Floating Exchange Rates: Experience and Prospects

The Stabilizing Properties of Floating Exchange Rates: Some International Evidence

This paper analyzes the stabilizing properties of alternative monetary policy regimes. In practice there is a choice between two broad types of monetary policy regimes: a fixed exchange rate regime or a floating exchange rate regime. In this paper I compare exchange rate targeting with different floating exchange rate regimes: strict price level targeting, flexible price level targeting and out...

Nonlinearity In Exchange Rates and Forecasting

A Simple Dynamic General Equilibrium Analysis of the Trade-off Between Fixed and Floating Exchange rates

This paper provides a complete analytical characterization of the positive and normative effects of alternative exchange rate regimes in a simple two-country sticky-price dynamic general equilibrium model with money, technology, and government spending shocks. A central question addressed is whether fixing the exchange rate prevents macroeconomic adjustment in relative prices from occurring, in...

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 ...

Ffag Experience and Future Prospects

The outline of the various FFAG accelerators that have been constructed and the operational experience with different machines are presented. Common issues are identified, and contrasting experiences highlighted. The capability of FFAGs to meet the requirements for applications such as ion therapy, accelerator-driven subcritical reactors(ADSR), and muon accelerators are followed by a descriptio...
