Not for Redistribution Preface This study was prepared in the Exchange and Trade Relations Department of the International Monetary Fund, under the direction of Hans Flickenschild and Martin Gilman, Chief and Deputy Chief, respectively, of the Exchange Systems Surveillance Division. Its authors are Hassan Al-Atrash, Anne-Marie Gulde, At- sushi Miyauchi, Lynge Nielsen, Mark Precious, and Eugene Spiro. Kirsten Fitchett and Virgilio Sandoval compiled the tabular appendix on measures affecting mem- bers' exchange and payments systems. The charts were prepared by Can Demir and Eugene Spiro. The authors would like to thank Joy Gough and Bogna Jezierska for excellent secretarial assistance and Margaret Casey and Elisa Diehl of the External Relations Department for their careful editing and coordination of production. The present study was completed in December 1991 and outlines developments up to the first quarter of 1991 as reported by members for the IMF's 1990 and 1991 issues of the Annual Report on Exchange Arrangements and Exchange Restrictions. These publications were assembled by Kyung-Mo Huh and Maria-Elena Ureta on the basis of inputs provided by many colleagues from the Exchange and Trade Relations Department and comments by staff from the IMF's Area Departments and member country authorities. This study has also benefited from comments by other members of the IMF's staff and members of its Executive Board. The views expressed, however, are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect those of the IMF's Executive Directors or other staff members. Developments in interna- tional exchange and payments systems were most recently reviewed in Develop- ments in International Exchange and Trade Systems, a biennial review published in September 1989 in the IMF's World Economic and Financial Survey series. Pre- viously, such reviews had been published annually as Part One of the Annual Report on Exchange Arrangements and Exchange Restrictions. It should be noted that the term "country" as used in this study does not in all cases refer to a territorial entity that is a state as understood by international law and practice. The term also includes some territorial entities that are not states but that maintain national currencies and exchange control regulations of their own. V ©International Monetary Fund. Not for Redistribution The following symbols have been used throughout this paper: ... to indicate that data are not available; — to indicate that the figure is zero or less than half the final digit shown, or that the item does not exist; - between years or months (e.g., 1991-92 or January-June) to indicate the years or months covered, including the beginning and ending years or months; / between years (e.g., 1991/92) to indicate a crop or fiscal (financial) year. "Billion" means a thousand million. Minor discrepancies between constituent figures and totals are due to rounding. The term "country," as used in this paper, does not in all cases refer to a territorial entity that is a state as understood by international law and practice. The term also covers some territorial entities that are not states, but for which statistical data are maintained and provided internationally on a separate and independent basis.

  • Survey Data on Exchange Rate Expectations: More Currencies, More Horizons, More Tests
    SURVEY DATA ON EXCHANGE RATE EXPECTATIONS: MORE CURRENCIES, MORE HORIZONS, MORE TESTS by Menzie D. Chinn Jeffrey A. Frankel University of California, Harvard University Santa Cruz (Revisions, March 14, 1999, and February 11, 2000) Forthcoming, Monetary Policy, Capital Flows and Financial Market Developments in the Era of Financial Globalisation: Essays in Honour of Max Fry, edited by Bill Allen and David Dickinson. Summary This paper works with a comprehensive set of survey data, on forecasts for 24 currencies (against the dollar), thus going beyond the traditional G-7 countries to consider smaller and less developed countries. We apply the data set to four topics. (1) We find some ability in the survey data to predict future movements in the exchange rate (and in the right direction!). As in past tests, the forecasts are nevertheless biased: variability of expected depreciation is excessive, especially at the 3-month horizon. (2) We find some evidence of a time-varying risk premium, especially at the 12-month horizon. But the coefficient on the forward discount is usually significantly greater than 1/2, implying that the risk premium is less variable than is expected depreciation. (3) We examine new data on forecasts at the five-year horizon and obtain, somewhat disappointingly, only weak evidence of regressive expectations towards purchasing power parity. (4) We have no success in an attempt to use the survey data in an equation of exchange rate determination. Acknowledgements: We thank Data Resources, Inc. for providing exchange rate data. James Hirakawa provided assistance in collecting data. We acknowledge the financial support of UCSC Academic Senate research funds.

Introduction Constitutional trends in the world today reveal a strong movement among new democracies to provide for judicial review.' The precise model may vary from that of the United States, with many countries prefer- ring to send all constitutional issues to a single court and some providing for review before a law takes effect.3 However, no one can doubt the basic trend toward review exercised by a judicial or quasi-judicial organ. Given the fractious nature of political competition, the most obvious reason for the rise of judicial review is that pluralist societies require a respected in- stitution or institutions to resolve disputes over the interpretation and ap- * Professor of Law, Southwestern University School of Law.
