| Streszczenie: | It is shown in a game theoretic framework that it may pay off to signal a 'conservative' policy stance--giving a high priority to price stability--by appreciating the exchange rate. Such an appreciation demonstrates to domestic producers and more precisely to the trade union that the new policy stance is meant to be serious.

It explains the occurrence of exchange rate commitments to the deutsche mark, with appreciated rates. |
