Opis

Over the past thirty years the Pacific Basin region has become more integrated with the rest of the world and played an increasingly important role in the world economy. While much has been written on Pacific Basin trade and economic growth, relatively few studies have been published on the conduct of exchange rate and monetary policies in the economies of the region. These papers should be of interest to readers with an interest in broadening their understanding of different exchange rate arrangements as well as those wishing to deepen their knowledge of Pacific Basin economies.

"Overall, this collection of essays will appeal to a wide audience. The contributors are effective researchers who employ sophisticated techniques. Students of international finance will find the essays provocative and potentially helpful in identifying research projects. Economists specializing in this area will admire the attention to detail, the emphasis on policy considerations, and the focus on a set of often-neglected countries." Eastern Economic Journal
