Overview

"This book aims to integrate the notions of contagion in epistemiology and of contagion in financial market crises to discover why emerging markets are so susceptible to financial crises. The author first provides a brief introduction of the contagious spill-over of recent financal market crises and models the pattern of these crises. He finds that the contagion between crises in emerging markets, such as that of the crises in Russia and Brazil in 1998-1999, is explicable, despite the fact that at first sight they appear to have little in common. Finally, Professor Sell integrates these findings to outline a proposal for a ""new international financial architecture"". This groundbreaking book should be of interest to scholars of financial economics, emerging economies and international money and finance."
