Forecasting financial crises and contagion in Asia using dynamic factor analysis

In this paper we compare the performance of a regional indicator of vulnerability in predicting, out of sample, the crisis events affecting the South East Asian region during the 1997-98 period. A Dynamic Factor method was used to retrieve the vulnerability indicator and stochastic simulation is used to produce probability forecasts. The empirical findings suggest evidence of financial contagion.
