Imported or Home Grown? The 1992-3 EMS Crisis

Barry Eichengreen and Alain Naef

No 29488, NBER Working Papers from National Bureau of Economic Research, Inc

Abstract: Using newly assembled data on foreign exchange market intervention, we construct a daily index of exchange market pressure during the 1992-3 crisis in the European Monetary System, allowing us to pinpoint when and where the crisis was most severe. Our analysis focuses on a neglected factor in the crisis: the role of the weak dollar in intra-EMS tensions. We provide new evidence of the contribution of a falling dollar-Deutschmark exchange rate to pressure on EMS currencies.
