Abstract
We present a simple framework in which both the exchange rates disconnect and forward bias puzzles are simultaneously resolved.  The flexible-price two-country monetary model is extended to include a consumption externality with habit persistence. Habit persistence is modeled using Campbell Cochrane preferences with �deep� habits.  By deep habits, we mean habits defined over goods rather than countries.  The model is simulated using the artificial economy methodology.  It offers a neo-classical explanation of the Meese-Rogoff puzzle and mimics the failure of fundamentals to explain nominal exchange rates in a linear setting.  Finally, the model naturally generates the negative slope in the standard forward market regression.
