目前國際間處於高經濟相依度情況下，迫求國際收支均衡已成為各國主要經濟目標之一；可是國際收支不均衡卻為許多國家普遍存在的現象，為了解決這個嚴重的經濟問題，有關國際收支調整問題之探討，已為各國研究國際金融之主題，本文卽順此潮流需要，採究一國消除國際收支不均衡的政策工具選擇――採調整政策或動用國際準備資產，並闡明最適國際準備之政策含義；與乎現行滙率制度下之國際準備需求行為。
本文自題目之訂定，觀念架構之形成，以及論文之撰寫，均蒙恩師余教授 德培悉心指導，詳解疑惑；而文稿草就之後，復蒙於百忙之中詳細審閱、順頁批註、逐字斧正，在此謹申最悃款的謝忱。
在研究期間，周所長 宜魁，嚴格的督導、鼓勵，並時詢以研究所得及進度，使吾不敢稍怠；口試時，蒙政大財研所張教授 慶輝、中研院經研所許教授 嘉棟指正謬誤，並提供寶貴意見，使本文增色不少；此外，同窗的切磋及研究生第七宿舍諸位摯友給予的鼓勵、協助，均使本文得以順利完成，在此一併致謝。
最後，感謝我敬愛的雙親二十餘年來茹苦含辛的養育與栽培。親恩浩大，永銘於心。
