In model-based development, floating-point arithmetic is typically used for computations in algorithms and models. However, on many target platforms, there is no support for floating-point computations due to constraints on, e.g., price, size, power consumption, and execution speed. A solution is to use fixed-point arithmetic instead. Manually transforming floating-point code to fixedpoint code is

In addition, the paper analyzes links between these types of crises through conditional and unconditional probabilities. The empirical results for banking crises suggest that higher inflation and real interest rates increase the likelihood of a banking crisis,
