Abstract
Political motives drive governments into choosing particular exchange rate policies. This chapter analyzes distributive aspects of the exchange rate when the choice of exchange rate level is based on the conflicting interests of different sectors of the economy. The second part of the chapter examines exchange rate policy as a signal of the degree of government competence and the resulting electoral cycle. The third part considers fiscal policy and the way it affects the equilibrium real exchange rate.
