Book Synopsis External Finance and Adjustment by : Karel Jansen
Download or read book External Finance and Adjustment written by Karel Jansen and published by Springer. This book was released on 1997-12-13 with total page 501 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book studies the impact of different sources of external finance on growth and development in different country contexts. An important finding of the study is that 'success' or 'failure' in the productive use of external and domestic financial resources cannot be explained on the basis of single factors such as external shocks or 'bad' versus 'sound' policies. Rather, they are outcomes of complex interactions between changes in exogenous factors (such as fluctuations in external finance and trade shocks), existing economic structures and the responses to shocks by domestic public and private sector agents. This finding also implies that there are no recipes in economic policy-making which are generally applicable; the 'best' policy has to be designed specifically for each country.
Book Synopsis External Adjustment by : Maurice Obstfeld

Book excerpt: "Gross stocks of foreign assets have increased rapidly relative to national outputs since 1990, and the short-run capital gains and losses on those assets can amount to significant fractions of GDP. These fluctuations in asset values render the national income and product account measure of the current account balance increasingly inadequate as a summary of the change in a country's net foreign assets. Nonetheless, unusually large current account imbalances, especially deficits, should remain high on policymakers' list of concerns, even for the richer and less credit-constrained countries. Extreme imbalances signal the need for large and perhaps abrupt real exchange rate changes in the future, changes that might have undesired political and financial consequences given the incompleteness of domestic and international asset markets. Furthermore, of the two sources of the change in net foreign assets -- the current account and the capital gain on the net foreign asset position -- the former is better understood and more amenable to policy influence. Systematic government attempts to manipulate international asset values in order to change the net foreign asset position could have a destabilizing effect on market expectations"--NBER website
Book Synopsis External Finance in Thailand’s Development by : Karel Jansen
Download or read book External Finance in Thailand’s Development written by Karel Jansen and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-07-27 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1987 and 1990 Thailand experienced double-digit growth, fed by high capital inflows. This made Thailand one of the first developing countries to recover from the recession of the 1980s. Since 1990 growth and capital inflows have continued at a high level. The book makes a detailed study of the macroeconomic impact of capital inflows during recent years and during an earlier period when growth, and capital inflows, were high, in the late 1970s. It is shown that the results of the recent period are more sustainable than those of the earlier period, due to the differences in the nature of capital inflows, in external conditions, and in economic policies.

Download or read book Debt And Disorder written by John Loxley and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-03-13 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most important and controversial challenges feeing the international financial and trading system is the need for developing countries to meet their high and rapidly growing external debt obligations and foreign exchange requirements. Developing countries have suffered major shocks in the form of global recession, high real interest rates, weakened terms of trade, and rising protectionism against their exports. The International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, Western central banks, and private financial institutions are seeking to avoid a collapse of the international financial system, and developing countries are seeking to grow through increased trade and access to external financing. Yet the fragility of current international trade and monetary systems seriously threatens the achievement of both sets of objectives. Professor Loxley integrates the structural adjustment experience of Third World countries with the policies, practices, and relationships of external financial agents in his discussion of options for reforming policy and of the limitations inherent in implementing these reforms.
Book Synopsis The Economics of Imperfect Markets by : Giorgio Calcagnini
Download or read book The Economics of Imperfect Markets written by Giorgio Calcagnini and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-10-22 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a collection of eleven papers concerned with the effects of market imperfections on the decision-making of economic agents and on economic policies that try to correct the inefficient market outcomes due to those imperfections. As a consequence, real and financial imperfections are related : economic decisions are simultaneously affected by imperfections present both in real and financial markets. Notwithstanding the obvious fact that market interdependence is not novel, scholar interests are typically concentrated on the specific relationship among economic decisions originating from particular imperfections. This explains why, in the case of perfect financial markets, we can speak of "the" us.

Book Synopsis Haiti by : International Monetary Fund
Download or read book Haiti written by International Monetary Fund and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2006-12-14 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on Haiti’s overall satisfactory track record and the strength of the program, IMF staff supports the authorities’ request for a new three-year arrangement under the Poverty Reduction and Growth Facility (PRGF). The authorities’ demonstrated political commitment and high degree of ownership will be critical to secure durable success of Haiti’s economic reform strategy. Haiti’s requirements are expected to remain substantial, but the already identified assistance appears adequate to close the gap over the first year of the program. The strategy should include an independent assessment of the financial condition.
Book Synopsis Financial Crises and the Politics of Macroeconomic Adjustments by : Stefanie Walter
Download or read book Financial Crises and the Politics of Macroeconomic Adjustments written by Stefanie Walter and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2013-10-31 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explains why governments respond differently to macroeconomic problems and why necessary reforms are sometimes delayed until a serious financial crisis erupts. It argues that voter vulnerability to different reform strategies varies, and that these vulnerabilities influence the type and timing of governments' policy responses to economic crises. Empirical analyses at both the individual level across a broad range of countries and case studies of national policy responses to financial and economic crises in Asia and Eastern Europe support the argument.
Book Synopsis International Economic Integration by : Franz P. Lang
Download or read book International Economic Integration written by Franz P. Lang and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International economic integration is a topic upon which both academics and policy-makers are focusing a great deal of attention. This has perhaps been most marked in western Europe, given the establishing of the inter nal market and the prospects for an economic and monetary union. In parallel with the movement toward widening and deeping of western European economic integration, we find an increased integration of eastern Europe to world trade and finance as well as regional integration in North America and in East Asia. The book on hand provides a collection of recent research by leading scholars and practicians in this field. It is divided into three parts. The first part deals with some theoretical aspects of international integration, the second and the third part attend to implications of concrete forms of international integration inside and outside Europe. Part I starts with a neoclassical analysis of the impacts of factor-market integration by Franz Peter Lang. He investigates the effects on production level, production structure, demand level and structure of external trade of a "small integration area". Lang shows that the specific welfare effects of factor-market integration can only be realized if and only if external trade (between the integration area and the rest of the world) is increased too.
Book Synopsis Loss-of-Learning and the Post-Covid Recovery in Low-Income Countries by : Mr. Edward F Buffie
Download or read book Loss-of-Learning and the Post-Covid Recovery in Low-Income Countries written by Mr. Edward F Buffie and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2022-02-04 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We analyze the medium-term macroeconomic impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and associated lock-down measures on low-income countries. We focus on the impact over the medium-run of the degradation of health and human capital caused by the pandemic and its aftermath, exploring the trade-offs between rebuilding human capital and the recovery of livelihoods and macroeconomic sustainability. A dynamic general equilibrium model is calibrated to reflect the structural characteristics of vulnerable low-income countries and to replicate key dimensions of the Covid-19 shock. We show that absent significant and sustained external financing, the persistence of loss-of-learning effects on labor productivity is likely to make the post-Covid recovery more attenuated and more expensive than many contemporary analyses suggest.
Book Synopsis Financial Fragility, Debt and Economic Reforms by : Sunanda Sen
Download or read book Financial Fragility, Debt and Economic Reforms written by Sunanda Sen and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-07-27 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present volume articulates a state of concern with the destabilising and the growth retarding effects of current world finance relations. Emphasis laid in this volume on finance is justified, not only in terms of its dominance over real activities in the world economy but also with its influence on the pace of economic reforms in the debt-ridden countries. A large number of essays in this volume deals with the recent pattern of capital flows in the world economy. The latter has been of a high priority in the agenda for research in economics in recent times, especially with tendencies for financial fragility in the major financial markets and the enforcing of the structural adjustment programmes in the developing countries as a part of loan conditionalities. The volume provides a rich analysis of contemporary international finance relations, with individual chapters contributed by reputed economists who have made significant contributions to the literature.
