However, significant and wide- ranging economic reform programs make it difficult to assess...

Managed Floating Plus
ISBN: 9780881323368 / Angielski / Miękka / 112 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In this analysis Morris Goldstein examines currency regime choices for emerging economies that are heavily involved with private capital markets.

Goldstein argues that if managed floating were enhanced in this way, it would retain the desirable features of a flexible rate regime while addressing the nominal anchor and balance-sheet problems that have historically...
