Abstract:This thesis investigates the impact of the exchange rate regime choice on participants in the economy. The usual approach to the investigate the impact of the exchange rate changes in the economy is to investigate how do the changes in the exchange rate value impact the changes in the inflation rate. In order to stabilize inflation many central banks often adopt fixed or very stable exchange rates. This thesis takes another approach entirely and contests the narrow view of the exchange rate to just inflation. This thesis postulates that the choices of the exchange rate regime in itself dictates the behavior of economic agents. Under different exchange rate regimes the economic participants will make different choices and the difference in choices will be exhibited in the economic data. So economies with different exchange rate regimes will have different data properties for same economic variables. The focus of analysis is the transition small open economies which have to make a choice between stable and variable exchange rate regime. The interaction between participants in the economy is investigated through a dynamic model with optimizing agents under two states: stable and variable exchange rate regime. The participants analyzed in the thesis are: central bank, banks, households, firms and governments. Each participant makes optimal choices under each state of the exchange rate regime. Once the model is implemented interactions between the participants is investigated and how different choices change the data behavior. The model created is heavily skewed towards the impact of the monetary policy on the economy and does not investigate deeply into the fiscal policies. The predictions from the model are compared to the actual data on a sample of 10 transition economies: Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Croatia, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia. The model does very well in terms of the monetary variables like foreign debt, household debt. From the data it is clear there are possible fiscal policies which could offset the effects of a particular exchange rate regime, but on the data set this was only done in Czech Republic. Comparing the model and the data it is clear the choice of the exchange rate regime and the change of the exchange rate regime (switch in the regime) does cause different economic behavior of economic participants. This brings another light to the influence of the monetary policy on the economy since from the model and the data it is clear the choice of the exchange rate regime play a significant role in the process of decision making of economic participants. The model predicts and the data confirms there is a considerable differences in the economic variables between the two regimes. The most striking differences are in: household debt and foreign debt. The model and the data both show the variable exchange rate is superior to stable exchange rate regime

Title:Režimi deviznih tečajev in vedenje udeležencev v gospodarstvu
Abstract:Ta doktorat raziskuje, kakšen je vpliv izbire tečajnega režima na udeležence v ekonomiji. Standardni pristop k analizi vpliva spremembe tečaja na ekonomijo je analiza, kako spremembe v vrednosti tečaja vplivajo na vrednost in spremembe stopnje inflacije. Ker si centralne banke želji stabilizirati inflacijo, se številne med njimi pogosto odločijo za režim fiksnega ali stabilnega tečaja. Ta doktorat ima povsem drugačen pristop in zavrača ozek pogled na tečaj, ki je povezan samo z inflacijo. Ta doktorat določa, da izbira tečajnega režima sama po sebi diktira obnašanje udeležencev v ekonomiji. Pod različnimi tečajnimi režimi bodo udeleženci v ekonomiji sprejemali različne odločitve in razlike v odločitvah bodo vidne v ekonomskih podatkih. To pomeni, da bodo podatki iz ekonomij z različnimi tečajnimi režimi imeli različne karakteristike za iste ekonomske spremenljivke. Fokus analize je na malih odprtih ekonomijah tranzicije, ki se morajo odločiti med stabilnim in spremenljiv tečajnim režimom. Interakcija med udeleženci v ekonomiji je raziskana preko dinamičnega modela z optimizacijskimi udeleženci v dveh različnih stanjih: stabilnem in spremenljivem tečajnem režimu. Analizirani ekonomski udeleženci so: centralna banka, banke, gospodinjstva, podjetja, vlada. Vsak udeleženec izbira optimalne odločitve glede na stanje tečajne politike. Ko je model zaokrožen, se analizira povezanost med udeleženci in različne ekonomske odločitve bi se morale pokazati v ekonomskih podatkih. Model je narejen tako, da je naklonjen vplivu monetarne politike na ekonomijo in ne raziskuje globlje fiskalne politike. Predvidevanja iz modela so primerjana z dejanskimi podatki na vzorcu iz 10 tranzicijskih držav: Bolgarije, Češke, Hrvaške, Estonije, Madžarske, Latvije, Litve, Romunije, Slovaške in Slovenije. Model se je pokazal kot zelo dober pri monetarnih spremenljivkah kot zunanji dolg ali dolg gospodinjstev. Iz podatkov je tudi jasno, da obstajajo fiskalne politike, ki bi lahko odpravile slabe učinke posameznega tečajnega režima, vendar je v dejanskih podatkih to storjeno samo na Češkem. S primerjavo modela in podatkov je dokazano, da izbira tečajnega režima in spremembe v tečajnem režimu (iz enega režima v drugega) zares povzročajo spremembe v obnašanju udeležencev v ekonomiji. Ta raziskava na novo osvetljuje vpliv monetarne politike na ekonomijo, glede na to, da model in podatki jasno kažejo, da izbira tečajnega režima igra pomembno vlogo pri procesu sprejemanja odločitev udeležencev v ekonomiji. Model predvideva in podatki kažejo, da obstajajo pomembne razlike med dvema tečajnima režimoma. Največja razlika je v dolgu gospodinjstev in zunanjem dolgu. Model in podatki prav tako kažejo, da je spremenljivi tečajni režim superioren stabilnemu tečaju.
