Managing the Macroeconomy: Monetary and Exchange Rate Issues in India

Venkataramana Yanamandra (Rama)

<p>The majority of these 12 papers were presented at a July 2002 symposium hosted by Singapore's Institute for Policy Studies. Presented by Rajan (economics, U. of Adelaide, Australia), they analyze the macroeconomic concerns and policy options facing Singapore. After an overview of economic globalization issues, papers look at such issues as economic geography, insecurity and social insurance, industrial competitiveness, comparative advantage and the role of services, government-linked companies and outward investments, structural and budgetary policy, entrepreneurship and productivity, and monetary and financial policies. The emphasis is on analysis of issues rather than the specifics of Singapore's economic experience. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)</p>

Asia In The Global Economy: Finance, Trade and Investment

Sunil Rongala

World Scientific Publishing Company

A decade has passed since the Asian crisis of 1997-1998 which decimated many of the regional economies. While the crisis itself led to severe economic and political consequences, its primary cause was an inappropriate mix of policies, as regional economies attempted to simultaneously maintain fairly rigid exchange rates (soft US dollar pegs) and monetary policy autonomy in the presence of large-scale capital outflows. The chapters in this volume focus on selected exchange rate, monetary and financial issues and policies that are of contemporary relevance and importance to Asia, including choice of exchange rate regimes, causes and consequences of reserve accumulation, international capital flows, macroeconomic synchronization, and regional monetary and financial cooperation.

Exchange Rate, Monetary And Financial Issues And Policies In Asia

This volume is a compilation of important papers relating to the financial, governance and political economy structures of the region, using a variety of methods and topics. Following the Asian crisis and subsequent global financial upheavals, policymakers and academics issued cries for institutional reform at the state and firm level; in many cases, reform was actually implemented rather than simply rhetorical. This volume begins by addressing issues relating to corporate governance within firms located in East Asia and as entities participating in corporate ownership elsewhere. Next, the key issues of globalization are directly addressed, including foreign direct investment into the region, integration among Southeast Asian countries and with the rest of Asia, and multinational enterprise investment strategies in Asia following initial entry decisions. Finally, the macroeconomic policies of state actors, and the effects of economic growth are examined. Readership: Academics, researchers, regulators and policymakers interested in economics, business and public policy in Asia.
