Thereby, particular attention will be paid to the dates the crises occurred in those regions. The Latin American region is represented by Argentina, Brazil and Mexico. The Asian region is represented by The Republic of Korea, Malaysia and Thailand. In a first step, the difference between a Dept Crisis and a Financial Crisis will be worked out, before the GDP growth rate will be defined in a second step.
