The document, among other things, reviews five case studies of fiscal policy during financial crisis featuring the Great Depression, the Banking Crisis in Japan in 1997, the Economic Crisis in Korea in 1997, the Savings and Loan (S&L) Crisis in the US (1980s–1990s) and the Nordic Banking and Economic Crises.
