Thus, they are treated conjointly. Four different exchange rate regimes are analyzed: (1) foreign exchange markets with commodity money; (2) foreign exchange markets with fiduciary money; (3) foreign exchange markets with fiat money--fixed exchange rates; and, (4) foreign exchange markets with fiat money--flexible exchange rates. For the last eight decades, most countries have operated with fiat monies. For proponents of the fiat money standard, one of its desirable attributes is that it provides individual countries with considerable monetary autonomy. However, both analytics and experience indicate that this is not always the case. Whether a country has more monetary autonomy depends upon whether fiat money is paired with fixed exchange rates (regime 3) or flexible exchange rates (regime 4). More autonomy is possible with flexible exchange rates (regime 4). Such autonomy is largely possible because foreign exchange markets are allowed to accommodate the wide variations in national monetary policies. Under this regime, the purchasing power parity (PPP) theory of exchange rates assumes elevated importance in accounting for foreign exchange market adjustments. Exchange rate regime 4 has been in place (in many countries) for more than four decades, and there are critics. Those who advocate scrapping this arrangement generally favor a return to either regime 2 or regime 3. 000841603 588__ $$aTitle from PDF title page (viewed on October 25, 2014). 000841603 650_0 $$aForeign exchange market. 000841603 650_0 $$aForeign exchange rates. 000841603 653__ $$acentral banking 000841603 653__ $$acommodity money 000841603 653__ $$adeflation 000841603 653__ $$afiduciary money 000841603 653__ $$afiat money 000841603 653__ $$afixed exchange rates 000841603 653__ $$aflexible exchange rates 000841603 653__ $$ainflation 000841603 653__ $$apurchasing power parity 000841603 655_0 $$aElectronic books 000841603 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z9781606498200 000841603 830_0 $$a2014 digital library. 000841603 830_0 $$aEconomics collection.$$x2163-7628 000841603 852__ $$bebk 000841603 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete $$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=1815868$$zOnline Access 000841603 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:841603$$pGLOBAL_SET 000841603 980__ $$aBIB 000841603 980__ $$aEBOOK 000841603 982__ $$aEbook 000841603 983__ $$aOnline
