Working Paper
A public finance analysis of multiple reserve requirements
Espinosa-Vega, Marco A.; Russell, Steven (1999)
This paper analyzes multiple reserve requirements of the type that have been imposed by a number of developing countries. We show that previous theoretical work on this topic has not succeeded in providing a social welfare rationale for the existence of multiple reserve requirements. We go on to present a model in which it is possible for a multiple reserves regime to improve social welfare relative to simpler regimes involving reserve requirements and/or deposit taxes. We demonstrate the empirical plausibility of our approach by providing a case study of Mexico, a country with extensive ...

Exchange rate rules in support of disinflation programs in developing countries
Kamin, Steven B. (1991)
This paper analyzes how exchange rate policies can best support the sustainability of disinflation programs. Freezing the nominal exchange rate frequently has been recommended as a means of suppressing inertial inflation and accelerating the disinflation process. However, because any resultant real exchange rate appreciation often must be corrected through a subsequent devaluation, targeting the nominal exchange rate may merely postpone inflation rather than eliminate it once-and-for-all. This paper argues that because excessive inflation during any particular period may jeopardize the ...

COVID-19: Fiscal Implications and Financial Stability in Developing Countries
Grittayaphong, Praew; Restrepo-Echavarria, Paulina (2023-07-14)
The COVID-19 pandemic has been unlike any other crisis that we have experienced in that it hit all economies in the world at the same time, compromising the risk-sharing ability of nations. At the onset of the pandemic, the World Bank (WB) and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) jointly pledged 1.16 trillion U.S. dollars to help emerging economies deal with COVID-19. Would this amount have been enough to preserve financial stability in a worst case scenario, and what were the fiscal implications of the pandemic? In this article we aim to answer these questions by documenting the size of the ...

Working Paper
Labor Market Institutions and the Effects of Financial Openness
Wei, Shang-Jin; Nie, Jun; Du, Qingyuan (2020-02-03)
We propose a new channel to explain why developing countries may fail to beneﬁt from ﬁnancial globalization, based on labor market institutions. In our model, ﬁnancial openness in a developing country with a rigid labor market leads to capital outﬂow, and both employment and output fall. In contrast, ﬁnancial openness in a developing country with a ﬂexible labor market beneﬁts the country. Our model suggests that enhancing labor market ﬂexibility is a complementary reform for developing countries opening capital accounts.

Recent trade liberalization in developing countries: the effects on global trade and output
Hickok, Susan (1993-10)
Many developing countries are currently easing import tariffs and other barriers to trade. This article estimates the impact of these reforms on international trade flows and global output under alternative assumptions about the ability of developing countries to finance increased import purchases. Particular attention is given to the effect of these reforms on the U.S. economy. The author also considers how the trade policies of the United States and other industrialized countries may influence the trade and output effects of the reforms.

Capital flows & current account deficits in the 1990s: why did Latin America & East Asian countries respond differently?
Antzoulatos, Angelos A. (1996)
The return of private capital to highly indebted less-developed countries (LDCs) in the late 1980s was accompanied by widening current account deficits in the recipient countries, which were primarily attributed to a consumption boom in Latin America and an investment surge in East Asia. Interpreting the return as an increase in the external debt ceiling, the maximum amount that can be borrowed, this paper analyzes and compares the different response of the two regions using the conceptual framework of a borrowing-constrained agent. According to it, an increase in the debt ceiling can reduce ...
