A Model of the Joint Distribution of Banking and Exchange-Rate Crises

We develop a simple framework for studying the joint distribution of banking and currency crises triggered by real shocks.

Studying currency and bank collapses either in isolation or in perfect correlation with each other is inappropriate, producing biased estimates of the likelihood of crises.
