The Asian financial landscape has become more interconnected over
the past 2 decades. Previous financial crises have proven how
volatility can transmit rapidly across an interconnected financial
network. Moreover, empirical analyses have shown how it can
reverberate across the macroeconomy. With a summary of lessons from
past financial crises, this report also analyzes the impact of
deeper financial integration on economic vulnerability.
Lotteries have been used to make all kinds of public decisions ever
since the days of Ancient Greece. They can contribute to some of
our most important values, such as rationality, justice, and
democracy. But until recently, there was no theory to make sense of
lotteries and what they can do. The past few decades have changed
that with a veritable renaissance of studies on lotteries. This
book collects fourteen of the most important of these papers, and
offers a critical introduction tying them together. Table of
