This article analyses the validity of the Taylor rule exchange rate model from a new perspective. In a first step, a model-based exchange rate is derived for Germany and Japan following the approach by Engel and West (2006). This model-based exchange rate is determined by the fundamentals of the...

This paper explores the influence of Taylor rule deviations on the Deutschmark-Dollar and Yen-Dollar real exchange rate. Taylor rule deviations occur if the short term interest rate persistently deviates from an interest rate path consistent with the Taylor rule. It uses the behavior rational...

This paper investigates the sources of exchange rate fluctuations when monetary policy follows a Taylor rule interest rate reaction function. We first present a simple dynamic exchange rate model with Taylor rule fundamentals which is triangular in the long-run impacts of shocks to the output...

This study analyzes the question whether gold provides the ability of hedging against inflation from a new perspective. Using data for four major economies, namely the USA, the UK, the Euro Area, and Japan, we allow for nonlinearity and discriminate between long-run and time-varying short-run...
