Abstract
Financial crises of every variety rocked
emerging markets in the second half of the 1990s. Nearly
every region experienced currency crashes, banking crises
were both numerous and severe, and a few countries, facing
extreme duress, defaulted on their sovereign debt. Not
surprisingly, then, there is considerable interest in policy
and academic circles and within the investment community in
gaining a better understanding of financial and economic distress.
