We present a new approach to study empirically the effect of the introduction of the euro on currency invoicing. Our approach uses a compositional multinomial logit model, in which currency choice depends on the characteristics of both the currency and the country. We use unique quarterly panel...

This paper studies how firm-level export performance is affected by Real Exchange Rate (RER) volatility and investigates whether this effect depends on existing financial constraints. Our empirical analysis relies on export data for more than 100,000 Chinese exporters over the 2000-2006 period....

This paper analyzes the effect of exchange rate volatility on the trade volume (Export) and the impact of REER on determinant of trade in Pakistan using timeseries data for the period 1981-2010. The result shows that REER is inversely impact on Export Volume of Pakistan. On otherside the Import...

We use the Chinese experience between 1867 and 1910 to illustrate how the volatility of vehicle currencies affects trade. Today’s widespread vehicle currency is the dollar. However, the macroeconomic effects of this use of the dollar have rarely been addressed. This is partly due to...

We estimate the link between exchange rate fluctuations and the labour input of Canadian manufacturing industries. The analysis is based on a dynamic model of labour demand, and the econometric strategy employs a panel two-step approach for cointegrating regressions. Our data are drawn from a...

This paper investigates both the effects of domestic monetary policy and external shocks on fundamental macroeconomic variables in six fast growing emerging economies: Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa and Turkey - denoted hereafter as BRICS_T. The authors adopt a structural VAR model...

This paper aims to quantify the impact of nominal exchange rate volatility on nominal trade flows with a particular focus on the Czech Republic. The paper shows that the magnitude of the impact differs when a dynamic model is used instead of static model.

This study investigates the effects of exchange rate volatility on the top ten categories of exports by the United States to South Africa over a 20-year period from January 1990 to December 2009. The paper uses several measures of volatility to generate a measure of exchange rate volatility,...

In this paper we analyze the effects of the real exchange rate volatility on South Africa's trade flows with the European Union over the period 1980 to 2009. Our study uses quarterly trade flows on South Africa's exports and imports and utilizes the bounds testing approach to cointegration, and...
