This paper addresses the issue of the optimal stock of international reserves in terms of a statistical model in which reserves affect both the probability of a Sudden Stop-as well as associated output costs-by reducing the balance-sheet effects of liability dollarization. Optimal reserves are...

En este artículo se determina el nivel óptimo de reservas internacionales en términos de un modelo estadístico en el cual las reservas afectan tanto la probabilidad de una interrupción súbita de flujos de capital, como los costos en producto asociados, al reducir los efectos de balance...

Sudden Stops are associated with increased volatility in relative prices. We introduce a model based on information acquisition to rationalize this increased volatility. An empirical analysis of the conditional variance of the wholesale price to consumer price ratio using panel ARCH techniques...
