Although the literature on purchasing power parity (PPP) is rich in controversy, the relative contribution of prices and nominal exchange rates to real exchange rate movements which restore PPP disequilibria has rarely been put under any close scrutiny. Using monthly data from 1973:01 to 2009:12...

This study analyzes the dynamics between real effective exchange rates and current account patterns from a novel perspective. We start by dissecting long-run and time-varying short-run dynamics between both variables. Following this, we extend our framework by including interest rates into our...

This study proposes to investigate the link between Real Exchange Rate and Economic Growth in ten Asia - Pacific countries and aims to study how Real Exchange Rate (RER) and Economic Growth (EG) were related to each other. This study decomposed the linear relationship between RER and Economic...

The main purpose of this study is to examine the causal relationship between Real Exchange Rate and Economic Growth Variables in the Asia – Pacific region. Granger Causality Test was employed, to examine the causal relationship between the dependent and independent variables, with the sample...

The first part of this paper briefly summarizes the assumptions of economic theory on the relationships between exchange rates, prices and interest rates and the same time compares these assumptions with the empirical evidence. The fact that there exist strong discrepancies, which in recent...
