Book Description

ISBN-10: 0072425148 | ISBN-13: 978-0072425147 | Publication Date: October 31, 2000 | Edition: 1

This is the first text to be written on Emerging Financial Markets. The book is partially the result of a grant given by Citibank to Columbia Business School for the purpose of designing a new course in emerging financial markets for their MBA program. The text reflects the tremendous research in recent years seeking to explain the financial crises in Latin America and Asia during the mid to late 1990's and related issues such as capital flows, currency regimes, legal and regulatory matters, corporate governance, and the functions and structure of financial systems. Emerging Financial Markets suggests and explores three key foundations that explain why emerging markets behave differently than developed markets: (1) law, (2) institutions of information and control, and (3) inflation and currency stability.

4.0 out of 5 stars very good intro to emerging financial markets, April 7, 2006

This review is from: Emerging Financial Markets (Hardcover)

I used this book as a secondary book in an MBA class in international financial institutions. The students liked the book (not the price) and I enjoyed teaching from these very well edited teaching notes. Actually, teaching notes is not the right way to describe the book - as each well-researched and well-written chapter focuses on a very specific area. It was easy to integrate the material across different institutions books. Warmly recommended. Only suggestion: needs updating.

This is an excellent book as noted by the other reviewer. It is well organized, well-written and does an excellent job of presenting the context of finance in an emerging market. Although some of the book is now starting to get a bit dated, I still use a few selected chapters in International Finance classes. If it were updated, I could use the whole text.
