Global Financial Crises

"This book collects the papers and discussants' comments presented at a conference co-sponsored by the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago and the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, and held in Chicago in early October 1999. The purpose of the conference was to identify and discuss the lessons to be learned from these crises.".

"Because of the timeliness of the conference and the wide-ranging expertise of the participants, the papers in this book should be of significant interest both to students of financial crises and to domestic and international policymakers."--BOOK JACKET.
