Exchange-Rate Management in Eastern Europe: A Public Choice Perspective

Macey, Jonathan
Colombatto, Enrico
Abstract
The paper presents a public-choice analysis of the existing exchange-rate regimes in transition economies, with special reference to Eastern Europe. The links between policy making, rent seeking and exchange-rate regimes are thus examined in detail from a theoretical point of view, and then compared with the existing empirical evidence. Some comments about the role of the West and of international organizations are also put forward.
