Monetary policy rules in emerging market economies: issues and evidence
The paper reviews the recent conduct of monetary policy and central banks’ interest rate setting behaviour in emerging market economies.

In most emerging economies the interest rate responds ...

Also, we expect, on average, ventory investment when bank-equity f...

We expect firms with foreign ownership an...
