This paper studies sharp reductions in current account deficits and large exchange rate depreciations in low- and middle-income countries. It examines which factors help predict the occurrence of a reversal or a currency crisis, and how these events affect macroeconomic performance. It finds that both domestic factors, such as the low reserves, and external factors, such as unfavorable terms of trade and high interest rates in industrial countries, trigger reversals and currency crises. The two types of events are, however, distinct; indeed, current account imbalances are not sharply reduced in the years following a currency crisis. Economic performance around these events is also quite different. An exchange rate crash is associated with a fall in output growth and a recovery thereafter, while for reversal events there is no systematic evidence of a growth slowdown.

The banking crises in 2007-10 are not exceptional. There have been many such crises in the past in both developed countries and emerging economies. A banking crisis can be related to solvency or liquidity (or both). This book focuses on banking crisis and liquidity. This book starts from basics and gradually builds up with very few technicalities. Though the analysis is primarily theoretical, we provide a historical background, a macroeconomic perspective, and policy implications for both closed and open economies.

La zone euro s'enfonce dans la déflation, le chômage, le sous-investissement. L'austérité budgétaire est pourtant présentée comme inévitable, faute d'alternative économique crédible. Or, une autre politique, nécessairement audacieuse, est possible. Reprenant les projets de création monétaire développés en leur temps aussi bien par des économistes libéraux, comme Irving Fisher ou Milton Friedman, que par le néo-keynésien James Tobin, elle repose sur la monétisation des dettes publiques – c'est-à-dire leur rachat par la Banque centrale. Après avoir étudié les fondements théoriques d'une telle politique, cet ouvrage examine les objections qui lui sont généralement opposées. Il montre que son application serait parfaitement concevable dans le contexte actuel, sans risque majeur. Il décrit enfin les modalités concrètes envisageables pour mettre en œuvre cette politique de désendettement des États européens. L'Europe se trouve aujourd'hui dans une impasse. Cet ouvrage propose une politique radicalement différente pour en sortir. Rompre avec l'orthodoxie économique dominante paraît la seule solution pour retrouver le chemin de la croissance en Europe.
