Money, Banking, and the Determination of Real and Nominal Exchange Rates

International Economic Review, 1997, vol. 38, issue 3, pages 703-34

Abstract: The authors consider a model where spatial separation, limited communication, and stochastic relocation create a role for banks and country-specific currencies. The same factors also permit a deviation from the law of one price. The authors examine how monetary policies influence real and nominal rates of exchange and real and nominal rates of interest under both fixed and flexible exchange rate regimes. They also demonstrate that both regimes are characterized by an indeterminacy of both the real and the nominal rate of exchange.
