LECTURE 25: Dornbusch Overshooting Model

Starting point of the Dornbusch model: Although adjustment in financial markets is instantaneous, adjustment in goods markets is slow. We saw that 100 or 200 years of data can reject a random walk for Q, i.e., detect regression to the mean. Interpretation: prices are sticky: can’t jump at a moment in time but adjust gradually in response to excess demand: 𝑝 =−ν(𝑝− 𝑝 ). One theoretical rationale: Calvo overlapping contracts. Q

Dornbusch overshooting model PPP holds only in the Long Run, for 𝑆 . In the SR, S can be pulled away from 𝑆 . Consider an increase in real interest rate r  i – π e (e.g., due to sudden M contraction; as in UK or US 1980, or Japan 1990) Domestic assets more attractive Appreciation: S  until currency “overvalued” relative to 𝑠 => investors expect future depreciation  se . When  se is large enough to offset i - i*, that is the overshooting equilibrium.

Dornbusch Overshooting Model Financial markets i – i* = 𝑠𝑒 UIP + Regressive expectations 𝑠𝑒 = -θ (s- 𝑠 ) See table for evidence of regressive expectations. interest differential pulls currency above LR equilibrium. (s- 𝑠 ) = - 1 θ (i – i∗) We could stop here.

Some evidence that expectations are indeed formed regressively: ∆se = a – ϑ (s - 𝑠 ). Forecasts from survey data show a tendency for appreciation today to induce expectations of depreciation in the future, back toward long-run equilibrium.

Dornbusch Overshooting Model Financial markets (s- 𝑠 ) = - 1 θ (i – i∗) What determines i & i* ? Money market equilibrium: The change in m is one-time: m - p = φy - λi 𝑚 = m; Subtract equations: SR 𝑚 - 𝑝 = φ 𝑦 - λ 𝑖 m - 𝑝 = φy - λi* LR 𝑦 = y; & 𝑖 = i* ] => (p - 𝑝 ) = λ(i – i∗) = - λ θ (s- 𝑠 ) = => Inverse relationship between s & p to satisfy financial market equilibrium. •

The Dornbusch Diagram (p - 𝑝 ) = - λθ (𝑠 − 𝑠 ). | overshooting | Because P is tied down in the SR, S overshoots its new LR equilibrium. its PPP holds in LR. - New B (p - 𝑝 ) = - λθ (𝑠 − 𝑠 ). Experiment: a one-time monetary expansion - Old A ? C | overshooting | (m/p) ↑ => i ↓ | | Sticky p => In the SR, we need not be on the goods market equilibrium line (PPP), but we are always on the financial market equilibrium line (inverse proportionality between p and s): If θ is high, the line is steep, and there is not much overshooting. 𝑠= 𝑠 − 1 λθ (p- 𝑝 ).

Excess Demand at C causes P to rise over time In the instantaneous overshooting equilibrium (at C), S rises more-than-proportionately to M to equalize expected returns. Excess Demand at C causes P to rise over time until reaching LR equilibrium at B.

Goods markets LR PPP 𝑠 = 𝑝 − 𝑝 ∗ LR Δ 𝑠 = Δ 𝑝 = Δm. The experiment: a permanent ∆m LR PPP 𝑠 = 𝑝 − 𝑝 ∗ Neutrality LR Δ 𝑠 = Δ 𝑝 = Δm. at point B How do we get from SR to LR? I.e., from inherited P, to PPP? SR Δ𝑠 = (1+ 1 λ𝜃 )Δm. at point C Sticky p = overshooting from a monetary expansion P responds gradually to excess demand: 𝑝 = - ν (p - 𝑝 ) Solve differential equations for p & s: p t = 𝑝 + (p0 - 𝑝 ) exp(- ν t). => 𝑠 = - ν (s - 𝑠 ) [SEE APPENDIX I] => s t = 𝑠 + (s0 - 𝑠 ) exp(- ν t). We now know how far s and p have moved along the path from C to B , after t years have elapsed.

Now consider a special case: rational expectations The actual speed with which s moves to LR equilibrium: 𝑠 = - ν (s - 𝑠 ) matches the speed it was expected to move to LR equilibrium: 𝑠 𝑒 = - θ (s - 𝑠 ). in the special case: θ = ν. In the very special case θ = ν = ∞, we jump to B at the start -- the flexible-price case. => Overshooting results from instant adjustment in financial markets combined with slow adjustment in goods markets: ν < ∞.

SUMMARY OF FACTORS DETERMINING THE EXCHANGE RATE (1) LR monetary equilibrium: 𝑆 =( 𝑃 𝑃 ∗ ) 𝑄 = 𝑀/ 𝑀 ∗ 𝐿( , )/ 𝐿 ∗ (,) 𝑄 . (2) Dornbusch overshooting: SR monetary fundamentals pull S away from 𝑆 , in proportion to the real interest differential. (3) LR real exchange rate 𝑄 can change, e.g., Balassa-Samuelson or oil shock. (4) Speculative bubbles: S can wander away from all fundamentals.

Appendix I: (1) Solution to Dornbusch differential equations How do we get from SR to LR? I.e., from inherited P, to PPP? Neutrality at point B at point C P responds gradually to excess demand: = overshooting from a monetary expansion Solve differential equation for p: Use inverse proportion-ality between p & s: Use it again: Solve differential equation for s: We now know how far s and p have moved along the path from C to B , after t years have elapsed.

} (2) Extensions of Dornbusch overshooting model Endogenous y (pp. 1171-75 at end of RD 1976 paper) Bubble paths More complicated M supply processes Random walk Expected future change in M Changes in steady-state M growth, gm = π : Regressive expectations: 𝑞 𝑒 ≡ ( 𝑠 𝑒 - π 𝑒 + π ∗𝑒 ) = - θ (q - 𝑞 ) (1) UIP: i – i* = 𝑠 𝑒 (2) => (q - 𝑞 ) = - 1 𝜃 [(i- π 𝑒 ) – (i*- π ∗𝑒 ) ] } I.e., real exchange rate depends on real interest differential.

Appendix II: How well do the models hold up? (1) Empirical performance of monetary models At first, the Dornbusch (1976) overshooting model had some good explanatory power. But these were in-sample tests. In a famous series of papers, Meese & Rogoff (1983) showed all models did very poorly out-of-sample. In particular, the models were “out-performed by the random walk,” at least at short horizons. I.e., today’s spot rate is a better forecast of next month’s spot rate than are observable macro fundamentals. Later came evidence monetary models were of some help in forecasting exchange rate changes, especially at long horizons. E.g., N. Mark (1995): a basic monetary model beats RW at horizons of 4-16 quarters, not just in-sample, but also out-of-sample.

(2) Forecasting At short horizons of 1-3 months the random walk has lower prediction error than the monetary models. At long horizons, the monetary models have lower prediction error than the random walk.

not just with parameters estimated in-sample but also out-of-sample. Forecasting, continued Nelson Mark (AER, 1995): a basic monetary model can beat a Random Walk at horizons of 4 to 16 quarters, not just with parameters estimated in-sample but also out-of-sample. Cerra & Saxena (JIE, 2012), too, find it in a 98-currency panel.

Possible Techniques for Predicting the Exchange Rate Models based on fundamentals Monetary Models Monetarist/Lucas model Overshooting model Other models based on economic fundamentals Portfolio-balance model… Models based on pure time series properties “Technical analysis” (used by many traders) ARIMA, VAR, or other time series techniques (used by econometricians) Other strategies Use the forward rate; or interest differential; random walk (“the best guess as to future spot rate is today’s spot rate”)
