Abstract

In this paper we examine the usefulness of divisia money, relative to simple sum money, for exchange rate modelling in a period of rapid financial deregulation. This comparison is conducted using, as a convenient framework, the monetary model of the exchange rate. We demonstrate, inter alia, that for the sterling-US dollar exchange rate, over the period 1972: Q1 to 1990: Q2, that the use of divisia money makes a significant difference to both the long- and short-run modelling of the exchange rate.
