[fre] Une approche bilatérale des réalignements au sein du Mécanisme de change européen . (mars 1979 - décembre 1992) par Jean-Sébastien Pentecôte et Marc- Alexandre Sénégas . Dans cet article, nous présentons un modèle de réalignement du cours de change dans une zone cible...

Comment fixer les cours de change ? Annonces et correspondances maastrichtiennes, by Jean-Sébastien Pentecote and Marc-Alexandre SenegasThis analysis questions the distinction between two exchange rate fixing rules : a « time-dependent" rule under which the exchange rate is fixed at an...

This paper questions the impact of trade integration on business cycle sychronization in the EMU by distinguishing increase of existing trade flows (the intensive margin) and creation of new trade flows (the extensive margin). Using a DSGE model, we find that synchronization is weakened when new...

Bayoumi and Eichengreen’s (BE, 1994) article has been very influent in the empirics of the core-periphery view of fixed exchange rate agreements. They rely on the basic AS-AD macroeconomic model in order to identify supply and demand shocks through long-run restrictions in vector...

A growing literature has emerged to assess the importance and the channels of contagion during the recent currency crises which occured in the 1990s. However, little attention has been paid to the policy implications of the way to coordinate interventions in order to defend not only a single,...

This study extends Bayoumi and Eichengreen's (1993) empirical methodology in order to give a reappraisal of the core-periphery view of the enlarged euro area. We show how to derive two useful indices from the "correlation box" formed by aggregate demand and supply shocks. One measures the...

I extend the Bayoumi-Eichengreen (1993) approach by extracting new information from a scatter plot of correlation coefficients between shocks in order to better visualize how far a given country is from a monetary union. Indexes of distance and relative strength can be derived from either a...

Les analyses empiriques consacrées aux asymétries de chocs entre pays d’une union monétaire sont l’objet d’un bilan à l’occasion de l’entrée de la Slovénie dans la zone euro et de l’élargissement de l’Union européenne. Les résultats contrastés peuvent être expliqués...
