This paper applies nonparametric test procedures to test for a shift in the volatility of nominal and real exchange rates for ERM members and nonmembers. The results imply a reduction in volatility for the ERM members, especially during the second half of the period of operation of the ERM. We...

This paper deals with hysteresis in the desired equilibrium exchange rate (DEER) arising from misalignment. When the actual real exchange rate departs from its DEER value, current account realizations--and consequently, debt service obligations--will differ from those assumed in the initial DEER...

This article deals with hysteresis in the fundamental equilibrium exchange rate (FEER) arising from misalignment. When the actual real exchange rate departs from its FEER value, current account realisations—and consequently, debt service obli gations—will differ from those assumed...
