Theme of Ph.D Thesis: Completed Large Research Project: To explain the movement of exchange rate behaviour the role of foreign exchange and monetary gold reserve has been neglected in the theories of exchange rate behaviour. Either it has been excluded as a determinant or treated as merely residual factor. But historically and in the present context foreign exchange and monetary gold reserve has played a reasonably important role in determining nominal exchange rate of the countries. More specifically it is true for the developing countries. It may not hold for the countries whose currency has a reasonable amount of use as international money. The currencies of countries who has economic and political hegemony, which often complement each other, has greater use as international money. For them the stock of foreign exchange and monetary gold reserve may not have much influence on exchange rate. The thesis shows historically as well as today how foreign exchange and monetary gold reserve is an important factor behind exchange rate movement for the underdeveloped countries but not so for the developed countries. This asymmetry between the developed and underdeveloped existed during Gold Standard and Brettonwoods period. In post-brettonwoods era the international monetary system has change but this asymmetry persisted. Since, stock of foreign exchange and monetary gold reserve does not have considerable influence on nominal exchange rate of the advanced capitalist countries, may be in the theories of exchange rate movement its role is neglected. We have developed a theory of exchange rate movement for developing countries by keeping foreign exchange reserve as key determinant. 1) India and China in WTO: Building Complementarities and Competitiveness in the External Trade Sector, sponsored by Planning Commission, Govt. of India.
