Résumé / Abstract Nous proposons un cadre de référence général pour les équations non-linéaires simultanées s'appliquant à l'analyse économétrique de modèles d'intervention des banques centrales dans les marchés des devises étrangères, en réponse aux écarts des taux de change par rapport aux niveaux cibles. Nous prenons en considération l'estimation des variables instrumentales liées aux fonctions de réponses possiblement non-linéaires et aux tests en matière d'interventions lorsque la forme fonctionnelle peut être non linéaire, asymétrique et lorsqu'elle peut contenir des paramètres de forme inconnue. La méthodologie applique, à un modèle à équations simultanées non linéaires, des techniques élaborées pour effectuer des tests en présence de paramètres de nuisance non identifiés sous une hypothèse nulle. Nous présentons les résultats d'une analyse empirique des activités de la Banque du Canada, durant la période de 1953-2006, relativement au taux de change …
