The Euro and Internal Economic Policy Coordination

This paper reviews, mainly from an institutional angle, the objectives, forms, scope, levels, implementation and challenges involved for internal economic policy coordination after the introduction of the euro on 1 January 1999. In particular, it identifies six different aspects of coordination (procedures, exchange of information, analytical framework, monitoring, policy interactions and joint determination of policies) and analyses the rationale for coordination in eight different policy areas. After presenting some of the challenges lying ahead, the paper concludes that although an appropriate institutional framework seems in place, it still has to undergo its baptism of fire.     

当前汇率制度下中国的货币政策效应分析

在中国当前的汇率制度下,外汇储备持续增加,使得基础货币投放量被动增加,进而导致了经济中流动性过剩问题.提高货币政策独立性的根本途径在于汇率制度改革:完善中国汇率形成的市场机制,培育相对均衡汇率;深化中国外汇管理体制改革,有序开放资本市场;汇率制度改革要与其他政策改革配合协调.     

Monetary policy, macroeconomic adjustment and currency speculation under floating exchange rates: the case of Bulgaria

This paper deals with the Bulgarian experience with exchange rate policy and the related macroeconomic adjustment in the transition period. It is argued that in the context of the Bulgarian macroeconomic environment, the exchange rate regime and the exchange rate policy (or the lack of such) did play a crucial role in determining the patterns of macroeconomic adjustment in this period. A simple general equilibrium model is suggested that provides some insights into the stylized performance of an economy under certain assumptions, similar to those characterizing the transitional state of the Bulgarian economy. Finally, some aspects of Bulgarian macroeconomic performance in recent years are analysed on the basis of the available empirical information and using the framework of the theoretical model. The paper concludes with the policy lessons of this experience.     

我国应放弃汇率名义锚

尽管我国宣布将货币供应量作为货币政策调控目标,但是,货币供应量近年来却高速增长,造成我国物价水平不断攀升。本文通过对近年我国货币政策实际操作考察发现,我国货币政策名义锚并非货币供应量而是汇率,其他货币政策工具均受制于此。汇率名义锚使我国货币政策走入困境,央行面临着物价稳定和经济紧缩的重大取舍。历史经验告诉我们,在巨大贸易不平衡下,汇率名义锚具有不可持续性。参照国际成功经验,本文建议我国应逐步放弃汇率名义锚,渐进迈向物价名义锚,实现货币政策独立和经济良性发展。     

Asymmetric Shocks and Monetary Policy in a Currency Union

We analyze the conduct of monetary policy in a currency union in the face of asymmetric shocks. In particular, we compare the stabilization properties of a currency union versus alternative exchange rate arrangements. The relative performance of a currency union is shown to depend on the extent of economic integration in patterns of consumption and production and on the relative weights placed on price stability versus employment stability in the monetary authority's objective function.

我国货币政策与人民币汇率的互动关系研究

基于SVAR模型研究我国货币政策与人民币汇率的相互作用关系,发现我国货币政策对汇率冲击的反应具有逆经济风向的操作特征,汇率升值,货币政策扩张;而人民币汇率对货币政策冲击的反应也符合经济理论,货币政策扩张会引起人民币汇率贬值。同时,在货币供应量作为货币政策变量时,汇率水平的反应表现为经典的超调现象,但在名义利率作为货币政策变量时,汇率的反应曲线则表现为延迟的超调现象。总体上,我国货币政策对人民币汇率变动非常敏感,相反人民币汇率对货币政策的反应相对较弱。     

开放进程中的货币政策目标和汇率制度选择

20世纪80年代以后,理论研究对货币政策目标和汇率制度选择问题进行了新的诠释,国际经验为此提供了实证支持。应用于中国的现实情况,在开放和发展进程中,不完全的资本流动性、现实经济中的多重政策目标以及宏观经济内外失衡之间的传导机制,使得中国在实施货币政策的同时,应该而且能够维持汇率的相对稳定性。     

中国外汇冲销干预和货币政策独立性研究

2002年以来,中国国际收支"双顺差"加剧,外汇储备急剧增长,货币供应量增长,通货膨胀压力凸现。为了稳定人民币汇率和抑制通货膨胀,中央银行采取了一系列外汇冲销干预措施。文章在分析外汇冲销干预有效性理论的基础上,分析外汇储备急剧增长下外汇冲销干预的效力和制约因素,认为外汇冲销干预短期内能抵消外汇占款、控制信贷增长,但效力有限;在长期内,外汇冲销干预不仅会影响货币政策独立性,还可能导致通货膨胀、利率上升、汇率升值乃至经济"滞胀",因而难以具有可持续性,最后,文章提出加强外汇储备管理,增强外汇冲销干预效力和货币政策独立性的政策建议。     

Capital Inflows to Hungary in 1995–96 and the Accompanying Policy Responses

In order to analyze the composition and effects of, and the policy responses to, capital inflows to Hungary during 1995–96, we present an analytical framework that emphasizes the distinction between net capital flows to the private and public sectors (the latter includes the government and the central bank). This distinction is essential in Hungary's case, because figures for overall net inflows conceal the fact that huge net capital inflows to the private sector were accompanied by large repayments of foreign public debt, covered by significant privatization revenues. We present indicators of the domestic monetary impact of net capital inflows in order to analyze the magnitude, costs, and effects of sterilization. We note that extensive sterilization and the use of privatization revenues for public debt repayment largely explain why capital inflows to Hungary did not have significant effects on the real economy or on domestic monetary aggregates in the period reviewed.     

Financial Inflows to Poland, 1990–96

Foreign exchange flows in Poland in the 1990s, especially during 1994–96, resulted from two developments. First, there was a current account surplus, as growth revived due to efficiency improvements, while macroeconomic policy limited domestic demand. Second, Poland had rejoined international capital markets and regained favorable credit ratings, triggering investment inflows. We can classify the effects of these inflows into three groups: changes in the institutional framework; changes in the stabilization path; and changes in the real economy. The crawling band introduced in May 1995, rapid development of the money market, and improvement of the central bank's capacity to intervene on that market are in the first group. As to the second, relative currency appreciation and import competition, constraining domestic price increases, contributed to the strong disinflationary push which began in 1995. Under the third heading, foreign direct investment and portfolio inflows helped to maintain rapid growth of investment and output.     

美国宽松的货币政策制造了世界性高通胀吗——基于次贷危机后不同经济体通货膨胀差异的分析

为了避免次贷危机所造成的不利影响,美国自2007年底开始大幅下调利率,并从2009年以来采取了量化宽松的货币政策,大量增加流动性。与此同时,2008年以来,世界各国尤其是新兴市场和发展中经济体发生了严重的通货膨胀。现存文献大多将此归因于美国宽松的货币政策,其实并不完全如此。虽然美国次贷危机以来的宽松货币政策确实提高了2008年以来的通货膨胀率,却不能解释新兴市场和发展中经济体的通货膨胀普遍高于发达经济体的事实。因此,美国宽松的货币政策只是扩大了原有的通货膨胀,而高通胀的根本原因仍然在于各国国内的高货币供给。
