This paper aims at measuring the robustness of Real Business Cycle international stylized facts across exchange rate regimes. I thus investigate th e impact of the Bretton Woods System and the ERM on the business cycle regularities. Thanks to bootstrap techniques, I measure the accuracy of the...

Empirical evidence suggest that nominal shocks play a major role in explaining real exchange rate fluctuations. I thus develop a two-country monopolistic competition model with nominal impulses, adjustement costs and price discrimination. I gauge the ability of the model to solve the quantity...

This paper adds to the empirical literature on business cycle properties across exchange rate regimes. Earlier research examined the consequences of the Bretton Woods system on international stylized facts. However, the conclusions might be biased by the oil shocks at the beginning of the...
