The Johansen and Horvath-Watson co-integration test procedures are applied to bilateral and multilateral exchange rates, deflated using CPIs, producer price indices (PPIs), and price indices of export goods. The second deflator yields the greatest evidence of "stationarity". The study find's that the Malaysian, Philippines, and Thai currencies were overvalued, while the Korean and Indonesian were substantially undervalued. Mixed results were obtained for the others. Measures of the equilibrium rate based on time trends in CPI-deflated rates typically suggest larger overvaluations.   2120 visits has been made through our site.   The Dolans [RealAudio]   URL: http://wor710.com/dolans.htm   The Dolans web site provides users with financial advice.

In the second half of 1997, Western banks experienced positive returns. In contrast East Asian bank indices incurred losses in excess of 60% in each of the crisis countries. Most of this poor performance is explained by the exposure of the banks to general stock market movements in their countries. Currency exposures affected banks adversely beyond their stock market impact only in Indonesia and the Philippines. Except for the Korean program, IMF programs had little effect on bank values. The announcement of the Korean program increased shareholder wealth at the U.S. banks with the highest reported exposure in Korea by about 7% and had a favorable effect on bank shareholder wealth in all the countries in our sample but one. There is no evidence that the Korean IMF program had a positive impact on banks without exposure to Korea and hence our results do not support the argument that such programs reduce systemic risk.   1738 visits has been made through our site.   A Tale of Two Pesos: A Comparison of Currency Policies In Mexico and Argentina   URL: http://www.heritage.org/library/categories/theory/lect552.html   Hanke.

Why and how do such crises materialize? And why not the private sector take appropriate precautions to avoid the consequences of crises? In this paper, the authors argue that the combination of weak international financial links and underdeveloped domestic financial markets offers a parsimonious account of these and related phenomena present in emerging markets.   959 visits has been made through our site.   EYI -- Global Economy: Why Brazil Devalued the Real   URL: http://www.dallasfed.org/htm/eyi/archive/global/7_99/global.html   Economists at the Dallas Federal Reserve, William C.
