Policy Time-Inconsistency: A Comparison of Managed Floating Exchange Rate and Controlled Exchange Rate Regimes
Some empirical and theoretical studies have emphasized on fixed exchange rate regime in controlling time inconsistency, while others consider the role of target zone regime as an important factor. Thus there is no general consensus to decide which exchange rate regime may bring about less time-inconsistency. The main purpose of this study is to investigate policy time-inconsistency in exchange ...
متن کاملRunning Head: EXCHANGE RATE REGIMES AND INTERANTIONAL RESERVES Exchange Rate Regimes and International Reserves
In this paper we use a new classification of exchange rate arrangements developed by Reinhart and Rogoff (2002) to test whether reserve holdings decrease with increasing exchange-rate flexibility. Using pooled data for 137 countries over the period 1980-2000, we find several new results. First, the degree of exchange rate flexibility has an inverted-U relationship with the country’s reserve hol...
متن کاملCollapsing Exchange Rate Regimes: A Reinterpretation
Microfoundations are provided for a common model of balance of payments crises by showing formal equivalence to a standard overlapping generations model. Certain domestic policy rules are inconsistent with fixed exchange rate equilibrium, which is in agreement with previous results. However, when policy is consistent with a fixed exchange rate equilibrium (1) there are multiple stationary equil...
متن کاملThe duration of fixed exchange rate regimes
This paper studies the survival of fixed exchange rate regimes. The probability of an exit from a fixed exchange rate regime depends on the time spent within this regime. In such a context durations models are appropriate, in particular because of the possible non-monotonic pattern of duration dependence. Non-parametric estimates show that the pattern of duration dependence exhibits non-monoton...
متن کاملDollarization, Exchange Rate Regimes and Government Quality
The dollarization of the domestic banking system represents a source of vulnerability for emerging market countries, and a debate has emerged over whether the exchange rate regime has an impact on the degree of dollarization. This paper argues that the regime is far less important than the literature has previously claimed. Unofficial dollarization results from a lack of faith in the domestic c...
