A Model of Foreign Exchange Rate Indetermination

Author Info

Listed author(s):
  • Engel, C.

Abstract

Economic agents undertake actions to protect themselves from sort-run impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations: Nominal goods prices are set in consumer' currencies and firms hedge foreign exchange risk. A model is presented here which shows that these features of the economy can lead to inderminacy in the nominal exchange rate in the short run.
