Summary: This book deals with the responsiveness of economic policy, mainly monetary and fiscal policies, to balance-of-payments developments in nine countries (Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and the United States) during the 1950-66 period. Earlier research done by Nurkse [6] and Bloomfield [1] investigated whether central banks had followed the so-called "rules of the game" implied by a gold-standard system. In an analysis of 26 countries covering the 1922-38 period, Nurkse found that in about 60 percent of the cases changes in the domestic assets of central banks were compensated for by opposite movements in foreign assets. The book consists of twelve chapters and an appendix. The first three chapters are devoted to a presentation of the problem, a discussion of methodological issues,and a summary of the major empirical findings. The remaining nine chapters specialize in the analysis of individual countries. The organization well as the presentation and evaluation of evidential material are order to facilitate inter country comparisons.
