A Generalization and Assessment of the Index of Managed Float

John T. Cuddington

Canadian Journal of Economics, 1993, vol. 26, issue 1, pages 235-40

Abstract: The large literature on the optimum intensity of foreign exchange market intervention contains two alternative characterizations of the central bank's policy choice variable: (1) the central bank's intensity of intervention in the foreign exchange mar ket and (2) the Frenkel-Aizenman (1982) index of managed float. J. T. Cuddington (1991) has shown the relation between these policy measur es by deriving the Frenkel-Aizenman index from a standard specification of money market equilibrium. Here, the Frenkel-Aizenman index is generalized to cover situations where both sterilized and unsteriliz ed intervention are possible.
