common source of overinvestment, excessive external borrowing, and current account deficits. To the extent that foreign creditors are willing to lend to domestic agents against future bail-out revenue from the government, unprofitable projects and cash shortfalls are re-financed through external borrowing. While public deficits need not be high before a crisis, the eventual refusal of foreign creditors to refinance the country's cumulative losses forces the government to step in and guarantee the outstanding stock of external liabilities. To satisfy solvency, the government must then undertake appropriate domestic fiscal reforms, possibly involving recourse to seigniorage revenues. Expectations of inflationary financing thus cause a collapse of the currency and anticipate the event of a financial crisis. The empirical section of the paper presents evidence in support of the thesis that weak cyclical performances, low foreign exchange reserves, and financial deficiencies resulting into high shares of non-performing loans were at the core of the Asian collapse.

The Economics of Currency Crises and Contagion: An Introduction   REVIEW PAPER   Recommended!
Pesenti, P. and C. Tille (1999)

Abstract: Two theories of the causes of currency crises prevail in the economic literature. The first traces currency instability to countries' structural imbalances and weak policies; the second identifies arbitrary shifts in market expectations as the principal source of instability. The authors of this article contend that only a synthesis of these theories can capture the complexity of the 1997-98 Asian currency crisis. In their view, the crisis resulted from the interaction of structural weaknesses and volatile international capital markets. The authors also cite two other factors that contributed to the severity of the Asia crisis: inadequate supervision of the banking and financial sectors and the rapid transmission of the crisis across countries linked by trade and common credit sources.

Shin, H.S., G. Corsetti, A. Dasgupta & S. Morris (2001)

Abstract: Do large investors increase the vulnerability of a country to speculative attacks in the foreign exchange markets? To address this issue, we build a model of currency crises where a single large investor and a continuum of small investors independently decide whether to attack a currency based on their private information about fundamentals. Even abstracting from signaling, the presence of the large investor does make all other traders more aggressive in their selling. Relative to the case in which there is no large investors, small investors attack the currency when fundamentals are stronger. Yet, the difference can be small, or null, depending on the relative precision of private information of the small and large investors. Adding signaling makes the influence of the large trader on small traders' behaviour much stronger.

Global Games: Theory and Applications   Recommended!   Adobe Acrobat Required!
Morris, S. (2001)

Abstract: Global games are games of incomplete information whose type space is determined by the players each observing a noisy signal of the underlying state. With strategic complementarities, globals games often have a unique, dominance-solvable equilibrium, allowing analysis of a number of models of economic coordination failure. For symmetric binary action global games, equilibrium strategies in the limit (as noise becomes negligible) are simple to characterize in terms of 'diffuse' beliefs over the actions of others. We describe a number of economic applications that fall in this category. We also explore the distinctive roles of public and private information in this setting, review results for general global games, discuss the relationship between global games and a literature in higher order beliefs in game theory and describe the relationship to local interaction games and dynamic games with payoff shocks.

Aizenman, J., K.M. Kletzer & B. Pinto (2002)

Abstract: This paper argues that the frequent failure of the debt swaps is not an accident. Instead, it follows from fundamental forces driven by the market's assessment of the scarcity of fiscal revenue relative to the demand for fiscal outlays. It follows from the observation that arbitrage forces systematically impact prices in asset markets. Ignoring these price adjustments would lead to too optimistic an assessment of the gains from swaps or buybacks. A by-product of our paper is to highlight the perils of financial engineering that ignores the intertemporal constraints imposed by fiscal fundamentals. As a country approaches the range of partial default (either on domestic or external debt), swaps may not provide the expected breathing room and could even bring the crisis forward. Our methodology combines three independent themes: exchange rate crises as the manifestation of excessive monetary injections [Krugman-Flood-Garber], the fiscal theory of inflation [Sargent-Wallace (1981)], and sovereign debt. The integrated framework derives devaluation and external debt repudiation as part of a public-finance optimizing problem. We shows that under conditions similar to those which prevailed in Russia and Argentina prior to their meltdown, swaps are not just neutral, but could actually make the situation worse and even trigger a speculative attack. An unsettlingly clear implication of the model is that there may be very few options left once public debt reaches levels regarded as unsustainable in relation to fiscal fundamentals. Dollarization only makes matters worse, and pushes the debt write-down option to the fore.

Abstract: Recent currency crises have focused attention on models of currency crises. Although many models exist, few focus on intermediate exchange rate systems, and fewer describe the interplay between regime choice and vulnerability to crisis. This paper embeds a target zone model (typifying many intermediate regimes) into a first-generation currency crisis model. This paper shows that an inverted S-curve (where a targeted exchange rate is more volatile than its underlying fundamentals) is generally inconsistent with a viable target zone because such a regime would collapse upon speculative attack. This paper describes conditions where a policymaker could ensure a target zone would weakly stabilize exchange rates and thereby maintain short-run viability.

Varieties of Currency Crises | Published   Recommended!   ScienceDirect Required
Kaminsky, G.L. (2004)

Abstract: The plethora of currency crises around the world has fueled many theories on the causes of speculative attacks. The first-generation models focus on fiscal problems. The second-generation models emphasize countercyclical policies and self-fulfilling crises. In the 1990s, models pinpoint to financial excesses. With the crisis of Argentina in 2001, models of sovereign default have become popular again. While the theoretical literature has emphasized variety, the empirical literature has supported the one size fits all' models. This paper contributes to the empirical literature by assessing whether the crises of the last thirty years are of different varieties. Crises are found to be of six varieties. Four of those varieties are associated with domestic economic fragility. But crises can also be provoked by just adverse world market conditions, such as the reversal of international capital flows. The so-called sudden-stop phenomenon identifies the fifth variety of crises. Finally, a small number of crises occur in economies with immaculate fundamentals but this type of crises is not an emerging-market phenomenon.

Controlling Currency Mismatches in Emerging Markets   Recommended!
Goldstein, M. & P. Turner (2004)

Abstract: In most of the currency crises of the 1990s, the largest output falls have occurred in those emerging economies with large currency mismatches, a phenomenon that occurs when assets and liabilities are denominated in different currencies such that net worth is sensitive to changes in the exchange rate. The authors summarize what is known about the origins of currency mismatching in emerging economies, discuss how best to define and measure currency mismatching, and review policy options for reducing the problem.

Pavan, A., G.M. Angeletos & C. Hellwig (2004/07)

Abstract: This paper examines how the dynamics of information influences the dynamics of coordination in an environment with strategic complementarities and heterogeneous expectations. We consider a simple dynamic global game of regime change, in which the status quo is abandoned when a sufficiently large fraction of agents attacks it. Applications include bank runs, currency crises, revolutions, and political reforms. We show that the occurrence of coordinated attacks and the timing of regime change depend, not only on the evolution of information, but also on arbitrary self-fulfilling expectations. Despite the indeterminacy in short-run dynamics, long-run outcomes are driven by fundamentals: There is a unique threshold below which regime change is inevitable in the long run. Moreover, all equilibrium paths are characterized by the succession of short phases of high risk of a crisis and long phases of tranquility, which may explain why phenomena such as speculative attacks and revolutions appear as spikes in economic or social activity.

The Unsustainable US Current Account Position Revealed   Recommended!
Obstfeld, M. & K. Rogoff (2004)

Abstract: We show that the when one takes into account the global equilibrium ramifications of an unwinding of the US current account deficit, currently estimated at 5.4% of GDP, the potential collapse of the dollar becomes considerably larger--more than 50% larger--than our previous estimates (Obstfeld and Rogoff 2000a). That global capital markets may have deepened (as emphasized by US Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan) does not affect significantly the extent of dollar decline in the wake of global current account adjustment. Rather, the dollar adjustment to global current account rebalancing depends more centrally on the level of goods-market integration. Whereas the dollar's decline may be benign as in the 1980s, we argue that the current conjuncture more closely parallels the early 1970s, when the Bretton Woods system collapsed. Finally, we use our model to dispel some common misconceptions about what kinds of shifts are needed to help close the US current account imbalance. Faster growth abroad helps only if it is relatively concentrated in nontradable goods; faster productivity growth in foreign tradable goods is more likely to exacerbate the US adjustment problem.

Contractionary Currency Crashes in Developing Countries | Published   Recommended!
Frankel, J.A. (2005)

Abstract: To update a famous old statistic: a political leader in a developing country is almost twice as likely to lose office in the six months following a currency crash as otherwise. This difference, which is highly significant statistically, holds regardless of whether the devaluation takes place in the context of an IMF program. Why are devaluations so costly? Many of the currency crises of the last 10 years have been associated with output loss. Is this, as alleged, because of excessive reliance on raising the interest rate as a policy response? More likely it is because of contractionary effects of devaluation. There are various possible contractionary effects of devaluation, but it is appropriate that the balance sheet effect receives the most emphasis. Pass-through from exchange rate changes to import prices in developing countries is not the problem: this coefficient fell in the 1990s, as a look at some narrowly defined products shows. Rather, balance sheets are the problem. How can countries mitigate the fall in output resulting from the balance sheet effect in crises? In the shorter term, adjusting promptly after inflows cease is better than procrastinating by shifting to short-term dollar debt, which raises the costliness of the devaluation when it finally comes. In the longer term, greater openness to trade reduces vulnerability to both sudden stops and currency crashes.

Macroeconomic Regime Switches and Speculative Attacks | Published   Recommended!   Acrobat Required   ScienceDirect Required
Mackowiak, B. (2006/07)

Abstract: This paper explains a currency crisis as an outcome of a switch in how monetary policy and fiscal policy are coordinated. The paper develops a model of an open economy in which monetary policy starts active, fiscal policy starts passive and, in a particular state of nature, monetary policy switches to passive and fiscal policy switches to active. The probability of the regime switch is endogenous and changes over time together with the state of the economy. The regime switch is preceded by a sharp increase in interest rates and causes a jump in the exchange rate. The model predicts that currency composition of public debt affects dynamics of macroeconomic variables. Furthermore, the model is consistent with evidence from recent currency crises, in particular small seigniorage revenues.

Daniels, T.R., H. Jager & F. Klaassen (2008)

Abstract: While virtually all modern models of exchange rate crises recognise that the decision to abandon an exchange rate peg depends on how harshly policy makers are willing to defend the regime, they virtually never model how the exchange rate is defended. In this paper we incorporate both the mechanics of speculation and a defence policy against speculation in the well-known currency crisis model of Morris and Shin (American Economic Review 88 (1998) 587-97). After adding these natural elements, our model outperforms standard currency crisis models at explaining stylised features of speculative attacks. Moreover, our model connects the theoretical currency crisis literature to an empirical literature on exchange market pressure, by bringing together its building blocks: exchange rate changes plus counter-acting defence policies. We use this connection to confirm our model's predictions empirically.

Goodhart, C.A.E., P. Sunirand & D.T. Tsomocos (2004)

Abstract: The purpose of our work is to explore contagious financial crises. To this end, we use simplified, thus numerically solvable, versions of our general model [Goodhart, Sunirand and Tsomocos (2003)]. The model incorporates heterogeneous agents, banks and endogenous default, thus allowing various feedback and contagion channels to operate in equilibrium. Such a model leads to different results from those obtained when using a standard representative agent model. For example, there may be a trade-off between efficiency and financial stability, not only for regulatory policies, but also for monetary policy. Moreover, agents which have more investment opportunities can deal with negative shocks more effectively by transferring ‘negative externalities’ onto others.

Abstract: The global financial system remains under severe stress as the crisis broadens to include households, corporations, and the banking sectors in both advanced and emerging market countries. In normal times, the Global Financial Stability Report aims to prevent crises by highlighting policies that may mitigate systemic risks, thereby contributing to financial stability and sustained economic growth. In the current crisis, the report traces the sources and channels of financial distress and provides policy advice on mitigating its effects on economic activity, stemming contagion, and mending the global financial system.

Stochastic Optimal Control Modeling of Debt Crises   Recommended!
Stein, J. (2003)

Abstract: What is an optimal or a sustainable external debt - for a country, region or sector? How should one monitor and evaluate debt to preclude a crisis? We use stochastic optimal control/dynamic programming to derive an optimal debt. The deviation of the actual from the optimal will serve as a Warning Signal of a crisis. There is a correspondence between Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation of Dynamic Programming and the static Mean-Variance (M-V) analysis in finance. A graphic analysis of M-V is helpful to explain the implications of DP. An explicit example is the US Agricultural debt crisis.

Twin Crises

The Twin Crises: Causes of Banking and Balance-of-Payments Problems   Recommended!
Kaminsky, G. & C. Reinhart (1999)

Abstract: In the wake of the Mexican and Asian currency turmoil, the subject of financial crises has come to the forefront of academic and policy discussions. This paper analyzes the links between banking and currency crises. We find that: problems in the banking sector typically precede a currency crisis—the currency crisis deepens the banking crisis, activating a vicious spiral; financial liberalization often precedes banking crises. The anatomy of these episodes suggests that crises occur as the economy enters a recession, following a prolonged boom in economic activity that was fueled by credit, capital inflows, and accompanied by an overvalued currency.

Manias, Panics and Crashes: A History of Financial Crises   Recommended!
Kindleberger, C.P. & R.Z. Aliber (2005)

Abstract: Manias, Panics and Crashes is a scholarly and entertaining account of the way that mismanagement of money and credit has led to financial explosions over the centuries. Covering such topics as the history and anatomy of crises, speculative manias, and the lender of last resort, this book has been hailed as 'a true classic...both timely and timeless.' In this new, updated fifth edition, Kindleberger and Aliber expand upon the ideas presented in the previous edition, and include two new chapters on the real estate price bubble that occurred in Norway, Sweden and Finland at the end of the 1980s, and the three asset price bubbles that occurred between 1985 and 2000 in Japan and other Asian countries. Selected as one of the best investment books of all time by the Financial Times, Manias, Panics and Crashes puts the turbulence of the financial world in perspective.

Caporale, G., A. Cipollini & P. Demetriades (2001)

Abstract: This paper evaluates whether a tight monetary policy (i.e., an increase in the domestic interest rate) was successful in defending the exchange rate from speculativepressures during the Asian financial crisis. The empirical analysis applied to five Asian countries utilizes a bivariate VAR model, which is identified by taking intoaccount the heteroscedasticity properties of the time-series of interest, following Sentana and Fiorentini (1999). The empirical evidence shows that tight monetary policy did not help to stabilize the currencies under investigation.

Re-Establishing Credible Nominal Anchors After a Financial Crisis: A Review of Recent Experience   Recommended!
Berg, A., C. Jarvis, M. Stone & A. Zanello (2003)

Abstract: This paper studies the question of how to achieve monetary policy credibility and price stability after a financial crisis. We draw stylized facts and conclusions from ten recent cases: Brazil (1999); Bulgaria (1997); Ecuador (2000); Indonesia (1997); Korea (1997); Malaysia (1997); Mexico (1994), Russia (1998); Thailand (1997); and Turkey (2001). Among our conclusions, highlights include: (i) monetary policy alone cannot stabilize; (ii) floats bring nominal stability quickly in countries with low pre-crisis inflation and hard pegs have been at least narrowly successful for countries in deeper disarray; (iii) in floats, early and determined tightening brings nominal stability and does not appear more costly for output; (iv) monetary aggregate targeting rarely serves as a coherent framework for floats; informal or full-fledged inflation targeting offers more promise.

Investment During the Korean Financial Crisis: A Structural Econometric Approach | Alternative   Recommended!   Acrobat Required
Gilchrist, S. & J.W. Sim (2007)

Abstract: Without capital market imperfections, the capital structure of a firm, including the size, the maturity and the currency composition of debts, should not matter for investment decisions. The Asian financial crises provide a good opportunity to test this hypothesis. We approach the problem in two ways: First, we apply a conventional reduced-form analysis to a panel data of Korean manufacturing firms, arguing that the devaluation that occurred during the crisis provides a natural experiment in which to assess the effect of balance sheet shocks to investment. Second, we use indirect inference to estimate a structural dynamic programming problem of a firm with foreign debts and financial constraints. Both reduced-form evidence and structural parameter estimates imply an important role for finance in investment at the firm level. Counterfactual simulations imply that balance sheet effects may account for 50% to 80% of t he drop in investment during the crisis period. Although our estimates suggest that foreign denominated debt had relatively little effect on aggregate investment spending for the Korean economy during this crisis episode, counterfactual experiments imply sizeable contractions in investment through this mechanism for economies that are more heavily dependent on foreign-denominated debt.
