When countries do not do what they say: Systematic discrepancies between exchange rate regime announcements and de facto policies

Bersch, Julia; Klüh, Ulrich H. - 2007

We study the apparent disconnect between what countries announce to be their exchange rate regime and what they de facto implement. Even though discrepancies between announcements and de facto polices are frequent, there is a lack of understanding of actual patterns and underlying reasons. We...

New Zealand's Exchange Rate Cycles: Impacts and Policy

Mabin, Gemma - 2011

This paper explores the impact of New Zealand's exchange rate variability on the tradable sector, and policy options for dampening exchange rate variability. It finds that exchange rate variability in the medium term is likely to have a negative impact on the tradable sector. However, the link...

Fundamental and non-fundamental equilibria in the foreign exchange market : a behavioural finance framework

De Grauwe, Paul; Dieci, Roberto; Grimaldi, Marianna - 2005

We develop a simple model of the exchange rate in which agents optimize their portfolio and use different forecasting rules. They check the profitability of these rules ex post and select the more profitable one. This model produces two kinds of equilibria, a fundamental and a bubble one. In a...

Exchange rate dynamics in a target zone: a heterogeneous expectations approach

Bauer, Christian; De Grauwe, Paul; Reitz, Stefan - 2007

We present a simple behavioral model with chartists and fundamentalists and analyze their trading behavior in a floating regime and in a target zone regime. Regarding the floating regime the model replicates the well-known stylized facts like excessive volatility, fat tails, volatility...

The link between interest rates and exchange rates: do contractionary depreciations make a difference?

Sánchez, Marcelo - 2005

The link between exchange rates and interest rates features prominently in the theoretical and empirical literature on small open economies. This paper revisits this relationship using a simple model that incorporates the role of exchange rate pass-through into domestic prices and distinguishes...

Sánchez, Marcelo - 2006

This paper compares the link between exchange rates and interest rates under full information and two alternative asymmetric information approaches. It also distinguishes between cases of expansionary and contractionary depreciations. Full information results are not robust to the presence of...

Does the nominal exchange rate regime affect the long Run properties of real exchange rates?

Dreger, Christian; Girardin, Eric - 2007

This paper examines whether the behaviour of the real exchange rate is associated with a particular regime for the nominal exchange rate, like fixed and flexible exchange rate arrangements. The analysis is based on 16 annual real exchange rates and covers a long time span, 1870-2006. Four...

Trilemma policy convergence patterns and output volatility

Aizenman, Joshua; Ito, Hiro - 2012

We examine the open macroeconomic policy choices of developing economies from the perspective of the economic 'trilemma' hypothesis. We construct an index of divergence of the three trilemma policy choices, and evaluate its patterns in recent decades. We find that the three dimensions of the...
