Comments on Laidler and Sumner and Zis

Geoffrey E. J. Dennis

A chapter in European Monetary Union, 1982, pp 191-194 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Through the use of alternative approaches these two papers come to different conclusions on the fixed versus floating exchange rate debate in 1980. Laidler presents a pragmatic and persuasive case for floating rates without stating the positive merits of the fixed rate alternative, while Sumner and Zis present a useful survey of the theoretical literature on the relationships between exchange rates and inflation, and by rectifying certain faults of the literature conclude that floating rates exhibit an inflation bias.
