Abstract

A reduced form smuggling model is used to estimate the effects of official exchange control policies on black market exchange rate in Ghana between 1972 and 1986. It is found that an appreciation of official exchange rate or an increase in government policing efforts depreciates the domestic currency on the black market. Recent exchange policy reforms, however, seem to have changed the structure of the relationship between official exchange rate and the black market rate. [431]
