September 1981
- Antoine van Agtmael, of International Finance Corporation,
private sector arm of World Bank, coined term "emerging markets"
(vs. "Third World") to describe emerging markets in developing
countries which demonstrated real possibility of making real
money, despite admitted volatility; enjoyed higher economic
growth rates, boasted rich set of hitherto-ignored promising
companies; investing in basket of companies, countries would
provide diversification required to mitigate risk of investing
in individual stocks, countries.

Financial Crises in Emerging Markets
Http://Www.Nber.Org/Crisis/
This project, from the National Bureau of Economic Research
(NBER), studies "the causes of currency crises in emerging
market countries as well as the policies that can reduce the
risk of future crises and the adverse effects when such crises
occur." Along with a extensive collection of downloadable NBER
research papers on this subject, the site also lists upcoming
conferences on emerging markets and reports on past conferences.
Chapters from forthcoming books authored by NBER associates as
well as other authors affiliated with the World Bank, the
Federal Reserve System, and numerous universities are also
available for download. Those just beginning to learn about this
topic will want to read the list of questions that the project
is attempting to answer.
