Macro-financial Linkages in the Pacific Region

Macro-prudential regulation has become a hot topic in policymaking circles since the 2008–09 Global Financial Crisis, and much has been written.The distinctiveness of the chapters collected in this book is the perspective of the Asian-located economists writing. In each case, the contributing authors are based in the Asia-Pacific and bring a variety of academic, policy-maker and practitioner perspectives. I see a definite place on my bookshelf for this collection, not least as a means of background information to graduate students and researchers trying to come to grips with the historical context of rap-idly changing Asian markets in the period from 1990 to the present day.
