The forum attempts to answer these questions: How do you recognize a hidden fiscal crisis? When capital flows are volatile, what types of policy announcements can help fend off currency crises? Do government training programs for unemployed workers have an effect? What infrastructure investments reduce infant mortality? This book collects nine outstanding papers presented at the forum. The main theme surveyed in this book include fiscal policy, capital flows, trade, decentralization, labor markets, infrastructure, health, and worker training. The second volume collects eight more papers, concerned with household behavior and health, communities and welfare, local governments and basic services, and firms and governments under uncertainty.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOCONFERENCESCAPITAL FLOWSINFANT MORTALITYCRISIS MANAGEMENTFISCAL POLICYFISCAL ADJUSTMENTSCONTINGENT LIABILITYFISCAL DEFICITSDECENTRALIZATION IN GOVERNMENTLABOR TURNOVERSELF EMPLOYMENTGOVERNMENT EMPLOYEESSEVERANCE COMPENSATIONTRAININGURBAN UNEMPLOYMENTCHILD MORTALITYACCESS TO WATERSAFE WATER SUPPLYPOTABLE WATERSEWERAGETRAINING PROGRAMSPUBLIC EXPENDITURESRISK MANAGEMENTCONTRACTUAL SAVINGSMIGRANTSSOCIAL NETWORKSINDUSTRIAL WASTESINDUSTRIAL POLLUTIONWATER POLLUTIONEDUCATION ASSET PRICESBANK CAPITALIZATIONBANK DEPOSITSBOND MARKETSBONDSCAPITAL FLOWSCAPITAL MARKETSCENTRAL BANKCHECKINGCOMMERCIAL BANKSCONTAGIONCURRENCY BOARDCURRENCY CRISESDEBTDECENTRALIZATIONDEFICITSDEPOSIT INSURANCEDEPOSIT INTERESTDEPOSIT INTEREST RATESDEVALUATIONDEVELOPMENT ECONOMICSDOLLAR DEPOSITSECONOMIC ACTIVITYECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTECONOMIC PERFORMANCEECONOMISTSEMERGING MARKETSEXCHANGE RATEEXCHANGE RATE PEGEXCHANGE RATESEXOGENOUS VARIABLESFINANCE MINISTRYFINANCIAL CRISESFINANCIAL INSTITUTIONSFINANCIAL MARKETSFINANCIAL SECTORFINANCIAL STABILITYFINANCIAL SYSTEMFISCAL POLICYFORECASTSFOREIGN CURRENCYFOREIGN CURRENCY DEPOSITSFOREIGN EXCHANGEFOREIGN EXCHANGE MARKETSFOREIGN SPECULATORSHUMAN DEVELOPMENTILLIQUIDITYINTEREST RATEINTEREST RATESINTERNATIONAL CAPITALINTERNATIONAL CAPITAL MARKETSLABOR MARKETSLENDER OF LAST RESORTLIQUID ASSETSLIQUIDITYMARKET PRICESMINIMUM RESERVE REQUIREMENTSMONETARY POLICYNET WORTHNONPERFORMING LOANSPRICE STABILITYPRIVATE BANKSPUBLIC SERVICESRESERVERESERVE REQUIREMENTRESERVE REQUIREMENTSSAVINGSSTOCK EXCHANGESTOCK MARKETSTOCK MARKET INDEXSTOCK MARKET PRICESSTOCK MARKETSSTOCK PRICESUNEMPLOYMENTWorld Bank10.1596/0-8213-4833-7
