【 摘 要 】

The Argentine crisis witnessed, amongother things, a deposit run, the suspension of depositconvertibility, and a "boom" in the stock market.The authors argue that this boom reflects the cost thatdepositors were willing to incur to get their money out ofthe banking system, in light of the impending risks. Thisboom was generalized to all stocks, and more pronounced inliquid stocks. Furthermore, the boom was a symptom thatdeposits were effectively restricted, and that investorswere not able to circumvent capital controls.
