In this book, Takatoshi Ito and Anne O. Krueger, two leading experts on this topic, have assembled a group of scholars who address different types of capital flows-bank lending, bonds, direct foreign investment-and the implications they hold for economic performance. By concentrating on macroeconomic issues concerning the flow of private capital to and from the East Asian economies during the currency crises of 1997, the commentary aims to help policy makers avoid such crises in the future. The analyses undertaken here deal with a variety of questions, focusing especially on the "economic fundamentals" of the affected economies and on the irrational "herd behavior" of investors. With its particular focus on the Asian financial crises, this work presents a new model in thinking about the role of private capital flows for policy makers everywhere. |
