No, 2 of 2019 (No. 137 [consecutive]) Special Feature: International Capital Mobility and Emerging Economies (Japanese only) |
In this special feature, we examine multi-directionally what impact recent international capital mobility had on emerging economies, and verify their policy implications. Specifically, we examine what kind of impact monetary policies of advanced countries and resource price trends had on emerging economies, not only by means of comprehensive time-series analysis and panel analysis but also through case studies on individual countries such as China, Indonesia, and Malaysia. |
