Abstract

The paper examines global-scale effects of trade channels and capital flows in crises transmission. It reveals the correlation between a country’s integration in the world capital markets and its’ vulnerability to crisis developments. It includes the analysis of coordination and cooperation role in enhancing instability. During times of crisis, the ways in which shocks are transmitted do seem to differ, and these differences appear to be important. Empirical work has helped to identify the types of links and other macroeconomic conditions that can make a country vulnerable to contagion during crisis periods, although less is known about the importance of microeconomic considerations and institutional factors in propagating shocks. Such research could help identify characteristics that make countries vulnerable to contagion and could contribute to the development of specific policy prescriptions to reduce the risks of contagion, manage its impact, and help economies recover as efficiently as possible.
