Fiscal sustainability and currency crises: An empirical analysis
Alexis Cruz-Rodriguez
MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany
Abstract:
The aim of this article is to assess whether a fiscal sustainability indicator (FSI) can be used as an early warning indicator for predicting the probability that a currency crisis occurs. Using the FSI developed by Croce and Juan-Ramón (2003) and two different definitions of currency crisis, a probit model is estimated. The results suggest that the lagged FSI has an explanatory power over currency crises in a selection of countries.
