Modeling the Exchange Rates in a Target Zone by Reflected Ornstein-Uhlenbeck Process

In this paper, we model the exchange rate in a target zone by a so-called reflected Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process. A simulation-based maximum likelihood estimation strategy of the parameters involved in the model is proposed and studied. The model fits data on exchange rates in the European Monetary System well.
