This study investigates the sources of bilateral real exchange rate (RER) volatility in industrial countries. Going beyond traditional macroeconomic determinants, we identify the role of both trade- and finance-related factors in explaining RER volatility at different time horizons. The results...

For resolving the "purchasing power parity puzzle", Rogoff (1996) proposed that the convergence of real exchange rates to PPP should be shorter than that found in previous studies. Many previous studies have tried to resolve the purchasing power parity puzzle through the nonlinear modeling of...

Based on the modified Froot and Obstfeld (1991a) simple stochastic macro model, this paper addresses the relative stabilizing performance of a dual exchange rate system from the viewpoint of target zones. We focus on an experiment in which the central bank implements a target zone policy in the...

This paper explores the long-run and causality relationship between the exchange rate and macroeconomic fundamentals in G-7 countries, employing recently developed tests for the linear cointegration provided by Johansen (1988), the non-parametric cointegration method provided by Bierens (1997),...

We examine the nexus of stock prices and exchange rates for the G-7 countries by using the vector error correction model, the bounds testing methodology and linear and non-linear Granger causality methods. The empirical results substantiate that a long-run level equilibrium relationship exists...

Using data for 541 Taiwanese listed companies over the 1994-2009 period, this paper examines the effect of unexpected exchange rate exposure on the value of the enterprise and the determinants of exchange rate exposure in Taiwan. The empirical evidence shows that about 25% of listed companies...

This paper studies the sensitivity of cash flows generated by Taiwanese firms to changes in a trade-weighted index, as well as against the currencies of Taiwan's major trading partners. A traditional methodology, the capital market approach, typically found low or negligible levels of exposure...

This paper investigates the relationship between the collapse timing of exchange rate regime and degree of substitutability of foreign currency for domestic currency as a medium of exchange. According to the spirit of Chen et al. (1981), Tsaur (1987), Chang et al. (1991), we set up a...

This paper investigates the price-volume relationships of Taiwan's stock and foreign exchange markets. We first adopt the traditional linear Granger causality test to achieve this goal. In addition, the nonlinearity feature is also taken into account. We employ the nonlinear Granger causality...

According to the traditional theory, it is expected that depreciation in domestic currency generally decreases the relative price of domestically produced goods and thereby stimulates demand for domestic export. Hence, currency depreciation can be expected to have expansionary effects on real...
