Exchange Rate Rules and Macroeconomic Stability

In: Exchange Rate Rules

Author

Listed:
  • Rudiger Dornbusch

Abstract

This paper discusses exchange rate rules in their role as macroeconomic instruments. We abstract throughout from the trend part of exchange rate behaviour — a crawling peg necessitated by differences in trend inflation — and emphasise instead the implications of exchange rate rules in providing flexibility of real wages or in affecting the stability of output or prices.
