International Capital Mobility and Domestic Economic Stability
Canberra, Australia
July 14-16, 1999
Partners
Overview
The Asian crisis having stirred up considerable debate on the present and future shape of the international financial architecture, we decided to launch a project entitled the process towards a new financial architecture. Our idea was to examine the crises of 1997 and 1998 on a country-by-country basis in order to identify similarities and differences across affected countries in terms of their economic conditions, institutional arrangements and other key dimensions. We asked participants to focus on Australia, Brazil, China, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mexico, Poland, Russia, Thailand, Turkey and this conference in Canberra provided a venue for outlining findings of the various comparative analyses carried out. A book of the proceedings entitled Capital Flows without Crisis was produced in collaboration with Dominic Wilson and Ross Garnaut, from the Australia National University.
