Currency Crisis

Dear Colleagues,

The recent experience with bouts of financial crisis and the ever-rising possibility of another (perhaps more severe) one demands that academics across the globe—importantly those working in the area of economics and finance—take a serious look at the trends in the financial market, both at the national and global levels. It is our role and responsibility to present emerging facts that might point to the turn of event in the market which may produce another crisis in the not-too-distant future! The toll it takes on individuals and the nation is enormous and so painful that we need to come forward and act from a professional standpoint sooner rather than later.

In light of this concern, we are publishing a Special Issue focusing primarily on a potential financial/economic crisis. Several economists have been raising the red flag for some time. Our aim is to identify early signs of some economic booby-trap—if any—that lie ahead with a deep desire to ambush us. We believe that a set of serious academic papers by scholars of your demeanour would be valuable, with the ability to offer valuable insight, and perhaps guidance to the policy-makers to stay prepared early on, prompting them to be ready with the necessary tools to respond to the eventuality, should such a possibility even arise. Such preparedness will enable us to avoid one, or keep the adverse effect at minimal, before we have to confront the reality of being struck by the crisis. Both theoretical and empirical papers are welcome.

Please consider submitting an article for publication in this journal, which strictly follows a double-blind review process to ensure quality. Please note that we are offering a very broad latitude for authors to accommodate papers from a wide array in the discipline. Should you have questions, please feel free to address them to me.

Thank you!

Sincerely,
