Abstract: | Industrial countries moving from fixed to floating exchange rate regimes experience dramatic rises in the variability of the real exchange rate. This evidence, forcefully documented by Mussa (1987) is a puzzle because it is hard to reconcile with the assumption of flexible prices. This article lays out a dynamic general equilibrium model of a small open economy that combines nominal price rigidity with a systematic behaviour of monetary policy able to approximate a continuum of exchange rate regimes. A version of the model with complete exchange rate pass-through is broadly consistent with Mussa's findings. |
