From the Paper:

"Conversely, there is some debate regarding the state of the U.S. dollar. Some analysts believe that its current weakness across the global foreign exchange markets is due to intentional oversight on the part of the current administration (Pomerantz, 2005). Because of the huge current account deficits that the U.S. maintains with many trading partners, if the U.S. dollar were stronger, these deficits would be even worse. Many researchers argue that by intentionally failing to act by strengthening the dollar vis-a-vis foreign currencies, the Bush administration is effectively suppressing the amount of foreign imports."
