The mirage of floating exchange rates
No full textThis note summarizes some of the highlights of my longer paper with Guillermo Calvo”Fear of Floating.” Many emerging market countries have suffered financial crises. One view blames soft pegs for these crises. Adherents to that view suggest that countries move to corner solutions--hard pegs or floating exchange rates. We analyze the behavior of exchange rates, reserves, and interest rates to assess whether there is evidence that country practice is moving toward corner solutions. We focus on whether countries that claim they are floating are indeed doing so. We find that countries that say they allow their exchange rate to float mostly do not--there seems to be an epidemic case of “fear of floating.”fear of floating fixed exchange rates interest rates reserves

Razón común: entrevista con Agustín García Calvo
No full textAgustín García Calvo (Zamora, 1926) es una figura esencial e irrepetible de las letras españolas. Ha desarrollado una reflexión de gran calado sobre los mecanismos del lenguaje como pensamiento y acción que le ha llevado a una reinterpretación de la tradición filosófica, con particular atención a los presocráticos. García Calvo es también un pensador político tan lúcido como incómodo, incansablemente dedicado a arremeter contra los sobrentendidos ideológicos que consolidan el orden social dominante.
