Macroeconomic Impact Of The Financial Crisis On Armenia, King Banaian
Economics Faculty Working Papers
As a small, open economy with a small export sector, Armenia has experienced a large amount of stress from the financial crisis.

Worldwide, the World Bank expects remittances to fall from US$305 billion in 2008 to $290 billion in 2009. In this paper I explore the effect of global crisis on the loss of reserves supporting the monetary …

Markov Switching Var Model Of Speculative Pressure: An Application To The Asian Financial Crisis, Gregorio Iii Alfredo Vargas
Dissertations and Theses Collection (Open Access)

In this thesis, the components of the index of speculative pressure are modeled using the Markov Switching VAR with time-varying transition probabilities of Martinez Peria (2002). Two approaches, both of which are derived from this model, are taken to determine the probability of a currency crisis: the probability of a turbulent regime and the expected value of the …
