Abstract

This paper is one of four in this Working Paper series, focusing on financial liberalisation, along with those by Miller and Weller, Driscoll, and Blundell-Wignall and Browne.

Il traite également de quelques unes des politiques financières proposées pour restreindre la volatilité. Les résultats suggèrent que les deux dernières décennies ont coincidé avec une augmentation mondiale du niveau moyen de la volatilité de la rentabilité des actions, du rendement des obligations ...
