The Tobin tax in a continuous-time non-linear dynamic model of the exchange rate

Author

  • Giancarlo Gandolfo

Abstract

Starting from a new continuous-time non-linear dynamic model of the exchange rate, we formally show that the introduction of a Tobin tax reduces speculators’ profit and influences the dynamics of the system, making it more stable and less prone to chaotic motion.
