Political Instability and Economic Vulnerability by Mr.Christian B. Mulder,Mr.Matthieu Bussière Pdf

This paper analyzes and tests the influence of political instability on economic vulnerability in the context of the 1994 and 1997 crises episodes. It constructs four political variables that aim at quantifying political instability. The paper finds that for countries with weak economic fundamentals and low reserves, political instability has a strong impact on economic vulnerability. The estimation results suggest that including political variables in economic models does improve their power to explain and predict economic crises. The paper concludes that countries are more economically vulnerable during and especially following election periods, and when election results are less stable than at other times.

On a Hinge of History by Ivan L. Head Pdf

Papers of the meeting held in Argonne, Ill. May, 1988. They cover theorem proving, logic programming, unification, deductive databases, term rewriting, ATP for non-standard logics, and program verification. No index. Long assuming themselves to be invulnerable to events in the developing countries, the industrialized countries are increasingly reaping the spillover of environmental deterioration, economic uncertainty, social turbulence, and political instability in the developing world. Head (retired president, the International Development Research Centre, Ottawa) explores the growing crisis of North-South inequities, and the breadth of its impact.

Economic Growth and Demographic Transition in Third World Nations by Şefika Şule Erçetin,Nilanjan Ray,Saurabh Sen Pdf

This volume presents a new perspective on demographic transition, economic growth, and national development via exploration of the Third World economies. It provides a multidimensional approach to the close relationship between the concept of the chaos and complexity theory and provides a deliberate glance into the plight of policy formulation for demographic transition, economic growth, and development of Third World countries. The volume discusses the efficiency of good strategies and practices and their impact on business growth and economic growth, depending on the depth and diversity of infrastructure sector in particular and overall socioeconomic development in general. Economic Growth and Demographic Transition in Third World Nations: A Chaos and Complexity Theory Perspective covers a conglomeration of various aspects and issues related to the effect of demographic transition on socio-economic development in Third World countries, especially in the post-globalized era. It focuses on the applicability of the chaos and complexity theory in order to elicit transformational policies and aims to discuss and predict future projections of the new world of the economic growth policies.

IMF Staff papers, Volume 46 No. 2 by International Monetary Fund. Research Dept. Pdf

This paper analyzes the predictability of currency crises. The paper evaluates three models for predicting currency crises that were proposed before 1997. Two of the models failed to provide useful forecasts. One model provides forecasts that are somewhat informative though still not reliable. Plausible modifications to this model improve its performance, providing some hope that future models may do better. The study suggests, though, that although forecasting models may help indicate vulnerability to crises, the predictive power of even the best of them may be limited.

The Political Economy of Emerging Markets by J. Santiso Pdf

This book takes a cross-disciplinary look at the financial markets of emerging markets in Latin America. The author wants to disassemble the black box that is the financial market: what are the motivations and interests of the various actors, both institutional and individual?; How do these interact with each other?; How does this information help us understand the Mexican crisis in the 90s and the current crisis in Argentina? The author has conducted extensive interviews with brokers, asset managers, economists, strategists, and analysts in the US, UK, Europe, and Latin America, providing significant material for this study.
