Do Capital Inflows Hinder Competitiveness? The Real Exchange Rate in Ethiopia
This paper investigates the determinants of the real exchange rate (RER) in Ethiopia. In particular, it assesses whether large capital inflows (e.g. foreign aid and remittances) have an impact on the RER. This empirical exercise tries to improve the current literature in a number of ways: (i) the use of quarterly data provides a larger sample size and enables the modelling of important intra-ye...
متن کاملControls on Capital Inflows: Do they Work?∗
This paper analyzes the effectiveness of controls on capital inflows. In particular, we analyze in great detail the Chilean experience with the use of the unremunerated reserve requirement. We examine the effects of the controls applied in Chile in 1991–98 on interest rates, real exchange rate, and the volume and composition of capital inflows. The effects are elusive and it is difficult to pin...
متن کاملN ° 2009 - 26 Capital inflows and exchange rate in LDCs : The Dutch disease problem revisited
In this paper, the link between capital inflows and real exchange rate movements in LDCs is revisited theoretically and empirically. On the theoretical side we present a simple model to show that the real exchange rate depends mainly on “real fundamentals” such as terms of trade or productivity differentials. Empirically, we take into account the heterogeneity of the sample, the dynamics of the...

متن کاملInitial Capital Constraints hinder Entrepreneurial
This paper investigates empirically whether and to what extent initial capital constraints hinder entrepreneurial performance once the venture has been started. As discussed in the paper, prior empirical research in this area could investigate this issue only indirectly by lack of data and adequate empirical identification strategies. The key contribution of this paper is that – due to our comp...
