Abstract

The Canadian dollar is presently (1990) overvalued. The Canadian authorities should let it depreciate promptly to a level of 78 to 80 US cents, and then keep it firmly within this range. The general case is based on modern monetary theory and history. Specific criticisms of the Bank of Canada's defense of flexible exchange rates complete the argument. Le dollar canadien est présentement (en 1990) surévalué. Les autorités canadiennes devraient le laisser se déprécier promptement à un niveau de 0,78 à 0,80 $ÉU, puis s’engager fermement à le maintenir dans cet intervalle. La position qui est ainsi défendue s’appuie en général sur la théorie et l’histoire monétaires contemporaines, et en particulier sur une critique des arguments spécifiques de la Banque du Canada en faveur du régime actuel des taux de change flexibles.
