Abstract: Some models support the notion that exchange‐rate uncertainty promotes economic growth while others suggest that exchange‐rate uncertainty slows growth. Most empirical work supports the latter hypothesis, leading policymakers to strive for more stable exchange rates. The authors question the appropriateness of the methodology usually employed, and variables constructed to measure the impact of exchange‐rate uncertainty on growth. They use an alternative approach and find no discernable impact of exchange‐rate uncertainty on economic performance as captured by production.
