Government Finance in the Wake of Currency CrisesA. Craig BurnsideDuke University - Department of Economics; University of Glasgow - Department of Economics; National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) Martin EichenbaumNorthwestern University; National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) Sergio T. RebeloNorthwestern University - Kellogg School of Management; Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR); University of Rochester - Department of Economics; National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) May 26, 2003 Abstract: This paper addresses two questions: (i) how do governments actually pay for the fiscal costs associated with currency crises; and (ii) what are the implications of different financing methods for post-crisis rates of inflation and depreciation? We study these questions using a general equilibrium model in which a currency crisis is triggered by prospective government deficits. We then use our model in conjunction with fiscal data to interpret government financing in the wake of three recent currency crises: Korea (1997), Mexico (1994) and Turkey (2001).
