Is the Exchange Rate of Bangladesh Mean Reverting? a Panel Unit Root Approach
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper evaluates whether the exchange rate of Bangladesh is mean reverting or not by applying first-generation and second-generation panel unit root test approaches. The paper considers annual data from 1986 to 2011 of major twenty-two trading partners of Bangladesh. Although some inconclusive outcomes emerge from the first-generation tests, the second-generation test reconciles the controversy and confirms that the weak form of PPP is relevant for Bangladesh. Consequently, the bilateral exchange rate of Bangladesh is mean reverting and the PPP hypothesis can be considered as an exchange rate determinant in the long-run. © 2016 AESS Publications.

T his paper is to examine the mean reverting properties of inflation rates for Iran’s 25 provinces over the period from 1990:4 to 2017:7. To the end, we use various conventional univariate linear and non-linear unit root tests, as well as quantile unit root test by Koenker and Xiao (2004). Results of conventional unit root tests indicate that the null hypothesis of the unit root test...

We examine the mean-reverting properties of real exchange rates, by comparing the unit root properties of a group of international real exchange rates with two groups of intranational real exchange rates. Strikingly, we find that while the international real rates taken as a group appear mean reverting, the intranational rates are not. This is consistent with the view that while nominal shocks ...
