“…Features of self-fulfilling prophecies were entailed for developing Second Generation Models as per Obstfeld [6,7], Obstfeld and Rogoff [8], Bensaid and Jeanne [9], and Velasco [10]. These models incorporated the role of "expectations" of economic agents in predicting currency crisis and allowed for "multiple equilibria" while assuming monetary and fiscal policies to be exogenously set; thus these models shifted attention away from the foreign exchange reserves at central bank, the core of speculative attack in the models of Krugman [2] and Flood and Garber [4], to the decision exercising ability of an optimizing policymaker so as to devalue domestic currency.…”

“…Les crises étudiées dans ces modèles sont donc celles où, parce qu'ils pensent que la politique de change devient intenable, les opérateurs préfèrent se désengager avant de subir une dépréciation de la valeur de leur actif, ce qui déclenche la crise. Les modèles de deuxième génération s'intéressent au caractère endogène de la politique économique (Bensaid et Jeanne, 1997;Buiter et ai, 1998;Obstfeld, 1994Obstfeld, , 1997) et aux épisodes de crises autoréalisatrices (Obstfeld, 1994;Ozkan et Sutherland, 1995;Flood et Marion, 2000). L'attaque spéculative se déclenche quand les marchés ne croient plus en la capacité des autorités monétaires à maintenir l'objectif de changes fixes, obligeant, de fait, celles-ci à dévaluer.…”

“…Following the work by Bensaid and Jeanne (1998), Jeanne (1997), Obstfeld (1996, among others, let ∆E/E (= ∆E p /E p ) be replaced by π e ∆E/E 0 , where ∆E/E 0 is an exogenous amount of devaluation required by market fundamentals. π e is the perceived probability of devaluation (or the credibility of the central bank, as discussed by Barro and Gordon (1983)) by the private sector which could differ from the actual probability of devaluation, π.…”
