Abstract

This study examines the shape and dynamics of output recovery following currency crises characterized by currency crashes or large reserve losses. Our estimation allows output to follow U, V and L-shaped paths following each type of currency crises. The results indicate that output recovery after currency crises is, on average, V-shaped. In addition, currency crashes initially lead to a decline in output, but the output fully recovers to its non-crisis level within three years. Currency crises characterized by large reserve losses lead to a smaller initial output cost, but a larger decline in output in the long run.
