The breakdown of the Bretton Woods system and the adoption of generalized ‡oating exchange rates ushered in a new era of exchange rate volatility and uncertainty. This increased volatility lead economists to search for economic models able to describe observed exchange rate behavior. In the present paper we propose more general STAR transition functions which encompass both threshold nonlineari...

The externality causes unemployment, overborrowing, and depressed consumption. Ramsey optimal capital controls are shown to be prudential in the sense that they tax capital inflows in good times and subsidize external borrowing in bad times. Under ...
