Financial ‘globalization’ and exchange rate regimes

ABSTRACT

This paper argues that, although international capital flows have increased rapidly in recent decades, financial markets are still far from forming a unified global market. It also argues that the effect of increasing capital mobility on national economic policy autonomy continues to depend, to a large extent, on the choice of the exchange rate regime.

KEYWORDS:
Capital flows; globalization; exchange rate regimes; exchange rate policy; liberalization
