Non-linearities in Real Interest Rate Parity: Evidence from OECD and Asian Developing Economies

Exchange Rate Pass-Through and Inflation in Dollarized Economies: Evidence from the Middle Eastern and North African Countries

T he investigation of exchange rate pass-through is an important issue in international finance. The relationship between exchange rate pass-through and exchange rate arrangements such as the dollarization regime has been examined in recent decades. For this purpose, the main objective of this study is to investigate the effect of exchange rate pass-through on the domestic inflation in selecte...

Real Exchange Rates and Real Interest Rate Parity: The Case of China

Abstract This paper empirically examines the likelihood of any long-run relationship between real exchange rate and real interest rate (RERI) differentials in China using vector autoregressive model (VAR) and hybrid cointegration methodology. The preliminary results based on some limited monthly data are indicative of a rather weak long run relationship. However, the empirical investigation als...

Is Real Interest Rate Risk Priced? Theory and Empirical Evidence

We propose a model in which real interest rates respond to both expected consumption growth and time preferences. Exposures to future consumption growth and time preference interest rate shocks are both priced relative to the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) and the Consumption Capital Asset Pricing Model (CCAPM). However, the two types of interest rate risk have different prices, and when el...

Deviations from Uncovered Interest Rate Parity: A Post Keynesian Explanation

Testing Uncovered Interest Rate Parity Using LIBOR

We test Uncovered Interest Parity (UIP) using LIBOR interest rates for a wide range of maturities. In contrast to other markets, LIBOR markets have minimal frictions which could lead to rejecting UIP. Using panel unit root test suggested by Palm, Smeekes, and Urbain (2010) and cointegration techniques by Westerlund (2007), we find that UIP holds for shortterm maturities, when market-specific he...
