摘要
This paper studies the respective roles of the fundamentals and self-fulfilling speculation in currency crises. We first present a model of a fixed exchange rate system in which self-fulfilling speculation can arise following a bifurcation in the fundamentals. We then estimate the model in the case of the 1992-3 crisis of the French franc, and find some evidence that self-fulfilling speculation was at work.
