Preface
The Economic Issues series aims to make available to a broad readership of nonspecialists some of the economic research being produced on topical issues by IMF staff. The series draws mainly from IMF Working Papers, which are technical papers produced by IMF staff members and visiting scholars, as well as from policy-related research papers.
This Economic Issue draws on material originally contained in IMF Occasional Paper 186, Anticipating Balance of Payments Crises: The Role of Early Warning Systems by Andrew Berg, Eduardo Borensztein, Gian Maria Milesi-Ferretti, and Catherine Pattillo, and What Caused the Asian Crises: An Early Warning System Approach by Andrew Berg and Catherine Pattillo published in the journal Economic Notes. It was prepared by Jeremy Clift of the IMF’s External Relations Department. Readers may purchase the Occasional Paper ($18; $15 academic rate) from the IMF’s Publications Services.
