for any research paper or personal curiosity on world macroeconomic affairs!
Thank you! And now, in skimming your long list of accomplishments and
institutional affiliations/participations, I was surprised to see no mention of
where I'm currently studying: SAIS (The Johns Hopkins School of Advanced
International Studies), and in particular, The Bologna Center. It would be
wonderful to have you as a guest lecturer, seminar participant or, indeed,
professor! Thanks for your work in this most crucial intersection of academic,
commercial, social and political thought. -Dave Schacht

Dear Nouriel Roubini, Just wanted to say how grateful I
am that you constructed this site. Last year I had a 5000 word summative essay
on the crisis for which there were no textbooks and very little help on the
web. However when I stumbled upon your site it was a veritable goldmine and
helped me get a first in the essay. Now in my final year of my Economics degree
I'm again studying the causes of the Asian Crisis for my 12000 word
dissertation and although there is now slightly more literature your site will
be my first port of call. Thanks once again. By the way the new design is even
better.

extremely useful, especially the numerous links available. Thanks again

An excellent site. Comprehensive, yet the analysis
provided is extremely concise and accessible. Without it, my MA dissertation
would not have been possible. By the way, if anyone visiting this site and
working for any fat American investment banks wants to give me a job, then it
could well be worth your while - and I'm well up for it. I graduated with a
First Class Honours degree in Politics at the University of Newcastle (England)
last year, and am just finishing my Masters degree in International Political
Economy (for which I should receive a distinction). I was also one of nine
people short-listed as Journalist of the year in the 1998/9 Guardian Student
Media Awards. So anybody interested in employing a motivated, tenacious and
perceptive graduate, contact me at

Great website. Only two things missing that I can see: 1)
The history of capital flows to emerging markets and their causes (e.g. capital
push-excess northern liquidity seeking southern outlets; or southern projects
seeking northern financing): should cover the last two centuries. Kindleberger
should not have the last word. 2) A careful analysis of why/how Brazil avoided
crisis in 1999.

seen concerning the financial crisis. After spending time in Japan and Korea
and studying the economic growth in East Asia, this site has really helped me
better understand the more technical aspects of the crisis and has served as a
great resource for much of my research. Thank you so much for this great

consider shares in recovering Thailand. We are the longest established service,
on location for 11 years and we were just picked by Forbes Magazine in their
"Best of the Web" survey. What is Thaistocks.com ? Thaistocks.com is
a qualitative oriented (rather than overly quantitative),independent, unbiased

services firm focussed on the Stock Market of Thailand. Delivering through its
comprehensive web page regular and on time opinions,recommendations and various
facts & analysis beyond conventional news sources. We are "on
location" for a decade; the investment style is a fundamental
"bottom-up" type. In fact, we are obsessed with lowest valuation yet
expected high earnings growth along with expected above average and often tax
favored dividend income. The quality of the firm and management reputation is
of high concern and regular company visits and other means are employed in
checking this. Thaistocks.com is evolving fast has a strong 3 year documented

It's truly unfortunate when the blind lead the blind by
the color of the stripes on their graduation gowns. To make the assumption that
everyone in Asia thinks and works the same way that Americans do, or worse, New
Yorkers, is high up on the scale of arrogance and it's this very arrogance that
prevents both the propoganda leaders, called "Economists" or
"Professors" in this case from even questioning their own rhetoric.
Money is not the source of economic activity it is the RESULT and therefore a
result cannot be cause of the same RESULT. In other words, money does not cause
money problems. The Asian Crisis was NOT caused by events taking place in
Thailand or in Japan during the last decade. The Asian Crisis is a culmination
of events that have been in motion at least since the 19th century and if taken
from the most fundamental causes, since Adam and Eve. All of the discussion
about the IMF and other institutions is first rate RUBBISH. Why would anyone
ask a Westerner about things that involve Asian behavior? How many of these
"experts" like Rubin and Summers have ANY experience in Asia either
living there or speaking even one of the Asian languages? These people have NO
clue what goes on or the assumptions that Asians base their business decisions
upon so until one understands the Asian mind, it is IMPOSSIBLE to understand
the Asian Crisis. It's truly unfortunate that certain lapdogs in this world
gravitate towards ivory tower nonsense all the while leaving their kettle of
skepticism at home. Had these FANS of Roubini brought that along, they could
have poured their skepticism onto these pointless reports and exposed the base
medal instead of the gold they were looking for. If you really want to
understand the asian crisis, come over to the site with people who have lived
and worked in Asia and maintain contact with Asians in their language. Get the
truth. Come over to www.theasiancrisis.com on the Altavista search engine and
get from behind the rear end of the IMF theories.

St.Gallen, CH - Saturday, February 05, 2000 at 05:18:13 (EST)
Great Site! I though your technical explication of the
"Asian Crisis" was excellent. I conclude from your paper that there
was a real appreciation of most Asian currencies, an untenable situation given
the countries' growing CA deficits and low returns on capital. This eventually
sparked the Crisis, and early misguided attempts to re-inflate the economies
just made it worse. However, the Crisis was not purely a financial, or
cyclical, phenomenon. Such a conclusion would imply that the devaluations, and
floating currencies in the future, would prevent further crises. Unfortunately,
the poor return on capital in Asia is symptomatic of far deeper, troubling
structural problems, including rampant corruption and crony capitalism. The
amount of capital wasted in countries like Thailand, Indonesia, etc. due to
these inefficiencies are breathtaking, absolutely breathtaking. As anyone
living in Asia recently can tell yoy, many Asian banks are now just walking
zombies, gutted by behest loans left unpaid. The fact that many of those loans
were financed with foreign capital just made the problem worse. What might have
been just local recessions became a regional currency crisis.

Dear Professor Roubini, I am doing an undergrad thesis
right now and your 'works' on this site are very helpful. I wonder if I could
get your e-mail add so I could consult you about stuffs particularly the
determinants of private sector foreign debts and its part on the outburst of
the asian crisis. As our variables, we have real exchange rate, inflation rate,
current account balance, government foreign liabilities and interest rate
differential. We are focusing on theASEAN-4 case. We would appreciate any help.

Thank you, Prof.Roubini , for maintaining the best
reference site on not only macroeconomics but also on topics of current
financial market issues facing the wopld's policy makers. It's particularly
objective as you present both sides of the issue so well. In this connection,
may I seek your opinion on HK's dollar peg's sustainability in a deflationary environment
which has taken the real interest rates so high. Even though HK is 85% services
economy the real interest rates are hurting sectors like tourism and hotels and
retail trades badly. In fact, since HK peg introduction in 1983, this is the
first time real interest rates are so high for a long period and there does not
seem an easy way out. Can they sustain the peg? I will be very grateful for
your considered opinion. Thanking you, M.Lakshmiram

Professor Roubini: Your web site is well organized, rich
in content, and very informative. It provides and extremely valuable resource
for educators, students, and others interested in global economic affairs. In
that context, I would appreciate it if you would consider adding our web site
to your links page. "The World Game of Economics" is an interactive
computer game that simulates macroeconomic activity and policy in a global
setting. Players are the chief economic advisers to countries. They are in
charge of fiscal, trade, and monetary policies. Our web site also contains a
"World Game News" page that features interesting articles on recent
international events and issues; and "The Global Economy" page
uniquely displays the relative performance of the world's economies in 1998.
This summer we are sponsoring a scholarship contest for students. It is a great
opportunity for students to be creative, apply their knowledge of international
economics, and compete for a nice award. Details about the game and the contest
are explained at the web site. Our URL is: http://www.worldgameofeconomics.com.

Dear Professror, I have been reading the informaiton on
your page for over a year now and I am very thannkful to you and all the people
who have done so much work . It's been a reat help forme as I am majoring in
international Economics in the St. Petersburg State University, 4th year
student, and my term papers are all devoted to the theme of the financial
crisis (quite a close topic to my country's economy). Thanks once again, and
hopefully, one day I'll be able to read your book as well. Catherine,

Proff., I have been visiting your site for a long time,
as the wealth of information takes a while to digest. As a rep. of the
financial industry, I particularly enjoyed the part that examined why no one
could predict the crisis before it occurred. Sandy Weill, the CEO of my firm,
said that he was amazed at all of the experts that appeared after the crisis.
Unfortunately, none of these experts could warn the financial community before
the disaster. It would have prevented a lot of people from losing their jobs
and firms from losing money. It was a step back for the advancement of the
global economy. Your efforts at opening the world's financial markets are
recognized, however. This is necessary to furthering an open, global economy.

The 'journalistic' pieces are good, the analytical pieces
(both, the moral hazard approach as well as the Diamond-Dybvig view) are quite
worthless. As an economist and someone who has advised investors in emerging
market sovereign bonds since 1991 I can assure you the crises in these countries
was not the result of investors' rational (or irrational, as the bank run
people believe) response to 'new' information. This kind of explanation reminds
me of nothing so much as Karl Popper's comment about the difference between
science and metaphysics; the latter is essentially unfalsifiable. Both schools
of thought, which regrettably are over-represented in your collection, have
little predictive power.

Your web site is of great help to my job. Particularly,
you web is carrying a wide variety of topic, even covering the latest issues.
What I want to ask you is to add one more issue on corporate governance. I has
diiged out several web sites on the issue, but which is very important to the
Asian economies. As you know, last year most Asian economies including Japan
have been criticized for their faulty(?) governing system in their economies
and corporate firms as well. However, I think that it's time for us to approach
the problems of the Asian economies in a more prudent perspective. Best regards

Ok Great... While these pages are full of the
meltdown,depression, crisis, etc...how about some comments on the immense
wealth re-creation when Asia recovers? Why is nobody writting about this? There
actually are many secondary companies in Thailand for example, which have
increased earnings besides ridiculous lowest stock valuations. But you would
never read about them from the "Macro Boys". Smaller listed stocks
for example, are by far beating the Thai Stock exchange index (I just published
the proof of this at my web page), because they are not bloated by foreign dept
and not in the service sector. They make real things for real people, they
export, they are defensive. But they are off "the radar screens" of
the institutions and you would never read about them in your usual business
sources...who only proclaim how terrible things are here. They are wrong. There
are pockets of strenght! Can I show you some real examples? Paul A. Renaud.

Dear Prof In 1997 you wrote in The Economist Newspaper
Limited and is reproduced at this site In your articles you said all the way
Mahathir is wrong in accusing Gorge Sorros and currency trading as the main
cause of the Sea East Asia economics problem. You dont even pause to consider
the rational and logic behind why Mahathir had said. Your writing style and
opinion is more lika a journalist rather than an economist. You even put it in
sinistic manner. But now it is proven that MAHATHIR is RIGHT AND YOU ARE WRONG.
Even Krugman is saying what mahathir is saying now (But not before!)
Drunkermiller admit that they are at war with Hong Kong What does this mean?
Simple! you dont understand very much about SEA economics and currency trading
in general. So learn from Mahathir. Below is the reproduction of your article:
WHEN things go wrong, there is nothing like finding a scapegoat, ideally a
fabulously wealthy foreigner. So when the topic of turbulence on regional
currency markets came up at the annual meeting in Malaysia of the Association
of South-East Asian Nations (ASEAN) there seemed an obvious cast of villains:
international speculators, led by an American financier, George Soros.
Malaysia’s prime minister, Mahathir Mohamad, was characteristically forthright,
repeatedly naming Mr Soros as the guilty man. But Dr Mahathir was not the only
leader willing to see his country as the hapless victim of an international
conspiracy. The currency crisis that has swept the region, all nine foreign
ministers agreed in a joint communiqué, can be traced to the “well co-ordinated
efforts to destabilise ASEAN currencies for self-serving purposes”. It would be
more useful to look closer to home. Self-criticism, alas, would be less
rhetorically satisfying. It would also require pointing fingers directly at the
leaders who have led their countries into such turmoil. Many of them have ample
reason for wanting to deflect attention. Thailand, whose troubles are by far
the most serious among the ASEAN tigers, has the most need of scapegoats. On
July 28th, it announced it was entering talks with the International Monetary
Fund (IMF) about a standby line of credit to stem a slide into national
bankruptcy. Officials at the central bank, the Bank of Thailand, have blamed Mr
Soros for forcing them to float the currency, the baht, on July 2nd. It has
fallen about 24% against the dollar since then. Mr Soros certainly was active in
this market. Indeed, after the flotation, his chief investment officer, Stanley
Druckenmiller, said that the Thais’ stubborn efforts to avert devaluation
“kicked our butt”. That certainly was politic, but not entirely candid:
although Soros Fund Management did lose money on some baht trades, Mr
Druckenmiller this week declined to deny that the company has a substantial
forward position. That position, presumably, is now looking rather profitable.
For Thailand to blame Mr Soros for its plight is rather like condemning an
undertaker for burying a suicide. A decade of economic growth averaging around
8% a year had blinded policymakers to signs of impending crisis, many of which
were related to the baht’s peg to a basket of currencies dominated by the
dollar. Export growth stalled as the dollar strengthened last year. Local
companies and financial institutions meanwhile had piled up dollar debts
because interest rates were low and there appeared to be no exchange risk. Much
of that foreign debt financed a building boom which turned into a property
bubble. To maintain the baht’s value, interest rates had to stay high,
crippling property developers, their financiers and some manufacturers. As
companies were unable to meet their debt payments, the banking system threatened
to seize up. Thailand’s foreign-exchange reserves, depleted by the ill-fated
effort to prop up the baht, are insufficient to bail out the private sector.
Thailand’s economic problems were compounded by political indecision. The
Ministry of Finance and the Bank of Thailand have squandered their reputations
as bastions of technocratic prudence and rectitude in the fickle, corrupt world
of Thai politics. On July 28th, following the embarrassing cap-in-hand call on
the IMF, the governor of the bank resigned; the next day the permanent
secretary at the finance ministry, known as an abrasive advocate of fiscal
discipline, was forced out. “We have a small problem with working unity,” said
Chavalit Yongchaiyudh, the prime minister. The IMF is sure to demand austerity
as the condition for its aid (see below). Austerity is always a hard sell, all
the more so in Thailand, where politics runs on commercial lines: candidates
buy votes to win election, and then abuse the powers of office to recoup their
investment. The need to increase taxes and scale back spending will make that
difficult. Even now, vested interests may block agreement with the IMF. For all
their anti-foreign rhetoric, Thailand’s neighbours are hoping not. Their
troubles are less advanced. But the same economic forces confronting Thailand
have afflicted their currencies. In Malaysia’s case, the vehemence of Dr
Mahathir’s attack on Mr Soros is hard to understand. The Malaysian ringgit has
fallen only about 5% against the dollar, and remains much stronger than it was
a year ago against almost every other currency in the world. Mr Druckenmiller
says his funds have not sold ringgits at all in recent weeks, and he has no
position in the forward market (rather, it seems, to his regret). Although Dr
Mahathir has compared speculators such as him to drug-dealers, and called them
anarchists, saboteurs and rogues, Mr Druckenmiller actually seems more bullish
about Malaysia’s economic outlook than does the prime minister. Mr
Druckenmiller has predictably little time for Dr Mahathir’s allegation that Mr
Soros is motivated by the political agenda of his personal foundation, which
supports efforts to build “open societies” in the former Soviet Union and
elsewhere. The Soros Foundation has taken an interest in Myanmar, which is run
by a repressive military regime, and Mr Soros disapproved of ASEAN’s
controversial decision to admit Myanmar to membership on July 23rd. There is,
Mr Druckenmiller insists, no connection between Soros Fund Management’s
initiatives to make money and the foundation’s attempts to distribute it. Dr
Mahathir, however, seems to resent both activities, which makes Mr Soros a
politically expedient target. Some historic grudges may also be at work.
Malaysia’s central bank and the Soros funds clashed in 1993. And the previous
September, the central bank, Bank Negara, lost a fortune betting on sterling
when the British currency fell out of the European exchange-rate mechanism and
was devalued—an event that is said to have earned Mr Soros a fortune. The prime
minister insists that he has evidence of Soros involvement in speculation
against the ringgit. But the majority of traders in Kuala Lumpur believe that
foreign speculators played only a peripheral role in the currency’s fall. More
significant were dollar outflows as foreigners sold shares and repatriated
their money, and dealings by local companies as they sought to hedge their
foreign borrowing or protect the value of their ringgit deposits. In the
Philippines and Indonesia, where Mr Soros also denies any involvement, populist
rhetoric against foreign manipulators has a constituency too. After the
Philippine peso was forced by market pressure to float on July 11th, the
central bank had to ask the IMF for $1 billion (a fraction of Thailand’s
probable needs). Something of a witch-hunt followed in the branches of foreign
banks alleged to have sold the currency short. Nonetheless, many Philippine
officials, and their Indonesian counterparts, seem embarrassed at being
associated with Dr Mahathir’s tirades. So, indeed, are some of his own
officials and colleagues. While some rather relish the international attention
brought by Dr Mahathir’s fierce posturing, economic policymakers know that the
markets matter more than the hot words of their political masters. They are
aware that stabilising South-East Asia’s currencies depends far less on
punishing evil speculators than on Thailand’s willingness to put its economic
house in order. © Copyright 1997 The Economist Newspaper Limited. All Rights

Reeeeeeal useful, I am using it to do an essay, and it is
almost too perfect. Especially Paul Krugman, I have found his work to be so
useful. He is almost reached god like status in my mind. It's like he is almost
writing especially for me. ta, nige P.S I was overexaggerating about the god

Dear Sir, I'm a technical engineering student, surfing
the web to find info as to the benefits of investing in Transportation to raise
the productivity of a nation and thus the economic of the country. Singapore
has recently invested million of dollars to get the EMAS (Expressway Monitoring

from traffic jam in the high way. I'm still trying to find out how this would
benefit the nation economically. This is a great site with a lot of

that I want to seriously study that is not available yet in yours. That is
about corruption. This problem is one of the causes of Financial Crisis in

By the way, do you know where I can get economists' consensus estimates of key

Professor! I learned of your site from a posting on the
"SEA-1" Listserv. I am very happy I did! I intend to read evrything I
can of the excellent information you have assembled. I am at the Department of
State. I work only part time, as I am retired, and I work on issues far from
the Asian currency crisis, namely international narcotics and law enforcement.
But, the fact is, my background is in international economics: I studied with
Professor Bernard Cohen when he taught at the Fletcher School. I have worked at
the US embassies in the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam, and speak both Thai
and Vietnamese. I was in Thailand shortly after the currency was floated last
July, and then spent more than a month in Vietnam, traveling from place to
place. I am very interested in the debate about the IMF program, reflected in
the traditional view that in the wake of a devaluation it is necessary to
reduce domestic "absorption" and re-direct resources to exports, and
the views championed by Professor Sachs that the IMF program has failed to
respond to the real crisi in Asia and that moreover, application of the
contractionary program is in fact "the wrong medicine". I'm afraid
I'm convinced by the last person I read, but the issue is very stimulating, and
I am certain that as I read and study the excellent material you have so
generously made available, that my understanding will increase. Thank you for
your excellent service to knowledge and to understanding. By the way, I found
the "fun design" of your home page very enjoyable. I doubt, though,
that anyone could write more contorted English than Greenspan in his statement,
which requires several readings and re-readings to understand! John Lyle
