Factors Influencing Emerging Market Central Banks' Decision to Intervene in Foreign Exchange Markets /

Using panel data for 15 economies from 2001-12, I identify determinants of central bank foreign exchange intervention in emerging markets ('EMs') with flexible to moderately managed exchange rates. Similar to other studies, I find that central banks tend to 'lean against the wind,...

In testing other variables, I find evidence of both precautionary and external competitiveness motives for reserve accumulation.
