Periods of high international capital mobility have repeatedly produced international banking crises. “Kaminsky and Reinhart present evidence that the probability of a banking crisis conditional on financial liberalization having taken place is higher than the unconditional probability of a banking crisis” (Reinhart and Rogoff 2011).
