Bilaterial Equilibrium Exchange Rates of EU Accession Countries Against the Euro

Rahn, Jörg - 2007

We apply BEER and PEER approaches to calculate real equilibrium exchange rates for five EU accession countries in central and east Europe. Bilateral nominal equilibrium exchange rates against the euro are obtained through algebraic transformation of the results. Panel cointegration techniques...

Corporate Investment and the Exchange Rate : The Financial Channel

Banerjee, Ryan; Hofmann, Boris; Mehrotra, Aaron N. - 2021

Truths and Myths About RMB Misalignment : A Meta-Analysis

Cheung, Yin-Wong - 2019

We conduct a meta-regression analysis of 69 studies that generated 937 renminbi (RMB) misalignment estimates. The Bayesian Model Averaging (BMA) approach is adopted to allow for model selection and sampling uncertainties in assessing effects of study characteristics on these RMB misalignment...

Exchange Rate Misalignment Estimates – Sources of Differences

Cheung, Yin-Wong - 2011

We study the differences in currency misalignment estimates obtained from alternative datasets derived from two International Comparison Program (ICP) surveys. A decomposition exercise reveals that the year 2005 misalignment estimates are substantially affected by the ICP price revision....
