Purpose of this study is to revise the real effective exchange rates (REER) indexes released by Central Bank of Turkey. Within this framework, number of countries included in computation of new indexes is increased from 19 to 36 and for the country weights; recent trade developments are aimed to...

This paper presents the results of a meta-regression analysis of empirical estimates of Renminbi misalignments. Seventeen articles and 130 observations dealing with empirical estimates of the misalignment of Chinese currency are collected. This meta-analysis shows that real exchange rate...

We collect data from 29 separate papers estimating the equilibrium level and possible undervaluation of the Chinese currency, the renminbi. These papers yield a total of 97 individual observations on misalignment, which we analyse with the help of meta-analysis. We find that the vast majority of...

The nominal effective exchange rate (EER) of a currency is an index of the tradeweighted average of its bilateral exchange rates vis-à-vis the currencies of selected trading partners, while the real EER is derived by adjusting the nominal index for relative prices or costs. The nominal EER...

The real effective exchange rate is an aggregation of several bilateral real exchange rates with respect to other countries. The aggregation is usually done under the assumption of constant elasticity of substitution (CES) between products from different countries. We investigate the validity of...

Using a large, new dataset of agricultural prices and quantities for many countries and regions, we create five new international Geary-Khamis pounds – for 1870, 1845, 1775, 1705, and a superior chained series. We show that estimated levels and changes in output per worker look very different...

In this work we present a new framework for modelling portfolio dynamics and how to incorporate this information in the portfolio selection process. We define drivers for asset and portfolio dynamics, and their optimal selection. We introduce the new Commonality Principle, which gives a solution...

This paper aims to address the relatively limited attention given to the examination of exchange rate misalignment uncertainty in the specific context of South Africa. By specifically focusing on exchange rate misalignment uncertainty, this study fills a crucial gap in the literature and gains a...

The appreciation of the real exchange rate over the past several years is considered one of the key drivers behind the weak performance of Colombia's manufacturing sector in recent years. This paper examines the effects of the real exchange rate, external and domestic demand, and structural...

Dutch Disease emerged as a journalistic label that subsequently prompted theoretic treatments in various fields, including trade, growth and development, fiscal policy, monetary policy, industrial policy, and public policy management. The resulting body of theoretical and empirical work...
