Based on Frankel-Froot, uncertainty exists when the fundamental equilibrium real exchange rate is temporarily unknown in a foreign exchange market with two types of agents: 'parity-guessers,' who expect a jump to a reference parity level, and 'money-followers,' who expect nominal depreciation equal to the monetary rule UR - http://elibrary.imf.org/view/IMF001/02198-9781451841879/02198-9781451841879/02198-9781451841879.xml UR - http://www.imfbookstore.org/IMFORG/9781451841879 ER -
