The Asian Financial Crisis and Investors’ Risk Aversion
Tóm tắt
This paper investigates whether changes in U.S. and Japanese banks’ risk aversion, measured by changes in the relative risk aversion (RRA) coefficient, are associated with the 1997 Asian financial crisis. It finds that an increase in U.S. banks’ risk aversion is unambiguously associated with the Asian crisis, while an increase in Japanese banks’ risk aversion is only weakly associated. The results suggest that, in addition to deteriorating fundamentals of the affected countries, investors’ (banks’) increased risk aversion appears to have reinforced observed capital outflows.
