| Summary | Annotation This paper proposes a template for assessing whether or not a country's economic and financial characteristics make it an appropriate candidate for a pegged exchange rate regime. the template employs quantifiable measures of attributes-trade orientation, financial integration, economic diversification, macroeconomic stabilization, credibility, and fear-offloating type effects-that have been identified in the literature as key potential determinants of regime choice. to illustrate, the template is applied to Kazakhstan and Pakistan. the results indicate a fairly strong case against a pegged regime in Pakistan. the implications for Kazakhstan are mixed, although changes in that economy in recent years strengthen the case against a peg. |
