Abstract

In the current policy debate, it is often argued that foreign exchange interventions by Asian central banks lead to an excessive appreciation of the euro against the dollar. This paper shows that in a three asset portfolio model the opposite holds: Interventions by Japan's central bank strenghten the dollar against the euro.
