Drawing on evidence from a large sample
of speculative attacks in industrial and developing
countries, the author argues that high interest rates do not
defend currencies against speculative attacks. In fact,
there is a striking lack of any systematic association
between interest rates and the outcome of speculative
attacks. The lack of clear empirical evidence on the effects
of high interest rates during speculative attacks mirrors
the theoretical ambiguities on this issue.
