摘要:This paper examines the announcement effect of the financial policies that aim to promote the international usage of a previously domestic currency. To this end, we propose an open-economy monetary search model with transaction costs and use it to analyze international currency choices. We examine not only steady state changes, but also the transition path between these states. The announcement effect on transition dynamics depends on various factors such as the degree of risk aversion, searching friction and information structure. Our empirical estimation with SWIFT dataset between 2010 and 2018 reveals a significant but asymmetric announcement effect of RMB swap lines (RSL). We find that RSL announcements increase the RMB share in a country's import from China, but not its export to China. Finally, a calibrated model implies that RSL decrease RMB's transaction cost by 54.35%.
