Stabilization Programs, Monetary Policy and Exchange Rate Movements in Emerging Markets Economies I use a unique data set consisting of observations on more than 300,000 metropolitan SAT takers from the 1994 cohort, matched to the high schools that students attended. The size of this sample permits accurate estimation of both peer quality and average performance for the great majority of high schools in each of 177 metropolitan housing markets. I find no evidence that the association between peer group and student performance is stronger in high-choice than in low-choice markets | UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Stabilization Programs Monetary Policy and Exchange Rate Movements in Emerging Markets Economies A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Economics by Alexandre Soriano Alencar 2004 UMI Number 3121215 INFORMATION TO USERS The quality of this reproduction is dependent upon the quality of the copy submitted.
