## Abstract I estimate a multivariate probit model to identify key variables that are predictive of banking crises. To add to the literature on this subject, I focus on the role played by unofficial dollarization of domestic banking systems. Unofficial dollarization is a source of vulnerability for

Abstract
Though currency and debt crises quite often occur simultaneously, the links between these two types of crises are not well understood. We review how currency and debt crises could be related due to common causes, contagion effects from one crisis to the other, and complementary budget financing aspects. In an empirical analysis based on a panel of 80 countries over the period 1975–2000, we first investigate the determinants of each crisis separately. Then we estimate links between both crises employing instrumental variables techniques. We find that, while there is a negative lagged influence of currency crises on debt crises, currency crises significantly increase the risk of contemporaneous debt crises and vice versa.

## Abstract It is often overlooked that, in addition to the integrity of protein‐coding sequences (PCSs), human health is crucially linked to the normal expression of genes by __cis__‐regulatory sequences (CRSs). These CRSs often lie at some considerable distance from the PCSs whose expression they
Anuj Dawar poses two questions which give ÿnitary analogies to the L owenheim-Skolem theorems. Grohe (Proc. of the 12th IEEE Symp. on Logic in Computer Science, 1997), has shown that the ÿrst of these, which corresponds to the downward L owenheim-Skolem theorem, has a negative answer. In this paper
