Abstract

In this paper a small portfolio balance model, in the spirit of Obstfeld (1983), is estimated for the sterling pound-US dollar exchange rate, over the period 1973 quarter 2 to 1983 quarter 4. It is demonstrated inter alia, that pure, or sterilised, foreign exchange market intervention can be effective, even when agents form expectations rationally.
