International Financial Contagion: Theory And Evidence In Evolution
Whenever one of the developing markets sneezes, the rest of the emerging markets in the world are likely to suffer from anything from the sniffles to pneumonia. This research monograph provides an introduction to the subject—definitions of the term, instances of contagion in the 1990s, the theories that attempt to explain it, previous evidence from tests of the theories, and problems with the testing procedures. It also discusses the results of new tests and suggests directions for future research.
