Applying a Markovswitching dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model, switches in the policy parameters and the volatilities of shocks hitting the economies are estimated and quantified. Results indicate the presence of regimes of weak and strong responses of the central banks to exchange rate movements as well as periods of high and low volatility. Whereas all three economies switched to a less volatile regime over time, findings on changes in the policy parameters reveal a lower reaction to exchange rate movements in the Czech Republic and Poland, but an increased attention to it in Hungary. Simulations for the Czech Republic and Poland also suggest their respective central banks, rather than a sound macroeconomic environment, being accountable for reducing volatility in variables like inflation and output. In Hungary, their favorable developments can be attributed to a larger extent to the reduction in the size of external disturbances.\n\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","jelcode":[552,448,87],"keyword":[662,661,521],"class_list":["post-1480","publication","type-publication","status-publish","hentry","jelcode-c32","jelcode-e58","jelcode-f41","keyword-inflation-targeting","keyword-markov-switching-dsge-models","keyword-small-open-economy"],"acf":{"year":2015,"month":1,"day":"","volume":"","number":"139","pages":29,"reviewed":"0","citeid":"FIW_WP_139","fiwseries":"FIW Working Papers","event":null},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Switching to Exchange Rate Flexibility?
