In this paper I show that two central banks operating in a non-cooperative way will not have an incentive to achieve the optimal allocation of goods. I further show that this non-cooperative outcome will be supported by a zero intraday interest rate and constant fixed exchange rate. This is in contrast to recent research; which has shown that domestically a zero intraday interest rate will achieve a social optimum and that the central bank has an incentive to achieve it.}, url = {http://www.oar-rao.bank-banque-canada.ca/record/1474}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.34989/swp-2008-17}, }
