This paper explores the extent to which changes to long-term interest rates in major advanced economies have influenced long-term government bond yields in Emerging Asia. To gauge long-term interest spillover effects, the paper uses VAR variance decompositions with high frequency data. Our...

During the Asian crisis, some crisis-hit economies raised domestic interest rates persistently in an effort to appreciate their currencies. Although Asian currencies eventually stabilized, it is still debated whether high interest rates contributed to the restoration of stability. Correlation...

In the wake of the 1997-98 financial crises, interest rates in Asia were raised immediately, and then reduced sharply. We describe an environment in which this is the optimal monetary policy. The optimality of the immediate rise in the interest rate is an example of the theory of the second...

This paper explores the extent to which changes to long-term interest rates in major developed economies have influenced long-term government bond yields in emerging Asia. To gauge long-term interest spillover effects, the paper uses vector autoregressive variance decompositions with...
