Summary:This paper focuses on exchange rate economics. Two main views of exchange rate determination have evolved since the early 1970s: the monetary approach to the exchange rate (in flexible-price, sticky-price, and real interest differential formulations); and the portfolio balance approach.

The literature on foreign exchange market efficiency, exchange rates and 'news,' and international parity conditions is also reviewed
