Reviews for The Exchange Rate in a Behavioral Finance Framework
"DeGrauwe and Grimaldi have written a most stimulating book with many interesting ideas for students and researchers of modern economics and finance, economic policy makers as well as financial practitioners... It is a well balanced mixture of finance intuition, model simulations as well as rigorous analysis, described in a lucid way and illustrated by many clarifying figures."
