β¦ Synopsis
The discrete time analogue of the continuous time Krugman target zone model is developed in order to capture the typical volatility clusters and fat-tailed distributed innovations of exchange rates. It is shown that under these more general stochastic conditions the S-shaped relation between exchange rate and fundamentals is preserved, but is less pronounced. The model is tested for its S-shape and stochastic properties. Two clearly distinct sets of EMS currencies are detected on the basis of the curvature features. One-step-ahead realignment probabilities are used as an alternative evaluation method.

In this paper we investigate the discrete-time model reference adaptive control problem, ascertain the extent to which the classical assumptions are necessary and provide several suitably modified inviolable requirements. In particular, we show that under a closed-loop causality constraint the probl
