Abstract

"This is a unique insider account of the new world of unfettered finance. The author, an Asian regulator, examines how old mindsets, market fundamentalism, loose monetary policy, carry trade, lax supervision, greed, cronyism, and financial engineering caused both the Asian crisis of the late 1990s and the current global crisis of 2008-2009. This book shows how the Japanese zero interest rate policy to fight deflation helped create the carry trade that generated bubbles in Asia whose effects brought Asian economies down. The study's main purpose is to demonstrate that global finance is so interlinked and interactive that our current tools and institutional structure to deal with critical episodes are completely outdated. The book explains how current financial policies and regulation failed to deal with a global bubble and makes recommendations on what must change"--Provided by publisher.

Abstract

Depuis la crise bancaire de 2008 et comme lors des krachs boursiers de 1987 ou de 2001, la crise de 1929 est invoquée par le : commentateurs et les banquiers centraux en tant que référence pour situer leurs actions. Qu'est-ce qui fait de la crise de 1925 l'exemple par excellence de la crise économique ? A-t-elle constitué une véritable remise en question du capitalisme ? Ou seulement l'accumulation de crises locales et d'erreurs de politique économique ? Pourquoi a-t-elle duré si longtemps ? Est-ce une crise américaine ou mondiale ? Résulte-t-elle des excès du crédit et de la spéculation ou est-elle une conséquence à retardement de la Première Guerre mondiale ? Jamais crise n'a donné lieu à autant de travaux contradictoires. Chaque génération d'économistes la relit avec un regard nouveau, en y projetant d'abord ses propres débats. Ce livre présente l'histoire de cette crise hors du commun et les clefs de sa compréhension. Il étudie ses origines profondes comme ses causes immédiates, son déroulement complexe et l'intense transformation des économies occidentales et des relations internationales qui en résulte.

Abstract

This volume examines the impact on economic performance of structural policies that increase the role of market forces and competition in the economy, while maintaining appropriate regulatory frameworks. The results reflect a new dataset covering reforms of domestic product markets, international trade, the domestic financial sector, and the external capital account, in 91 developed and developing countries. Among the results of this study, the authors find that real and financial reforms (and, in particular, domestic financial liberalization, trade liberalization, and agricultural liberalization) boost income growth. However, growth effects differ significantly across alternative reform sequencing strategies: a trade-before-capital-account strategy achieves better outcomes than the reverse, or even than a "big bang"; also, liberalizing the domestic financial sector together with the external capital account is growth-enhancing, provided the economy is relatively open to international trade. Finally, relatively liberalized domestic financial sectors enhance the economy's resilience, reducing output costs from adverse terms-of-trade and interest-rate shocks; increased credit availability is one of the key mechanisms.--Publisher's description.
