A key feature of the model developed is its explicit recognition of both private (fraudulent) and officially-sanctioned cross transactions between the two exchange markets. The principal lesson to be learned from the analysis is that popular notions as to the effects of devaluation or of other disturbances are to be viewed with considerable caution when the dual rate regime involves inter-market transactions UR - http://elibrary.imf.org/view/IMF001/15049-9781451948752/15049-9781451948752/15049-9781451948752.xml UR - http://www.imfbookstore.org/IMFORG/9781451948752 ER -
