Abstract enThis study aims to ascertain the policy choice between the fixed and the flexible exchange rate regimes by empirically investigating whether eliminating the volatiliy in exchange rates increases volatility in interest rates. This volatility trade off hypothesis is tested for Hong Kong through a bivariate generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedastic (GARCH) model. Splitting the data into pre-crisis, post-crisis and crisis-included periods, the analysis ended up with different findings. While the pre-crisis and post-crisis periods implied a trade-off between exchange rate and interest rate volatilities, the 1991-2003 period exhibited a positive relationship between exchange rate and interest rate movements contrary to the trade-off hypothesis
