Abstract: 

With persistence in macroeconomic variables two aspects of exchangerate credibility emerge whose relative importance varies over time. Both aspects haveopposite implications for the relation between fundamentals and credibility. Hence,the effect of policy measures on interest rate differentials becomes ambiguous. In thispaper a Markov-switching VAR that allows for parameter shifts across regimes isemployed to test the hypothesis of regime-dependent determination of credibilityfor major EMS currencies. Regime-dependent impulse response functions revealsubstantial differences in the response of spreads to macroeconomic shocks acrossregimes.
