Are successful interventions random events?
Abstract: An examination of the Federal Reserve's intervention successes in the late 1980s, showing that, although the characteristic day-to-day fluctuations in exchange rates virtually ensured that a large share of these interventions would appear successful--purely by chance and even in the absence of a causal link--the number of successes proved larger than pure randomness would suggest.
