"This is a very timely book that brings the reader to the forefront of current research on macroeconomic policy issues in economies subject to sizable capital flows. The papers were written before the recent Asian crises but the analyses, done by top-flight experts, summarize what is known on the subject. I strongly recommend the book both to professional economists and policy makers involved with these types of countries. Although the papers do not stay away from addressing occasionally technical points, the collection has sharp focus on highly relevant policy issues." Guillermo A. Calvo, University of Maryland
