 FINANCE: OTC DERIVATIVES PLAYED IMPORTANT ROLE IN ASIAN CRISIS
Kregel comments that this provides one possible explanation why so much effort was made to prevent Mexico from suspending convertibility in 1994, and notes that structures similar to that used in Mexico were used in Asia as well as Latin America.
Kregel notes that information about the various derivatives are not easy to come by, but some of the litigations between US centre banks like JP Morgan and some Korean counter-parties throw some light.
But some of the Kregel views on OTC derivatives and their role in Asia, and banks having no real risks except when a currency becomes inconvertible, may perhaps explain the howls raised in Washington and elsewhere against Malaysia and its decision in September to make the ringgit non-convertible, and impose capital controls.

 MAI WOULD IMPEDE DEVELOPMENT, WON'T BENEFIT TNCS
Jan Kregel of the University of Bologna (Italy), Mr.
But it would be difficult to argue, Kregel said, that a similar regulation in the form of an Agreement on Investment would produce similar results since such an agreement contained not only the right of foreign investor to enter a country, but the right to withdraw the investment.
Kregel said, it might be necessary to assess the impact of opening trade accounts, and reducing trade barriers, along with liberalisation of FDI, on the composition of trade and thus on the trade balance.

 The Management of Global Financial Markets - Preface   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
According to Jan Kregel, professor of economics and a specialist in international finance currently working for UNCTAD, new strategies are greatly needed.
The analyses by Kregel and White are enriched by the comment of former deputy governor of Mexico's central bank, Ariel Buira, and a floor discussion including a number of prominent international experts.
Jan Kregel argues that more information would not have prevented the Asian crisis, a view which Jack Boorman disputes.

More generally, Kregel blames the IMF and its major shareholders for not assessing the extent to which the monetary and exchange rate policies of the United States and other major industrial countries affect global stability and have a negative impact on developing countries.
Like Kregel, he stresses the need for policy coordination among the G-7 countries, but emphasises that Japan and Europe are as important as the United States.
Jan Kregel argues that if free trade is considered as the best overall system, exchange rate stability among the major economies' currencies should be pursued much more energetically to prevent exchange rates from distorting the free trade system.

 Dialogue on Fund role in middle-income countries (Bretton Woods Project)
Jan Kregel of the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs, argued that the generally held belief that IMF quotas were sufficient was wrong.
Kregel also pointed out that the terms of the new contingent access line in the IMF strategic review were "not extremely generous" and uncertainty remained over how onerous will be proposed 'pre-screening'.
Interesting was Kregel's assertion that regional cooperation arrangements were acting "as equivalents to capital controls".

Jan Kregel presented FDI, Service Trade and International Capital Market by pointing out the fact that these countries, large both in population and area, could be self-sufficient economies.
Jan Kregel made a point that a country cannot rely exclusively on external finance for growth, as all the FDI in the world put together would not be sufficient enough finance per capita for the development of an economy the size of China.
Finally, Jan Kregel got back to the matter of transfer of technology and agreed to Shahid Yusuf’s opinion, namely that technology is not transferable, but that it must be developed locally.

Kregel (1998b) has shown clearly how the Asian crisis was quite different from the Mexico crisis, for example, and why the IMF policies that assumed a typically balance of payments crisis in the Asian case exacerbated the problems rather than eliminated them (Kregel 1998b, 17-18).
Hence, as Kregel notes, it is crucial to determine whether the Asian crisis was a liquidity crisis or a solvency crisis in order to establish appropriate policies (Kregel 1998b).

 REVIEW OF LUDWIG LACHMANN'S THE MARKET AS AN ECONOMIC PROCESS
Kregel discusses several conceptions of equilibrium whose differences hinge on the different roles played by subjective factors and objective factors.
But according to Kregel and Lachmann, subjective expectations, which are inherent in the market process, rob the objective data of all their significance.
The emphasis on the role of expectations to the virtual exclusion of the more fundamental constraints is what gives Kregel's Post Keynesianism and Lachmann's Radical Subjectivism their kaleidic nature.

 Karl Polanyi Institute of Political Economy
That debate prefigured the contrasting views of market society and the state published by Polanyi (1944) and Hayek (1944), which have shaped the continuing controversy over the limitations of the market as a form of social organization.
As Jan Kregel remarks, proponents of shock therapy for transition in the former Soviet Union fail to notice that the “market” does not yet exist (McRobbie and Polanyi Levitt 2000, p.
In Karl Polanyi in Vienna, The Great Transformation is the starting point for critiques of financial globalization by Eric Helleiner, Fred Block (making the case for controlling cross-border capital flows), and Marguerite Mendell (on alternatives to market-led transition).

However, those in charge of financial resource flows applied theories largely unconcerned with fundamentals, resulting in such financial market instabilities as volatility in the foreign exchange market.

They then explore the means by which instability might be reduced.

Jan Kregel of the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs, explained that the idea of national development strategies was to move away from the "simple poverty reduction focus of the MDGs" towards embracing the full range of UN "core issues" such as gender, environment and social development.
Poverty reduction strategy papers should similarly take into consideration this broader range of issues.

PRESS BRIEFING ON 2002 TRADE AND DEVELOPMENT REPORT
There was very little optimism concerning the possibility for developing countries to return to the kinds of growth rates required to increase their per capita incomes, Jan Kregel, Senior Economic Adviser, United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), told correspondents this morning at a Headquarters press briefing.
While UNCTAD had not made a formal forecast of growth rates for this year, informally he said that global growth rates would not be above 2 per cent.  It would depend on what policy measures were adopted and what sort of political decisions were taken.
