During the twentieth century, foreign-exchange intervention was sometimes used in an attempt to solve the fundamental trilemma of international finance, which holds that countries cannot simultaneously pursue independent monetary policies, stabilize their exchange rates, and benefit from free cross-border financial flows. Drawing on a trove of previously confidential data, Strained Relations reveals the evolution of US policy regarding currency market intervention, and its interaction with monetary policy. The authors consider how foreign-exchange intervention was affected by changing economic and institutional circumstances—most notably the abandonment of the international gold standard—and how political and bureaucratic factors affected this aspect of public policy.

Michael Bordo, Owen Humpage, and Anna Schwartz explore the evolution of exchange-market policyprimarily foreign-exchange interventionin the United States. Based on decades of research with unique, heretofore confidential, data consisting of all official US foreign-exchange transactions conducted through the Federal Reserve Bank of New York between 1962 and 1995, "Strained Relations" is fundamentally a study of institutional learning and adaptation under changing circumstances, most notably the abandonment of the international gold standard. The authors narrate the economic developments, the political environment, and the bureaucratic issues that fostered this evolution. They use many economic studies of foreign-exchange-market intervention, but the book is not a survey of the voluminous literature or empirical analysis; it is primarily a historical narrative. A fact-based history of the modern dollar with the unifying perspective of how the US has tried to influence how much the dollar is worth abroad while balancing the priority of keeping inflation low at home, "Strained Relations" is an intriguing story of gold, secrets, and economic intervention."

Download Brief History of the Gold Standard (GS) in the United States Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
The U.S. monetary system is based on paper money backed by the full faith and credit of the fed. gov't. The currency is neither valued in, backed by, nor officially convertible into gold or silver. Through much of its history, however, the U.S. was on a metallic standard of one sort or another. On occasion, there are calls to return to such a system. Such calls are usually accompanied by claims that gold or silver backing has provided considerable economic benefits in the past. This report reviews the history of the GS in the U.S. It clarifies the dates during which the GS was used, the type of GS in operation at the various times, and the statutory changes used to alter the GS and eventually end it. It is not a discussion of the merits of the GS. A print on demand oub.

Download The Historical Origins of U.S. Exchange Market Intervention Policy Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
The present set of arrangements for U.S. exchange market intervention policy was largely developed after 1961 during the Bretton Woods era. However, that set had important historical precedents. In this paper we examine precedents to current arrangements, focusing on three historical eras: pre-1934 operations; the Exchange Stabilization Fund operations beginning in 1934; and the Bretton Woods era. We describe operations by the Second Bank of the United States in the pre-Civil War period and then operations by the U.S. Treasury in the post-Civil War period. After establishment of the Federal Reserve in 1914, the New York Fed engaged in isolated exchange market policies in the 1920s and 1930s, first under the direction of the Governor Benjamin Strong until his death in 1928, thereafter, under the direction of his successor, George Harrison. We then examine operations of the Exchange Stabilization Fund that the Gold Reserve Act of 1934 created as a Treasury Department agency. We exploit unique unpublished sources to analyze its dealings with the Banque de France and the Bank of England before and after the Tripartite Agreement. Finally, based on a unique data set of all U.S. Treasury and Federal Reserve foreign-exchange transactions, we discuss U.S. efforts from 1961 through 1972 to defend the dollar's parity under the Bretton Woods system.
