This study aims to test the existence of cointegration between variables that are typically used to estimate the existence of exchange rate misalignment for a sample of developed and developing countries, many of whom are members of the G20. The methodology consists in cointegration analysis...

This paper has as main objective to estimate the bilateral misalignment from the methodology described by Alberola et al. (1999) for the main Brazilian trade partners. Therefore, we present the main approaches used to estimate the multilateral real exchange rates and description of the...

This study aims to examine the theoretical literature concerning exchange-rate and balance-of-payments determination, in order to investigate how an exchange rate change may affect one country's foreign trade flows. Therefore, we analyze the different categories of balance-of-payments models -...

This study aims to analyze empirically the interactions between exchange rate behavior and the performance of Brazilian foreign trade. First, the empirical literature on the subject is reviewed, in order to elucidate methodological issues such as appropriate model type, identification strategy,...

This article analyses the behaviour of the brazilian exchange rate (Real/US dollar) and the corresponding values forecasted by the market agents, from 2001 (november) to 2004 (may). We use the data-base of the Brazilian Central Bank, called “Sistema de Expectativas de Mercado”, which has...

Three nominal exchange rate series are presented, for the mil-reis and the dollar in relation to sterling, and for the mil-reis in relation to the dollar. For each of these, two series are constructed: current rates and long-term rates, representing the secular tendency of these exchange rates....
