The theoretical framework of the project rested on the rules vs. discretion literature of the last 20 years. The model connects inflationary expectations with exchange rate policy announcements. The data covered as many transition countries as possible.
The activities on the project included literature search, background reading, and data collection and processing.
The CLS team prepared the chapters describing the exchange rate environments in Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. The report was printed by CASE: "Credibility of the exchange rate policy in transition countries", Center for Social and Economic Research (CASE), Report No. 38, Warsaw 2001.
