Abstract: This paper analyzes exchange rate dynamics in dual exchange markets and the impact of unification under various money supply processes and incomplete segmentation between the commercial and financial market by utilizing a two-sector general equilibrium portfolio balance model. It shows that the relationship between the exchange premium and inflation depends not only on inflation elasticity of domestic money demand, but also on the mechanism of domestic credit creation and reserved adjustment. Emphasizing distortionary taxes cum subsidies created by dual exchange rates, it also shows that unifying dual exchange rates could lead to lower inflation by eliminating distortions.
