The foreign exchange risk premium in a target zone with devaluation risk
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted on the foreign exchange risk premium using a partial equilibrium model of portfolio choice with rates of return and a specific exchange rate target zone with risks of realignment and devaluation. Foreign exchange risk premium is the anticipated price of return differential between reciprocal bonds or deposits categorized in different currencies. Results show that the risk premium coming from exchange rate movement inside narrow bands and devaluation risks are insignificant compared with the expected price of devaluation.

An interpretation of recent research on exchange rate target zones
Article Abstract:
Exchange rate target zones are fixed rate regimes with finite bands that allow a certain degree of fluctuation. Research on the subject was initiated with the development of the Krugman model. Extensions of the model reveal that exchange rate target zones with minimal intervention is ineffective. Actual rate fluctuations show that frequent mean-reverting intervention on the target exchange rate level is more realistic.
