The fundamental question addressed in the valuable effort of Dr Dieye is: Given that the conventional adjustment and stabilization programs have mostly failed, are there effective alternative stabilization models that could restore stability to economies, destabilized by internal and external shocks, more rapidly, sustainably, and at lower costs than the conventional paradigm? His equally essential answer, based on theory and empirics, is to adopt a risk-sharing approach to stabilization rather than the conventional paradigm of shifting or transferring risks of policy adjustments.
The many interesting and useful theoretical and empirical features make this book a valuable contribution to the field of economic policy making. It is among the first successful efforts in investigating the empirical implications of a paradigm whose theoretical consideration began a few decades ago. For all these reasons, policy makers, students of economics and finance, researchers and analysts would be remiss in not availing themselves of this highly relevant and unique work that proposes an effective solution to a serious problem that has been plaguing developing and emerging market economies
