Abstract
This study examines the relationship between exchange rater regimes and economic growth
for a sample of sixty countries during the period 1970-2016. This pooled sample is divided
into an industrialized sample and a non-industrialized for additional analysis. For the
empirical investigation, the exchange rate regimes were represented by a dummy variable
based on a de facto exchange rate classification and this dummy variable was then combined
by various explanatory variables that are believed to have an impact on growth according to
growth theory. With a panel data set, nine different regressions are run for the three different
samples. The study concludes that the non-industrialized countries perform better under a

fixed regime with significance for two out of three regressions while the industrialized
countries perform worse under a fixed regime, implying that a floating regime is preferable. (Less)
