摘要
We analyze the effectiveness of intervention in the European Monetary System by using data on the DEM-intervention activity of six European central banks, covering the period from August 1993 to April 1998. To allow for regime-specific intervention effects, we estimate Markov Switching Autoregressive Conditional Heteroscedasticity models. We find that interventions have only limited effects on the conditional means and variances. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
