The exchange rate in a model with heterogeneous agents and transactions costs
De Grauwe, Paul; Grimaldi, Marianna - 2002
In this paper we develop a model of the exchange rate. The existence of transactions costs introduces an important non-linearity. Agents have different beliefs about the future exchange rate. We show that this simple model creates great complexity in the market which is characterised by the fact...

Cheung, Yin-Wong; Fujii, Eiji - 2011
We study the differences of currency misalignment estimates obtained from alternative datasets derived from two International Comparison Program (ICP) surveys. A decomposition exercise reveals that the year 2005 misalignment estimates are substantially affected by the ICP price revision....
