1 The Fiscal Theory of the Exchange Rate: A Quantitative Assessment Alexander Kriwoluzky (U Halle & IWH), Gernot Müller (U Tübingen & CEPR), Martin Wolf (U Bonn) April 1, 2016
2 FTER Model description Mechanism Outlook 1 Fiscal theory of the exchange rate (FTER) FTER is implied by Fiscal theory of the price level (FTPL) Regime F: public debt/deficits determine P t Purchasing power parity (PPP) P t = E t P t Regime F: public debt/deficits determine the exchange rate.
3 FTER Model description Mechanism Outlook 2 Fiscal theory of the exchange rate Theoretical foundations Woodford (1996), Sims (1997, 1999), Dupor (2000), Daniels (2001, 2012), Bergin (2000) Our contribution and research agenda Assess empirical relevance of FTER Our research question for this project What is the contribution of US public debt to the Dollar-Mark exchange rate at the end of the Bretton Woods era?
4 FTER Model description Mechanism Outlook 3 Quantitative assessment of FTER Ingredient 1: Regime F in one economy We consider the US as large open economy in the 60 s and 70 s. Bianchi, Illut (2016), Davig, Leeper (2007), Chen, Leeper, Leith (2015), Sims (2010) inflationary pressure in the U.S. due to fiscal policy
5 FTER Model description Mechanism Outlook 4 Quantitative assessment of FTER Ingredient 2: Dollar-Mark exchange rate 1. Until August 1971 fixed exchange rate regime and Gold standard 2. From December 1971 March 1973 no Dollar convertibility into Gold, but Germany keeps pegging to the Dollar subject to realignments 3. After March 1973 FX figure flexible exchange rate
6 FTER Model description Mechanism Outlook 5 Model description Mechanism Outlook
7 FTER Model description Mechanism Outlook 6 Two-country New-Keynesian model US influences smaller country, not vice versa Germany small open economy Standard household and firms problem Cost-push shocks in both countries Fiscal policy (deficit) shock in the US Exchange-rate realignment shock
8 FTER Model description Mechanism Outlook 7 Model: policy regimes Regime-switching DSGE model 3 regimes which correspond to the regimes at the end of Bretton Woods
9 FTER Model description Mechanism Outlook 8 Regime 1: Gold standard and fixed exchange rate Regime with Gold standard and fixed Dollar-Mark exchange rates (until 1971) U.S. exogenous money supply U.S. active fiscal policy Germany no independent monetary policy This regime features explosive dynamics. Under the assumption that the regime will change with a positive probability, we obtain a mean square stable solution (Farmer, Waggoner, Zha (2011))
10 FTER Model description Mechanism Outlook 9 Regime 2: fixed Dollar-Mark exchange rates Regime with fixed Dollar-Mark exchange rate, no dollar convertibility into gold U.S. Taylor-rule with passive monetary policy U.S. active fiscal policy Germany no independent monetary policy Even with fixed exchange rates, FTER is at work: P t = ĒP t
11 FTER Model description Mechanism Outlook 10 Effects of a US fiscal deficit shock US price level 1 Exchange rate German price level Percent 10 Percent 0 Percent Periods Periods Periods With fixed exchange rates: P t P t
12 FTER Model description Mechanism Outlook 11 Regime 3: floating exchange rates Floating exchange rates U.S. Taylor-rule with passive monetary policy U.S. active fiscal policy Germany independent and active monetary policy With floating exchange rates the exchange rate adjusts.
13 FTER Model description Mechanism Outlook 12 Effects of a US fiscal deficit shock US price level Exchange rate German price level Percent 10 Percent 10 Percent Periods Periods Periods With floating exchange rates: P t E t (red line)
14 FTER Model description Mechanism Outlook 13 Model description Mechanism Outlook
15 FTER Model description Mechanism Outlook 14 Effects of a US fiscal deficit shock US price level 1 Exchange rate German price level Percent 10 Percent 0 Percent Periods Periods Periods With fixed exchange rates: P t P t
16 FTER Model description Mechanism Outlook 15 FTER and price-level spillovers Krugman, Obstfeld, and Melitz (International Economics): One interpretation of the Bretton Woods system s collapse is that foreign countries were forced to import unwelcome U.S. inflation... To stabilize their price levels and regain internal balance, they had to abandon fixed exchange rate and allow their currencies to float. We capture expectations of regime change to a float while being in Bretton Woods.
17 FTER Model description Mechanism Outlook 16 Effects of a US fiscal deficit shock 20 US price level 1 Exchange rate German price level Percent Periods Figure: red line regime switching probability of 30%, blue line 0 %
18 FTER Model description Mechanism Outlook 17 Anticipation effects of a regime change Key are expectations of change to a float and the corresponding depreciation of the Dollar We can measure the expected depreciation using the UIP condition: i t i t = E t [ e t+1 ]
19 FTER Model description Mechanism Outlook 18 Effects of a US fiscal deficit shock 1.2 US interest rates German interest rates 1.5 Interest-rate differential Percent Periods Figure: red line regime switching probability of 30%, blue line 0 %
20 FTER Model description Mechanism Outlook 19 FTER operates under (imperfectly credible) peg Fixed exchange rate, with possible switch to float (probability λ) UIP condition implies interest rate differential i t i t = λe t [ e t+1 Float] Expected depreciation depends on Probability of regime switch to float λ Size of the depreciation E t [ e t+1 Float] Debt/deficit matter for expected exchange rate, even under peg

22 FTER Model description Mechanism Outlook 21 Model description Mechanism Outlook
23 FTER Model description Mechanism Outlook 22 Outlook: Project Estimate the DSGE model on: Interest rates (Germany, USA) include model friction to allow for capital controls Inflation (Germany, USA) Exchange rate Market value US debt Perform counterfactuals.
24 FTER Model description Mechanism Outlook 23 Outlook: Agenda Apply framework to further episodes EMS Argentina Mexico Discriminate between two forces of currency devaluation unsustainable fiscal policy competitiveness of industry
25 FTER Model description Mechanism Outlook 24 Open questions and discussion Convincing despite of short-time periods? Should we consider different variables and/or shocks? Suggestions for further episodes
