Order Flows and The Exchange Rate Disconnect Puzzle
The aim of this paper is to establish the link between the high frequency dynamics of spot exchange rates and developments in the macroeconomy. To do so, I first present a theoretical model of exchange-rate determination that bridges the gap between existing microstructure and traditional models. The model examines how dispersed microeconomic information known to individual agents outside the f...
متن کاملExchange Rate Pass-Through, Exchange Rate Volatility, and Exchange Rate Disconnect
This paper explores the hypothesis that high volatility of real and nominal exchange rates may be due to the fact that local currency pricing eliminates the pass-through from changes in exchange rates to consumer prices. Exchange rates may be highly volatile because in a sense they have little effect on macroeconomic variables. The paper shows the ingredients necessary to construct such an expl...
متن کاملA Gravity View of Exchange Rate Disconnect∗
The empirical “gravity” equation is extremely successful in explaining bilateral trade. This paper shows how a multi-country model of specialization and costly trade (i.e. a microfounded gravity model) can be applied to explain empirical exchange rate puzzles. One such puzzle is the fact that nominal exchange rates are enormously volatile, but that this volatility does not appear to affect infl...

Mankiw's Puzzle on Consumer Durables: A Misspecification

In this paper, we employ a more general utility function than Mankiw's quadrati...
