This paper evaluates monetary policy effects in a fixed exchange rate regime. A fixed exchange rate regime sometimes suffers from turbulence, owing to speculative attacks or other factors that significantly change the expectations of maintaining such a regime. We, therefore, develop a vector...

The Target imbalances within the Eurozone can be interpreted as a sign of a missing balance of payments adjustment mechanism for the member countries. As the Eurozone lacks a fiscal union, in economic theory it is more an exchange rate union or a system of fixed exchange rates than a monetary...

Evidence suggests there is a strong tendency among states to choose fixed exchange rates. Yet he interpretation of fixed exchange rates as a monetary policy rule remains unconvincing. Adopting an endogenous policy perspective, this paper argues that political-support maximizing governments...

In this study spanning four decades, we explored the relationship between the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) interventions and the validity of Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) across two distinct exchange rate regimes: the fixed exchange rate regime (1975-1993) and the managed floating regime...

This paper investigates purchasing power parity (PPP) between the G7 member countries after the advent of the Euro currency. A dynamic joint model of PPP and uncovered interest parity (UIP) is introduced to decompose the real exchange rate (RER) into two components. Interest rate differential...

This paper is a literature review of the current literature on currency “de-pegging”. The paper covers up-to-date literature on forces that drive countries to remove pegs. This paper covers mostly macroeconomic fundamentals of historic pegged currencies, and presents the most prominent...

Especially, after the 2000s, many developing countries let exchange rates float and began implementing inflation targeting regimes based on mainly manipulation of expectations and aggregate demand. However, most developing countries implementing inflation targeting regimes experienced...
