Intervention as information: a survey


Abstract: Research has generally failed to find reliable connections between official exchange-market interventions and exchange rates that are consistent with either a monetary or a portfolio-balance theory of exchange-rate determination. Recently economists have suggested that intervention might sometimes influence exchange rates through its effects on agents? expectations. This survey discusses newer research that analyzes informational aspects of intervention.
