This study examines the real exchange rate determination in Malaysia. The result of the autoregressive distributed lag approach shows that an increase in the real interest rate differential, productivity differential, the real oil price or reserve differential will lead to an appreciation of the...

This study examines the real exchange rate determination in Asian economies. The methods show that the real exchange rate and terms of trade can be jointly determined. Productivity differential, terms of trade, the real oil price, and reserve differential are found to be important in the real...

In theory, countries with floating exchange rates and perfect capital mobility should have monetary independence. At the other extreme, countries with pegged exchange rates may completely lose monetary independence. This is the open-economy trilemma. Countries are not possible to combine...

Purpose – The purpose of this study is to examine real exchange rate misalignment and economic growth in Malaysia. Design/methodology/approach – The result of the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) approach and the generalized forecast error variance decomposition. Findings – The result...

This paper chose Singapore as a case study to investigate whether population growth can contribute to economic development. It employed four different single-equation tests for cointegration, namely, 1) ordinary least squares, 2) fully modified ordinary least squares, 3) canonical cointegration...
