Abstract

We first analyze the orthodoxy of the Qatar and Dubai Currency Board (1966-1973) through analysis of legislation and statistical tests based on balance sheet data. We then compare an analysis of economic factors such as wage growth, inflation rate, etc. during the currency board period to the post-currency board period. We also provide the history of the currency board’s issue of notes. A companion spreadsheet workbook shows the board’s note issue, balance sheet, and other data in machine-readable form.
