The real exchange rate (RER) can be considered one of the most important relative price of economics, given the influence it exerts on many other prices and variables, and may be overvalued, among other factors, as a symptom of the existence of a Dutch disease process. Thus, seeking to prove...

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 aims to test whether or not there is a stable relation between trade balance and real exchange rate. The period covered by the sample goes from 1980 to 2004. The frequency of the data is quarterly. It was used the cointegration techniques developed by Johansen as econometric...

Este artigo busca verificar em que medida o saldo comercial responde a alterações de preços relativos no período recente. O período estudado abrange os anos de 1980 a 2004. Busca-se também avaliar em que medida a relação encontrada entre saldo comercial e taxa de câmbio real manteve-se...

This paper aims to compare two different methodologies to estimate exchange rate misalignment. The first methodology consists in using multivariate time series techniques and a model with domestic variables. The second methodology consists in Pesaran's Global Vector Error Correction Model with...

This paper aims to discuss a methodology to calculate the error bands for exchange rate misalignments estimative. The exchange misalignment is not directly observed and its precision depends on the coefficients that link fundamentals to real effective exchange rate. The precision of exchange...

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...
