Could we have learned from the Asian financial crisis of 1997–98?

Author

Abstract

Economists drew a number of lessons from the Asian financial crisis of 1997?98 for preventing such episodes or mitigating their effects. Some of those are similar to lessons drawn from the global financial crisis of 2007?09. But differences in economic development and sophistication of the financial systems of East Asian countries compared with those of the United States and Western Europe made it difficult to apply the lessons of the earlier crisis.
