Book Synopsis Policy Assignment Strategies with Somewhat Flexible Exchange Rates Policy by : International Monetary Fund
Download or read book Policy Assignment Strategies with Somewhat Flexible Exchange Rates Policy written by International Monetary Fund and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 1988-05-13 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The choice of assigning monetary or fiscal policy to external balance is complicated when the authorities are concerned with both the current account balance and the exchange rate. A strategy of using monetary policy to control the current account via the exchange rate may fail, because the relative-price effect is likely to be offset by the effect of monetary policy on aggregate demand. An alternative strategy, in which fiscal policy is assigned to limit shifts in the current account while the exchange rate is not directly targeted, may have a better chance of having favorable effects on both variables.

Book Synopsis Functioning of the International Monetary System by : Mr.Jacob A. Frenkel
Download or read book Functioning of the International Monetary System written by Mr.Jacob A. Frenkel and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 1996-04-24 with total page 508 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fiftieth anniversary of the Bretton Woods Conference served as an opportunity to reappraise the desirability of strengthening the IMF's oversight of the functioning of the international monetary system. Whatever the design of an exchange rate system and the arrangements for the provision of international liquidity, it is widely accepted that to be effective such oversight must rest on a strong analytic foundation. These two volumes, edited by Jacob A. Frenkel and Morris Goldstein, present 30 analytic papers on the system as it functioned during 1987-91 and aim at conveying the flavor of those issues that commanded close attention in the Fund's research program.
Book Synopsis Blueprints for Exchange-rate Management by : Marcus Miller
Download or read book Blueprints for Exchange-rate Management written by Marcus Miller and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the growing debate over proposals for international monetary reform and the tentative attempts, for example at the Louvre and Plaza accords, to achieve greater coordination of macroeconomic policies. The first section draws lessons from the experience of the interwar Gold Standard, the Bretton Woods system, and the EMS. Four papers examine theoretical issues underlying the design of coordinated economic policies. Contributors explore the use of commodity prices as indicators of inflationary pressures and analyze exchange rate target bands using concepts first developed in the financial literature. The final chapters present empirical evaluations of the performance of alternative exchange rate regimes, adding to the existing literature on the design of gains from coordinated economic policies. The contributors, drawn from academic and policy circles, include leading advocates of exchange rate target zones and 'disciplined floating'. This book is of interest to students of international macroeconomics and policy coordination and to all those who have followed the debate on the evolution of the international monetary system.

Book Synopsis Specification of Policy Rules and Performance Measures in Multicountry Simulation Studies by : Mr.Bennett T. McCallum
Download or read book Specification of Policy Rules and Performance Measures in Multicountry Simulation Studies written by Mr.Bennett T. McCallum and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 1992-06-01 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much recent analysis of international monetary and fiscal policy issues, such as the choice of an exchange-rate regime or the design of a policy coordination scheme, has been conducted by stochastic simulations with multicountry econometric models. In these studies, it has become standard practice to consider alternative policy rules of a particular form that calls for departures of a policy instrument, from some “baseline” reference path, that are proportional to deviations of a specified target variable from its own baseline path. The present paper argues, however, that this standard rule form is seriously defective for evaluating such issues because the implied rules (1) often fail to be operational and (2) have associated performance measures that can be misleading in important cases. An example is presented that concerns the international “assignment problem” of optimally pairing instruments with policy objectives.

Book Synopsis International Policy Coordination and Exchange Rate Fluctuations by : William H. Branson
Download or read book International Policy Coordination and Exchange Rate Fluctuations written by William H. Branson and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2007-12-01 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the five largest industrial democracies concluded the Plaza Agreement in 1985, the theory and practice of international economic policy coordination has become the subject of spirited academic and public-policy debate. While some view policy coordination as crucial for the construction of an improved international monetary system, others fear that it risks delaying or weakening the implementation of macroeconomic and structural policies. In these papers and comments, prominent international economists consider past and present interpretations of the meaning of international policy coordination; conditions necessary for coordination to be beneficial both to the direct participants and the global economy; influential factors for the quantitative impact of coordination; obstacles to coordination; the most—and least—effective methods of coordination; and future directions of the coordination process, including processes associated with greater fixity of exchange rates. These studies will be readily accessible to policymakers, while offering sophisticated analyses to interested scholars of the global economy.

Book Synopsis The Reality of International Economic Policy Coordination by : H. J. Blommestein
Download or read book The Reality of International Economic Policy Coordination written by H. J. Blommestein and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The "reality" of international economic policy coordination is the subject of this book. This reality comprises the objectives of policy-makers, the various constraints faced by policy makers, and current economic knowledge about international coordination. The treatment of the subject matter is unique because the principal authors have first-hand knowledge based on their current or past involvement in the process of international economic policy coordination. This makes the book important and stimulating for both policy makers and academic specialists in this field. The study provides an in-depth analytical overview of the most important topics in the area of international coordination: the role of institutions, fiscal policy, tax policy, the international monetary system, the European monetary system, policy assignment rules and exchange rate regimes, structural policy and structural reform, methods and empirical effects of international policy coordination.
Book Synopsis Monetary and Fiscal Policy, the Exchange Rate and Foreign Wealth by : Patrizio Tirelli
Download or read book Monetary and Fiscal Policy, the Exchange Rate and Foreign Wealth written by Patrizio Tirelli and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-07-27 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book investigates issues of policy design in open economies. The performance of simple alternative policy rules is analysed in the context of theoretical models using both analytical solutions and numerical simulations techniques. One of the substantive contributions of the research is that policy evaluation should take into account, among other things, the implications of different rules for foreign wealth and the exchange rate. Hence the open economy models presented in the book include wealth effects and the current account.
Book Synopsis Exchange Rate Volatility and Misalignment by : Jacob A. Frenkel
Download or read book Exchange Rate Volatility and Misalignment written by Jacob A. Frenkel and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this paper, we analyze several proposals for reducing the volatility and/or misalignment of key-currency exchange rates. The proposals examined are a system of target zones, the imposition of controls or taxes on international capital flows, and a strengthening of international coordination over economic policies. We also review key characteristics of the behavior of major-currency exchange rates over the period of floating rates and examine the various criteria or standards for drawing inferences about excess volatility and misalignment. In evaluating exchange rate volatility, attention is directed toward the influence of the exchange rate regime, to the behavior of fundamentals, to the volatility of both goods prices and other asset prices, to the costs of exchange rate volatility, and to the nature of shocks facing the economy. Turning to misalignment, we examine the strengths and weaknesses of the purchasing-power-parity approach, of the underlying balance approach, and of the sustainability approach. We argue that inferences about excess exchange rate volatility and misalignment are subject to wide margins of error and that the exchange rate experience of the past 15 years is subject to multiple interpretations.
