Estimating long-run equilibrium real exchange rates: short-lived shocks with long-lived impacts on Pakistan
The purpose of this study is to investigate the factors that affect real exchange rate volatility for Pakistan through the co-integration and error correction model over a 30-year time period, i.e. between 1980 and 2010. The study employed the autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (ARCH), generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (GARCH) and Vector Error Correction model...
متن کاملEquilibrium models of exchange rates
Most of the large industrialized countries floated their exchange rates in early 1973, after the demise of the post-war Bretton Woods system of fixed exchange rates. While there have been extensive academic disputes over the relative merits of fixed and floating exchange rates, most discussions have been carried out on a largely hypothetical basis. The move to a generalized floating regime prov...
متن کاملPersistent Real Exchange Rates
Three features of the international exchange rate data that are widely known are: (a) a high correlation between bilateral nominal and real exchange rates; (b) real exchange rate movements are highly persistent; and (c) real exchange rates are highly volatile. This paper attempts a joint, albeit partial, rationalization of these facts in an environment with no staggered contracts and where pric...
متن کاملA new approach to estimating equilibrium exchange rates for small open economies: The case of Canada
This paper proposes a new approach to estimating equilibrium exchange rates for small open economies. We set up a simple structural model of output, the rate of inflation and the real exchange rate. These observed variables are explained by unobserved equilibrium rates as well as unobserved transitory components in output and the exchange rate. Using Canadian data over 1974-2008 we jointly esti...
متن کاملA Real Di ff erential View of Equilibrium Real Exchange Rates ∗
This paper examines the interaction of G7 real exchange rates with real output and interest rate differentials. Using cointegration methods, we generally find a link between the real exchange rate and the real interest differential. This finding contrasts with the majority of the extant research on the real exchange rate real interest rate link. We then identify a new measure of the equilibrium...
