Currency Unions reviews the traditional case for flexible exchange rates and countercyclicalthat is, expansionary during recessions and contractionary in boomsmonetary policy, and shows how flexible exchange rate regimes can better insulate the economy from such real disturbances as terms-of-trade shocks.
