Debt, Deficits and Exchange Rates resents recent work by Helmut Reisen on current intemational monetary problems in East Asia and Latin America. Written over the last four years, these papers are readily accessible and of immediate policy relevance. The first part is concerned with developing country debt problems, including the growth of domestic public debt, means of hedging a country's debt portfolio against key currency fluctuations, evidence on the debt overhang hypothesis, an evaluation of the Brady Plan, and how to attract foreign direct investment. This is followed by essays on financial opening which discuss the impact of alternative exchange rate regimes during financial integration, the degree of financial openness in Korea and Taiwan, an appropriate strategy for the liberalisation of capital flows, and the relationship between financial opening and capital flows. The final part underlines the need for exchange rate management. Issues considered include New Zealand's experience with a pure float, the use of the theory of optimal currency areas to assess whether Asian countries should peg to the Yen, institutional features of macroeconomic management in Asia, and how Latin America should respond to heavy capital flows. Bringing together under one cover a wealth of analysis, comment and argument by a leading international scholar, this volume will be welcomed by students, teachers and policy makers as an important contribution to understanding international monetary problems in the developing world.

The international monetary system has undergone a major transformation since the early 1970s. The suspension, in 1971, of the convertibility of the US dollar into gold was followed by the abandonment of fixed exchange rates and the consequent growth in the importance of commercial banks in the creation of international liquidity.This book, which arose from a research project conducted at the Royal Institute of International Affairs in London, comprises ten chapters written by leading European experts from the academic world, and from banking and international institutions, on different aspects of the world monetary system as it has developed in recent years. They offer both a critical analysis of recent experience and a detailed discussion of possible reforms and likely trends for the future.The various chapters cover the economic recession of the 1970s and 1980s, the influence of monetary theory on policy decisions, the effects of floating exchange rates and balance-of-payments adjustments, the emergence of a multiple currency standard, the changing character of international liquidity and deficit financing, and the relationship between the IMF and the Third World. In conclusion, Loukas Tsoukalis highlights recent developments in the international monetary system and draws general conclusions about the nature and feasibility of world monetary reform.The book is intended as a contribution to the growing debate on the international monetary system and its likely evolution. It will be of interest to students and practitioners of economics, finance, and international relations.

This important book, the fourth in the Civil Procedure in Europe series, provides a comparative overview, for 15 EU countries, of orders for payment Mahnverfahren and similar proceedings. Each country's practice in this area is described and analysed by a national expert distinguished in the field of civil procedural law. The contributions are written in either English, French, or German, and are followed by summaries in both remaining languages. Bibliographies are included to enable the reader to locate material for further study. Each national report addresses the following issues: sources of law and general principles of orders for payment and similar proceedings; fields of application (kind of claims, amount of claim, etc.); requirements for the issuance of an order for payment; objection, appeal, and other remedies against orders for payment; and res judicata, enforceability and other effects of orders for payment. A comparative contribution by the editors analyses the similarities and differences between the various European systems. Furthermore, the editors discuss attempts to harmonise the law of civil procedure in this respect, which range from various recommendations of the Council of Europe to the 1998 draft of the Late Payment Directive, and provide concrete suggestions for a future harmonisation or unification of this area of the law. The countries covered are Austria, Belgium, Denmark, England, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, and Sweden.

Jean Gabszewicz's new book is devoted to the study of strategic multilateral exchange. Contrary to the classical competitive paradigm in which agents are assumed to behave as price takers, here traders are allowed to consciously behave as strategic agents who aim to influence trade to their own advantage. This is usually done in oligopoly theory using a partial equilibrium approach while in this case a system of interrelated markets is considered. Primarily, the book discusses the game-theoretic concept of core and the relationship between core and the set of price allocations in economies embodying significant traders is explored. The author goes on to adopt a non-cooperative approach building on the concept of Nash equilibrium.

The recent strength of the pound, the launch of the EMU and the Southeast Asian crisis have highlighted the impact of exchange rates on firm profitability. Exchange Rates and the Firm is the first book to provide an integrated treatment of financial and operating strategies with respect to exchange rate variability. Theory and evidence on strategies for handling exchange rate variability from many areas of study in economics are assembled and assessed, with a focus on operating strategies. The choice of price setting currency, when and how to adjust prices, the limitations of hedging, and segmentation of national markets are some of the issues analyzed. Richard Friberg uses the developed framework to investigate the impact of EMU on exchange rate exposure. The non-technical presentation makes it well suited for advanced undergraduate and MBA students, practitioners and researchers who want an accessible synthesis of current research in this topical and important field of economic theory and practice.
