This paper extends the framework derived by Jeanne and Ranciegrave;re (2006) by explicitly incorporating the dollarization of bank deposits into the analysis of the optimal level of foreign reserves for prudential purposes. In the extended model, a sudden stop in capital flows occurs in tandem...

We investigate the role of financial dollarization in the determination of real interest rates in emerging economies. In a simple analytical model, we show that a strategy of de-dollarizing the economy, if it fails to address fundamental macroeconomic risks, leads to higher domestic real...

We investigate the role of financial dollarization in the determination of real interest rates in emerging economies. In a simple analytical model, we show that a strategy of ""dedollarizing"" the economy, if it fails to address fundamental macroeconomic risks, leads to higher domestic real...

This study investigates the impact of systemic risks and financial dollarization on real interest rates in emerging economies. Higher systemic risks induce both higher real interest rates and increased dollarization. Using appropriate instruments for the dollarization ratio, the study overcomes...
