## Abstract Following the demise of the Bretton‐Woods, increasing number of countries has been opting for flexible exchange rate regimes. Exiting from fixed regimes however is not without costs. Regime transitions have often been occurred in the midst of a crisis, which has considerable economic co

Abstract
This paper improves upon the recently developed literature on exits from fixed exchange rate regimes in three ways: (1) It allows for two indicators for post‐exit macroeconomic conditions, the change in the exchange rate and the change in the output gap; (2) it tests whether the distinction between orderly and disorderly exit is statistically justified, and concludes that it is not; (3) it deals with the sample selection problem. The results, subject to extensive sensitivity analysis, suggest that post‐exits are better when depegging occurs in good macroeconomic conditions — an unnatural move for most policymakers — when world interest rates decline and in the presence of capital controls. Importantly, ‘good’ macroeconomic policies do not seem to help with post‐exit performance. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

## Abstract This paper investigates the price and output stabilization properties of fixed and floating exchange rates using a small open economy model. The performance of the two regimes is compared in the face of money demand, aggregate demand and aggregate supply shocks. It is shown that the ran
The effect of isotopic proton-deuterium substitution of mobile protons on carbon spin-lattice relaxation rate is analyzed. The experimental results show that only carhonyl carbons are affected by the isotopic exchange and this is due to the fact that they follow a different relaxation pathway to pro

The valley-to-peak ratio of a 1 : 1 doublet undergoing chemical exchange can be calculated from the line shape equation. Numerical analysis provides a table that permits the evaluation of the rate constant from that ratio. This method is exact, without the approximations of previous equations that s
