Real exchange rate misalignments [PDF]
International Review of Economics & Finance, 2010 Abstract This paper investigates episodes of real exchange rate appreciations and depreciations for a sample of 85 countries from 1960 to 1998. A Markov Switching Model is used to characterize real exchange rate misalignment series as stochastic autoregressive processes governed by two states corresponding to different means and variances.

Persistent real exchange rates [PDF]
Journal of International Economics, 2006 Three well known facts that characterize exchange rate data are: (a) the high correlation between bilateral nominal and real exchange rates; (b) the high degree of persistence in real exchange rate movements; and (c) the high volatility of real exchange rates. This paper attempts a joint, albeit partial, rationalization of these facts in an environment

Democratization and Real Exchange Rates, [PDF]
Scottish Journal of Political Economy, 2012 AbstractIn this article, we combine two so far separate strands of the economic literature and argue that democratization leads to a real exchange rate appreciation. We test this hypothesis empirically for a sample of countries observed from 1980 to 2007 by combining a difference‐in‐difference approach with propensity score matching estimators.

Understanding European Real Exchange Rates [PDF]
American Economic Review, 2005 We study good-by-good deviations from the Law-of-One-Price (LOP) for over 1,800 retail goods and services between all European Union (EU) countries for the years 1975, 1980, 1985, and 1990. We find that for each of these years, after we control for differences in income and value-added tax (VAT) rates, there are roughly as many overpriced goods as ...

Real exchange rates and skills [PDF]
Journal of International Money and Finance, 2016 While most of the literature on the determination of real exchange rates is focused on the role of standard macroeconomic variables, there exists however a few papers that are more concerned by the impact of factors which are usually considered to play a key role in the process of economic development, like demography or inequality.

Persistence in real exchange rate convergence [PDF]
Studies in Nonlinear Dynamics and Econometrics, 2014 AbstractIn this paper we use a long memory framework to examine the validity of the Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) hypothesis using both monthly and quarterly data for a panel of 47 countries over a 50 year period (1957–2009). The analysis focuses on the long memory parameter d that allows us to obtain different convergence classifications depending on ...

China’s real exchange rate [PDF]
, 2007 International pressure to revalue China’s currency stems in part from the expectation that rapid economic growth should be associated with a real exchange rate appreciation. This hinges on the Balassa-Samuelson hypothesis under which economic growth, stemming from improvements in traded sector productivity, causes non-traded prices to rise.

Explaining Real Exchange Rate Fluctuations [PDF]
Journal of Applied Economics, 2006 This paper attempts to explain the sources of real exchange rate fluctuations for a set of advanced economies and Central and Eastern European transition economies. To that end, we first estimate structural (identified) vector autoregression (SVAR) models, and decompose real and nominal exchange rate movements into those caused by real and nominal ...

Real exchange rate volatility, financial crises and exchange rate regimes [PDF]
Applied Economics, 2014 This paper examines real exchange rate (RER) volatility in eighty countries around the world, during the period 1970 to 2011. Two main questions are raised: are structural breaks in RER volatility related to changes in exchange-rate regimes or financial crises? And do these two events affect the permanent and transitory components of RER volatility? To

Nonlinearities and Real Exchange Rate Dynamics [PDF]
Journal of the European Economic Association, 2003 We confirm the presence of substantial nonlinearities in real exchange rate dynamics at the sectoral level. There exists zones where arbitrage is not profitable because of transaction costs, and thus mean reversion is inexistent. We compute the speed of mean reversion of sector specific real exchange rates, conditional on the existence of arbitrage as ...
