Overview of Economic Crises and Uncertainty

This book explores how the economic sphere has experienced an ultimate shape after the occurrence of several crises, since 2000s. The subprime crisis has triggered the transition from conventional to unconventional frameworks in most industrialised and emerging economies. This book highlights how the sovereign debt crisis has exacerbated the economic environment and raised economic uncertainty. This book asserts that markets integration has boosted contagion and risk spillovers among financial markets. Moreover, the Brexit and US-China trade tension have intensified uncertainty and the economic challenges.
