We examine the high frequency dynamics of euro to Japanese yen foreign currency exchange rates for the period of January 2001 to January 2010, comprising approximately three million data entries. The probability density function is described competently by the Tsallis q-Gaussian statistics,...

Financial globalisation is not a novel phenomenon. In the contemporary period, what is unprecedented about it is its breadth and depth. Several potential benefits emanate from financial globalisation. However, there is a downside of it. In the recent past, it has been observed that several...

The paper examines the stochastic behaviour and the volatility patterns of the Greek drachma against the German mark and the US dollar in response to shifts in the monetary stances of Germany and the US. The methodological design is the GARCH specification. The results strongly suggest that...

This paper examines the Rational Expectation Hypothesis in the context of the foreign exchange market for the Australian Dollar, Canadian Dollar, and Swiss Frank against US Dollar using twelve years of monthly survey data. The study uses ADF and DF-GLS unit root tests, and applies the restricted...

A growing empirical literature has sought to determine the effects of monetary policy shocks on exchange rates and other important macroeconomic variables. This paper seeks to add to this literature in the area of emerging markets by using the Vector Auto-Regression (VAR) methodology in an...

Extending the Romer (2000) model and the Taylor (1993; 1998; 1999) rule, this paper derives theoretical relationships between equilibrium output in Mexico and a change in the exchange rate, stock values, or the world interest rate. Empirical results show that more deficit spending, higher stock prices,...

In this paper, we apply co-integration and error correction modelling to the annual data on government deficit, interest rate, current account deficit of balance of payments, exchange rate, consumption expenditure, and government debt in Germany and the U.K. for 1950-2002. There is evidence that...

The paper combines under a literature review, secondary and tertiary data analysis, a unique construct of three perspectives: the new classical macroeconomics theory related to unemployment, a finance approach of the relationship with exchange rates and the legal repercussions of the social...

Since the collapse of Lehman Brothers, the co-dynamics of the Rupee and the India stock exchange index, the Senex, have altered. Although emerging markets could have been shielded from the vagaries of financial flows that have plagued the developed world, it is shown that, in the post financial...
