Financial Factors in Economic Stabilization and Growth

With the advent of increased capital mobility in the past two decades, financial factors have become of key importance for the processes of stabilization and growth in developing, developed, and transforming economies. The size of international capital movements and the financial intermediation industry has become so large that these factors could become the dominant impulses for individual economies and the global economy in the 1990s and beyond. This book collects essays by well-known analysts in international economics and finance who treat these issues from relatively new perspectives.

"...this volume brings together a wide variety of empirical and theoretical models of financial factors and monetaru policy....The wide-ranging set of essays in the volume's middle present a series of ideas that may ultimately prove useful in bridging this gap."
