Estimation of De Facto Flexibility Parameter and Basket Weights in Evolving Exchange Rate Regimes
Frankel, Jeffrey A. - 2011
A new technique for estimating countries' de facto exchange rate regimes synthesizes two approaches. One approach estimates the implicit de facto basket weights in an ordinary least squares (OLS) regression of the local currency value rate against major currency values. Here the hypothesis is a...

Global Transmission of Interest Rates : Monetary Independence and Currency Regime
Frankel, Jeffrey A.; Schmukler, Sergio L.; Servén, Luis - 2004
Hikes in U.S. interest rates in 1999-2000 have started to spill over to other economies' interest rates, which in many countries have risen to reflect the higher U.S. rates. Are countries with flexible exchange rates better able to isolate their domestic interest rates from this type of negative...

Will the Euro Eventually Surpass the Dollar as Leading International Reserve Currency?
Chinn, Menzie David; Frankel, Jeffrey A. - 2006
Might the dollar eventually follow the precedent of the pound and cede its status as leading international reserve currency? Unlike the last time this question was prominently discussed, ten years ago, there now exists a credible competitor: the euro. This paper econometrically estimates...

Global Transmission of Interest Rates : Monetary Independence and Currency Regime
Frankel, Jeffrey A.; Schmukler, Sergio L.; Servén, Luis - 2004
Using a large sample of developing and industrialized economies during 1970-1999, this paper explores whether the choice of exchange rate regime affects the sensitivity of local interest rates to international interest rates. In most cases, we cannot reject full transmission of international...

Estimation of Nonlinear Exchange Rate Dynamics in Evolving Regimes
Frankel, Jeffrey A.; Hou, Yao; Xie, Danxia - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2024
This paper develops a new econometric framework to estimate and classify exchange rate regimes. They are classified into four distinct categories: fixed exchange rates, BBC (band, basket and crawl), managed floating, and freely floating. The procedure captures the patterns of exchange rate...

Measuring asymmetric stochastic cycle components in US macroeconomic time series
Koopman, Siem Jan; Lee, Kai Ming - 2005
To gain insights in the current status of the economy, macroeconomic time series are often decomposed into trend, cycle and irregular components. This can be done by nonparametric band-pass filtering methods in the frequency domain or by model-based decompositions based on autoregressive moving...
