The effects of foreign exchange market operations in Latin America (2012-14)

The research network focused on studying the behaviour of foreign exchange markets and the characteristics and effects of foreign exchange market operations at a relatively high (daily or higher) frequency, using traditional analyses of foreign exchange market intervention and fundamentals as well as the so-called microstructure approach. The research network relied on the unique central bank expertise regarding the operation of the foreign exchange markets, which was enhanced through research collaboration. Research papers made use of high-frequency data sets of central bank transactions in FX markets. Professor Kathryn Dominguez acted as academic adviser to the network.
