News and Exchange Rate Dynamics (Hardcover)

Economics With the vast amount of information that economic operators and the public in general have to interpret nowadays, communication has acquired an extraordinary importance, unimaginable even a few years ago. The global economy is above all the economy of information. Communication, while always an art to some extent, is now becoming a science, as evidenced also by the creation of so many University majors in this discipline in Italy. This book is but an example of this phenomenon: it uses the tools of economic analysis and econometrics in order to explain the variations in exchange rates, by examining the international markets' reactions to the various forms of macroeconomic and political news.
