The Dollar
Author: Ariel Wilkis
Publisher: University of New Mexico Press
ISBN: 0826365388
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
Originally published in Argentina in 2019 and now finally available in English, Luzzi and Wilkis's acclaimed book traces the history of the economic, social, and political relevance of the dollar in Argentina and its popularization over the years. How did the dollar come to play such a leading role in Argentina's national existence? How and why did this global currency become a local currency on the other end of the Western hemisphere? Through the reconstruction of the social and cultural history of the US dollar in Argentina, Luzzi and Wilkis provide original insight into this sidebar of the dollar's history, showing how it became a "local" currency even outside its country of origin.

Mean Variance Causality between the Official and Parallel Currency Markets
Author: Angelos Kanas
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 28
Book Description
This paper examines the issue of mean and variance causality across four Latin American official and black markets for foreign currency using the corresponding monthly exchange rate against the US dollar for the period 1976-1993. Specifically, we apply an EGARCH-M model to study the behaviour of the Argentinian peso, the Brazilian cruzeiro, the Chilean peso and the Mexican peso against the US dollar. Furthermore, we apply a recent test due to Cheung and Ng (1996) in order to test for the existence of any causality and volatility spillovers among these official and black markets for foreign exchange. The main findings of the analysis are: (i) In contrast to the findings of previous studies using monthly rates, EGARCH-M processes characterize each bilateral exchange rate series in both markets; (ii) There is substantial evidence of causality in both mean and variance with the causality in mean largely being driven by the causality in variance; and (iii) The results indicate that the major exporter of causality is the Mexican black market with the black market of Argentina and the black and official markets of Brazil being the least contributors.

Argentina Currency Peg and Fiscal Reforms
Author: Nabil I. Al-Najjar
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Inflation (Finance)
Languages : en
Pages : 4
Book Description
Case A starts by reviewing several attempts made by three consecutive Argentine governments between 1973 and 1989 to fight the three-digit inflation rates that had troubled the country since the end of World War II. Next, the implementation of the currency peg under the broad umbrella called the "convertibility plan" is discussed and its rationale is explained in connection with the Central Bank's role in controlling inflation and market expectations. The case then outlines the fiscal reforms introduced in the early 1990s concerning public finance, market regulation, and social security. Finally, the outcomes of these policies are briefly summarized.

Currency Crisis
Author: Faridul Islam
Publisher: MDPI
ISBN: 3039215787
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 126
Book Description
Financial crises are nothing new in the annals of history of the capitalistic path of economic development; indeed, they are part of business cycle. The theoretical basis for this is well entrenched in the concept of ‘Keynesian Cross’. Tales of crises date back centuries, but have taken a new turn as the race for more globalization goes on, which involves liberalizing trade and opening up the financial sector. This has made many nations vulnerable to crises that are likely to be repeated, perhaps frequently. Based on recent experience, warning signs can be seen in the dollar-centric exchange rate, which is the mainstay for the stability of the current global financial system. To a careful observer, there is clearly fatigue in the system.
