Studying Crises Through Structural Breaks: A Retrospective on Asian Currency Crises

The present financial crisis gives us an opportunity to think in retrospect about crisis. The objective of this paper is to identify and analyze various indicators of crisis, which were affected by the crises in East Asia with a more scientific and systematic approach through studying structural breaks, before, during and after crisis. Dummy variables were used for both A5 countries and India. The variables do not show the same trend in case of all the crises hit countries. In India none of the variables showed structural break, as it was a non-crisis hit country. The merit of the paper lies in capturing crisis through structural breaks even in the short run through annual data.
