Abstract

This paper investigates the effect of central bank intervention using a heterogeneous expectations exchange rate model. We apply Markov switching approach on daily USD/IDR exchange rate, intervention data of Bank Indonesia, from 2006 to 2012. The results support both chartists and fundamentalist regimes, and confirm the two regimes to be persistent. Moreover, the intervention of Bank Indonesia on foreign exchange is capable to drive the USD/IDR to its fundamentalist rule. However, on Bank Indonesia efforts to exert a stabilizing effect of foreign exchange interventions, the result is inconclusive.
