Abstract
This paper carries out indirect tests for stochastic exchange rate bubbles in the context of a Dornbusch-type monetary model by comparing the order of integrability and examining the conintegrability between exchange rates and variables in the fundamentals. Special emphasis is given to the period of sharp appreciation of the dollar, January 1981 to February 1985. In two out of the three rates examined in this paper, the null no-bubbles hypothesis cannot be rejected by any of the tests when some possible sources of model misspecification are taken into account.
