This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the breakdown of the Bretton Woods System and the begin of floating between the major currencies, central banks have been formally freed from their obligations to defend the fixed parities of bilateral exchange rates. Nev ertheless, since then there have been countless occasions on which monetary authorities have officially intervened in the foreign exchange market. More over, numerous studies indicate that exchange rates have been much more variable than originally anticipated - in real and in nominal, as well as in short run and longer run measures (see for example Hesse and Braasch [1989] and Marston [1988]). Through the experience of high real sector costs, the topic of optimal exchange rate management soon reentered policy discussions. The term exchange rate management encompasses both the choice of ex change rate regime as well as active intervention policies within the given 1 system. Much of the recent policy discussion has focussed on the first issue, in particular proposals of how to reform the present international monetary order. And new systems such as the European Monetary System (EMS) have emerged for subgroups of countries. However, the question of finding the optimal system has not yet been resolved.

This book was released on 2013-07 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In response to a congressional request, GAO examined the role of government policy in determining exchange rates and the role of floating exchange rates in an interdependent world economy. The analysis was focused on: (1) the process of exchange rate determination, particularly the yen-dollar rate and the role of Japanese Government actions; (2) the constraints that international economic interdependence impose on economic policy; and (3) alternatives to the floating exchange rate system. According to some analysts, the floating exchange rate system is not an adequate method to facilitate the growth of world trade and investment. Some governments, especially Japan, are alleged to exert improper influence over exchange rates, while the United States does not exert enough influence. While appreciation of the dollar from 1980 to 1983 lowered the inflation rate, it also reduced the gross national product and caused the loss of over a million jobs. GAO found no support for charges that the Japanese Government pursued a policy to deliberately undervalue the yen relative to the dollar. Any intervention undertaken by that government was aimed at strengthening rather than weakening the yen. However, Japan could do more to facilitate greater international use of the yen. GAO found that exchange rates are affected by the international balance of trade, capital flows among nations, differences between countries' national economic policies and economic conditions, and perceived political risks and expectations. The complications of interdependence and the limits to current understanding of exchange rate behavior have prevented a consensus on the advisability of changing the current system. However, the interdependence of national economies constrain the range of domestic economic policies that the United States can adopt.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An analysis of the operation and consequences of exchange rate regimes in an era of increasing international interdependence. The exchange rate is sometimes called the most important price in a highly globalized world. A country's choice of its exchange rate regime, between government-managed fixed rates and market-determined floating rates has significant implications for monetary policy, trade, and macroeconomic outcomes, and is the subject of both academic and policy debate. In this book, two leading economists examine the operation and consequences of exchange rate regimes in an era of increasing international interdependence. Michael Klein and Jay Shambaugh focus on the evolution of exchange rate regimes in the modern era, the period since 1973, which followed the Bretton Woods era of 1945–72 and the pre-World War I gold standard era. Klein and Shambaugh offer a comprehensive, integrated treatment of the characteristics of exchange rate regimes and their effects. The book draws on and synthesizes data from the recent wave of empirical research on this topic, and includes new findings that challenge preconceived notions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The paper was prepared for the NBER-IMF conference on Exchange Rate Policy and Interdependence. It reviews the experience with flexible exchange rates and the main policy alternatives that have been suggested. The theoretical part develops a modern open economy macro model with an emphasis on capital mobility, real and nominal wage stickiness and expectations. The impact of disturbances is discussed in terms of the underlying structure, in particular, the relative role of real and nominal inflexibility. Among the main policy alternatives the paper reviews the McKinnon proposal for world monetarism, and the band proposal. Both of these schemes are found unsatisfactory in coping with the chief problem of the current systems namely how to cope with the transition to low inflation. The alternative of capital controls, likewise, would not avoid the adverse consequences of monetary stabilization it would only influence the particular details of the international transmission
Download or read book International Affairs written by U S Government Accountability Office (G and published by BiblioGov. This book was released on 2013-07 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: GAO sponsored a symposium of specialists on exchange rate behavior. The seminar participants addressed the yen-dollar exchange rates and analyzed the implications of floating exchange rates and economic interdependence on the conduct of national macroeconomic policy and the future of the international financial system. GAO found that it is questionable whether some policy to manage exchange rates can mitigate or reverse the adverse economic effects of exchange rate behavior. One analyst noted that there are alternative definitions of exchange rate overvaluation and several plausible sources of overvaluation. The limits to research in exchange rate behavior partially explain the disagreement over exchange rate management policy, and forecasting long-range exchange rates has not been successful. Although the symposium participants agreed that floating exchange rates cannot insulate an open economy from external economic disturbances or contain domestic disturbances within a single economy, they agreed that flexible exchange rates are superior to fixed rates. Panelists also agreed that policies aimed at countering misaligned exchange rates will have limited success if national macroeconomic policies differ markedly. Furthermore, a policy that addresses only the exchange rate, without addressing monetary and fiscal policies, can have only limited success.
