摘要:In this paper we test the asset market approach or canonical model of exchange rates. We treat exchange rate fundamentals as unobservable. The empirical results do not reject the canonical model, and therefore the embedded rational expectations assumption, in sharp contrast with previous empirical evidence. We also find evidence of feedback from the exchange rate to fundamentals, which is normally omitted in the theoretical literature.

In this framework we consider how changes in fiscal and monetary policy, and in reserve requirements, affect inflation, capital formation, and nominal interest rates. There is also considerable scope for multiple equilibria; we show how reserve requirements that never bind alo...
