Exchange-Rate Dynamics
“Exchange-Rate Dynamics” by Martin D. D. Evans, published by Princeton University Press on April 3, 2011, is a comprehensive examination of the theories and research surrounding exchange-rate economics. This 600-page book delves into the complexities of the foreign exchange market and its impact on the global economy, addressing both established theories and innovative microbased approaches that integrate microstructure models with macroeconomic factors influencing currency trading.
Readers will find an in-depth exploration of how variations in the foreign exchange market affect economic agents, including households, firms, and financial institutions. The book discusses the significance of heterogeneous information in trading decisions and its role in shaping exchange rates. It also highlights the influence of changing macroeconomic conditions on short-term exchange-rate dynamics, making it a valuable resource for graduate courses in international macroeconomics and finance, as well as for researchers seeking fresh insights into exchange-rate determination.
Official synopsis Publisher
Variations in the foreign exchange market influence all aspects of the world economy, and understanding these dynamics is one of the great challenges of international economics. This book provides a new, comprehensive, and in-depth examination of the standard theories and latest research in exchange-rate economics. Covering a vast swath of theoretical and empirical work, the book explores established theories of exchange-rate determination using macroeconomic fundamentals, and presents unique microbased approaches that combine the insights of microstructure models with the macroeconomic forces driving currency trading.
Macroeconomic models have long assumed that agents–households, firms, financial institutions, and central banks–all have the same information about the structure of the economy and therefore hold the same expectations and uncertainties regarding foreign currency returns. Microbased models, however, look at how heterogeneous information influences the trading decisions of agents and becomes embedded in exchange rates. Replicating key features of actual currency markets, these microbased models generate a rich array of empirical predictions concerning trading patterns and exchange-rate dynamics that are strongly supported by data. The models also show how changing macroeconomic conditions exert an influence on short-term exchange-rate dynamics via their impact on currency trading.
Designed for graduate courses in international macroeconomics, international finance, and finance, and as a go-to reference for researchers in international economics, Exchange-Rate Dynamics guides readers through a range of literature on exchange-rate determination, offering fresh insights for further reading and research.
