Choosing (and Reneging On) Exchange Rate Regimes
We use data on announced and actual exchange rate arrangements to ask which countries follow de facto regimes different from their de iure ones, that is, do not do what they say. Our results suggest that countries with poor institutional quality have difficulty in maintaining pegging and abandon it often. In contrast, many countries with relatively good institutions display fear of floating, th...
متن کاملPolicy 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 کاملThe impact of exchange rate on economic growth under different exchange rate regimes (in selected countries developed and developing)
This paper examines the role of different exchange rate regimes on relationship between exchange rate volatility and economic growth. To investigate this relationship, information of 53 countries with floating and fixed exchange rate regimes in the period of 1987-2016 are considered. GARCH technique is used to estimate exchange rate volatility and Difference GMM technique for estimating the mo...
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 کاملChoosing an Exchange Rate Regime
1The sequence within intermediate regimes is somewhat arbitrary. For example, if the band is as narrow as 2 4 % as in the European Exchange Rate Mechanism or even 1% as under Bretton Woods, then it would properly belong closer to the fixed-rate end of the spectrum. Similarly, if the adjustable peg involved a devaluation or revaluation every time a moderate shock came along, it would properly be...
