We study the determinants of the dollar/pound real exchange rate from 1879 to 1914 focusing on the role of fiscal policy. We present a simple dynamic model of the real exchange rate to frame our analysis. The econometric results are based upon the decomposition of the sources of the innovation of the real exchange rate drawn from a structural vector autoregression model. We find little evidence that changes in tariffs and government spending affected the real exchange rate. There is some stronger empirical evidence that shocks to deficits were associated with the fluctuations in the real exchange rate.

"This book documents her monumental Ten Paintings exhibition which was on view at CCA Wattis Institute for Contemporary Art from April 28 through July 23, 2016. The exhibition included 10 paintings that were hidden with the wallpaper that covered the entire gallery space along with sound pieces that were programmed to respond to particular questions. When asked "Where are the paintings?" a scream would sound from all 10. The book includes detail and installation shots of the entire exhibition as well as a list of the sound bites that were included."--https://shop.oogaboogastore.com/products/laura-owens-ten-paintings (01/14/2020).
