Target Zones and Realignments

Abstract: Recent contribution emphasize that the presence of exchange rate target zones has important effects on the within-band behaviour of exchange rates. We show that the implications of available models are strikingly inconsistent with European Monetary System data, and we propose a model of recurring realignments the predictions of which are consistent with the evidence.
