Abstract
- The authors of this paper focus on the potential links between banking and balance-of-payments crisis. The balance-of-payments crisis has come to the attention of policy and academic discussions in light of the ERM and Mexican currency crises. The authors explore these episodes for a large number of countries. Knowing that there are banking problems helps predict a balance-of-payments crisis. Rather than a casual relationship from banking to balance-of-payments crises, the macroeconomic stylized facts that characterize these episodes indicate common causes.
