Exchange Rate Dynamics and Central Bank Interventions: On the (De)Stabilizing Nature of Targeting Long-Run
Abstract:
We develop a foreign exchange market model in which a market maker adjusts the exchange rate with respect to the trading behavior of chartists, fundamentalists and a central bank. While chartists bet on the persistence of bull and bear markets, fundamentalists speculate on mean reversion. The central bank seeks to stabilize the foreign exchange market by placing buy (sell) orders when the undervaluation (overvaluation) of the exchange rate exceeds a certain threshold. Since a one-dimensional piecewise-linear discontinuous map with three branches determines the evolution of the exchange rate, we use a combination of analytical and numerical tools to explore the extent to which the central bank is able to tame the behavior of the foreign exchange market.

The stability of an LTI system is determined by the roots of its characteristic equation, known as poles. A system is stable if it produces a bounded...

Stability of Equilibrium Configuration
A stable equilibrium occurs when a system tends to return to its original position when given a small displacement, and the potential energy is at its minimum. An example of a stable equilibrium is when a cantilever beam is fixed at one end and a weight is attached to the other end. If the weight...
