This paper studies a dynamic model of crises with timing frictions that combines the main aspects of Morris and Shin (1998) and Frankel and Pauzner (2000). The usual arguments for existence and uniqueness of equilibrium cannot be applied. It is shown that the model has a unique equilibrium...

This paper examines how the dynamics of information influences the dynamics of coordination in an environment with … the indeterminacy in short-run dynamics, long-run outcomes are driven by fundamentals: There is a unique threshold below … short phases of high risk of a crisis and long phases of tranquility, which may explain why phenomena such as speculative …

This paper examines the ability of a policy maker to control equilibrium outcomes in a global coordination game; applications include currency attacks, bank runs, and debt crises. A unique equilibrium is known to survive when the policy is exogenously fixed. We show that, by conveying...

Global games with endogenous information often exhibit multiple equilibria. In this paper we show how one can nevertheless identify useful predictions that are robust across all equilibria and that could not have been delivered in the common-knowledge counterparts of these games. Our analysis is...

Market participants' risk attitudes, wealth and portfolio composition influence their positions in apegged foreign currency and, therefore, may have important effects on the sustainability of currencypegs. We analyze such effects in a global game model of currency crises with continuous...

This paper argues that adding endogenous information aggregation to situations where coordination is important - such as riots, self-fulfilling currency crises, bank runs, debt crises or financial crashes - yields novel insights into the multiplicity of equilibria. Morris and Shin (1998) have...
