Foreign-exchange-rate Books

Exchange rate policy is one of Latin America's most importante, and most complex, issues. From currency crises to dollarization, the topic has been economically crucial and politically controversial. This book provides an excellent analysis of the exchange rate problems and experiences of Latin American governments. With both general overviews and country case studies, the volumen bring a wealth of theoretical and empirical knowledge to bear on an increasingly important policy area.

A wonderful guide with all the basics to understand the different kinds of exchange rate regimes and the challenges they pose to different economies.

The best book about Exchange Rates and Inflation.

Dornbusch wrote a excellent book, this book is the best if you need to know about all the exchange rates theories and the relationship between Exchange Rates and Fiscal Policy. The book has chapters about Topics in Exchange Rates, Equilibrium Exchange Rates, Inflation and Stabilization and other topics. I recommend this book all the people be interesed in Exchange Rates Theories.

As a rabid anti rat. choice and game theorist, I was initially skeptical of this book. But I think it introduces fair ideas in laymen's terms. Now I know my enemy just a little bit better, and he smells like peanut butter.

It's the greatest book about Exchage Rate (ER) Determination, Krueger wrote an excellent classical book. This is a survey about the principal theories about the determination of ER, it's very easy to understand and important consults item.

tell me the criticism of Alfred Marshall?????

In his book, Mr. Ira Kawaller covers an amazing range of topics from risk managemant to stock options. I have never read a book so incredibly exciting in all of my life. Mr. Kawaller knows how to display the facts, provide informative facts, and decorate it all with a wit and charm that thrives in his book. "Financial Futures and Options" is THE book for risk management lovers everywhere. This book inspired me to change my career choices. After reading "Futures" (in one sitting!) I knew that prostitution and drug dealing was just not for me. I am now an economist making over $600,000 a year and loving it. Thank you, Mr. Kawaller. You turned my life around. (From what everyone is saying, I believe Mr. Kawaller now runs his own business called Kawaller & Company in Brooklyn, NY. If you ever need help financially, Mr. Kawaller will personally see to it that you get back on track. After all, risk can be managed if it is faced in a disciplined way. Ignore it and you face disaster. E-mail Kawaller and Company at kawaller@idt.net and good luck!)

Now in a third edition emphasizing recent developments such as the creation of the euro and the radical concept of dollarisation, A Guide To International Monetary Economics: Exchange Rate Theories, Systems And Policies is a scholarly and systematic overview of exchange rate theories. Chapters discuss asset models, dependent-economy models, exchange-rate policy, monetary unions, and much more. Expertly researched and coherently articulated by international economics professor Hans Visser, A Guide To International Monetary Economics is a "must-have" for college library and economics reference shelves, as well as intermediate to advanced economic students and professional economics seeking to stay abreast of the latest changes in common understanding of economic theory.

This collection profiles houses architects have built for their families. The book is interesting on an informational level (lots of ideas for those dreaming of designing their own homes) - but what is unique, is the interplay in each case between human and design elements. A rare book that succeeds on the level of story as well as information.

This title features Stein's years of collaborative work with his colleague Wendell Fleming from the mathematics department of the same university. The central focus of the book is on the use of optimal control and dynamic programming methodology to international finance issues such as finding the optimal debt for a country as well as deriving a theoretically based measure of a misaligned exchange rate. Since both of these are of paramount importance in assessing the probability of debt and/or exchange rate crises, the book opens up new avenues for research in related areas. On the other hand, the book also underlines the shortcomings of the intertemporal budget constraint(IBC) traditionally used in dynamic macroeconomics. Be warned that you need to have some preliminary exposure to optimal control and dynamic programming in order to grasp well the potential of the book. I must confess that after reading through Stein's articles and now his book, my enthusiasm about Obsfeld and Rogoff book has not been so lively as before.
