This paper investigates the determinants of equilibrium real exchange rates for the new EU member states and candidate countries, relying on an asset model inspired by Aglietta et al. (1998) and Alberola et al. (1999, 2002). The impact of productivity gains on both the Balassa-Samuelson effect...

The ambition of this paper is to analyse real exchange rate dynamics in Macedonia relying on a highly disaggregated dataset. We complement the indirect evidence reported in Loko and Tuladhar (2005) and we provide direct evidence on the irrelevance of the Balassa-Samuelson effect for overall...

In this article we study the fundamental macroeconomic determinants of both the inflation-based (i.e., CPI) and the tradable price-based (i.e., PPI) real effective exchange rate in five acceding countries from Central and Eastern Europe, that is, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia,...
