This paper makes inquiries into the adjustment and evolution of the exchange rate towards its new long-run equilibrium level following a change in money supply. Joint and sequential effects of interest rate parities and sticky prices on the rise, from the short-term through to the long-run...

This paper investigates the intraday effects of unannounced foreign exchange intervention on bid-ask exchange rate spreads using official intraday intervention data provided by the Danish central bank. Our starting point is a simple theoretical model of the bid-ask spread which we use to...

Many developing countries including Tanzania have often resorted to intervene in the foreign exchange market to contain the effect of temporary exchange rate shocks on inflation and financial stability. Highly variable exchange rates increase exchange rate risk and are likely to impede long term...

This paper sets out a political economy model of strategic exchange rates, focusing in the importance of external lobbying. Applying it for the recent history of the Japanese yen, we show that pressure from the U.S. trade negotiators contributed to an appreciation of the Japanese yen, as well as...

Evidence on the effectiveness of FX interventions is either limited to short horizons or hampered by debatable identification. We address these limitations by identifying a structural vector autoregressive model for the daily frequency with an external instrument. Generally, we find, for freely...

The major drivers of nominal and real effective exchange rates are investigated in a sample of 30 countries between 1977 and 2017. We used the multiple linear regression analysis by Fixed GLS AR1, and Pooled Mean Group (PMG). The main drivers of nominal exchange rate in the long run are found to...

This paper reviews from an international perspective the challenges faced by Cuba in unifying its exchange rate and compares various options to meet this objective. It argues in favor of a fast unification approach but cushioned during a transition period by lump-sum taxes and subsidies applied...

This paper assesses exchange rate development and volatility in six new EU member states (Cyprus, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia, and Slovenia) during the period November 1996 - April 2006. The study is motivated by the unavoidable participation of the new member states' currencies in...

This paper presents the results of a survey of monetary authorities with respect to their beliefs about foreign exchange intervention. The survey provides evidence on new intervention issues that would be difficult to investigate otherwise, such as conditional response times, non-foreign...

This paper is the first attempt to assess the impact of official FOREX interventions of the three major central banks in terms of the dynamics of the currency components of the major exchange rates (EUR/USD and YEN/USD) over the period 1989-2003. We identify the currency components of the mean...
