Product Description  
Historically, the fields of exchange-rate economics and microstructurefinance have progressed independently of each other. Recentinteraction, however, has given rise to a microstructure approach toexchange rates. This book focuses on the economics of financialinformation and how microstructure tools help to clarify the types ofinformation most relevant to exchange rates. The microstructureapproach views exchange rates from the perspective of the trading room,the place where exchange rates are actually determined. Emphasizinginformation economics over institutional issues, the approach departsfrom three unrealistic assumptions common to previous approaches: thatall information relevant to exchange rates is publicly available, thatall market participants are alike in their goals or in how they viewinformation, and that how trading is organized is inconsequential forexchange rates. The book shows how exchange-rate behavior previouslythought to be particularly puzzling can be explained using themicrostructure approach. It contains a combination of theoretical andempirical work.
