金融发展水平对汇率制度的选择效应分析

The Effect of Financial Development on Exchange Rate Regime Choice

汇率制度的安排对一国经济发展与金融安全具有极其重要的作用,不同的金融发展水平影响一国汇率制度的选择。从理论上论证在金融约束阶段钉住汇率制是有效的,而在金融自由化阶段浮动汇率制会取得正的经济效益。以金融发展水平作为关键解释变量,结合其他宏观经济变量,构建计量模型。计量结果显示,金融发展水平与汇率制度弹性呈现正相关关系。在当前我国金融基础设施尚不完善之际,人民币汇率制度应在钉住汇率框架内逐渐增加灵活性,待金融自由化条件成熟,再将之变迁至浮动汇率制。
