Sovereign risk and financial crises play a key role in current international economic developments, particularly in the case of economic downturns. As the Asian economic crisis in the late 1990s revealed once again, financial crises are the rule rather than the exception in capitalist economies. The event also revealed that international public debt agreements are contingent claims. In a world of increasing economic interdependencies, the issues of financial crises and country defaults are of critical importance. This volume goes to the heart of the academic discussion on sovereign risk and financial crises by centering on quantitative-empirical aspects, evaluating prominent approaches, and by proposing new methods. Part I of the volume identifies key factors and processes that are central in analyzing sovereign risk while Part II focuses on the determinants and effects of financial crises.

Dealing with all aspects of risk management that have undergone significant innovation in recent years, this book aims at being a reference work in its field.

Die zahlreichen Finanz- und Währungskrisen der letzten Jahre haben zu einer Fülle an Reformvorschlägen für das internationale Finanzsystem geführt. In diesem Buch werden die wichtigsten Vorschläge verständlich dargestellt, systematisiert und gründlich diskutiert. Werden eher Fragen der mikro- oder makroökonomischen Governance angegangen? Welche der konkurrierenden Ziele - nationale Autonomie, Stabilität der Finanzmärkte oder freier Kapitalverkehr - stehen im Vordergrund? Wie ist eine mögliche Umsetzung einzuschätzen?Das Buch bietet damit einen umfassenden Überblick zur Debatte um eine Neue Internationale Finanzarchitektur. Es legt implizite Zielvorstellungen offen, arbeitet die Wirksamkeit von Instrumenten heraus und bietet vorsichtige Wertungen an. Es leistet damit einen Beitrag zur Information sowie zur eigenen Positionsfindung.

Recent developments in international economics have resulted in a research agenda labelled as the «New Open Economy Macroeconomics» (NOEM). This book provides a description of the baseline model and discusses open questions in the literature. Two price setting assumptions can be distinguished, the producer currency price setting and the local currency price setting with crucial difference according to the transmission process. The study examines the presence of either price setting assumptions on an empirical basis, the analysis of German exporters and the reaction of import prices in response to exchange rate changes. Finally the traditional NOEM model structure is enriched by introducing foreign direct investment effects.
