This study investigates the impacts of public expenditure innovations on exchange rate volatility in South Africa using quarterly data for the period 1970-2019. To achieve this objective, a version of the vector autoregressive impulse response model proposed by Jordà is employed and the...

This paper analyzes the factors underlying the weakness of the euro. For this purpose, the framework advocated by Clarida and Gali (1994) is used. Within this model, three structural shocks drive the dynamics of the endogenous variables: aggregate supply shocks, aggregate spending shocks, and...

This study examines the sources of real exchange rate fluctuations in Pakistan and use the SVAR (Structure Vector Autoregressive) technique to analysis the impact of different macroeconomics shocks for fluctuation in real exchange rate of Pak rupee. According to Blanchard and Quah (1999), the...

This paper reviews the evolution of China`s real effective exchange rate between 1980 and 2002, and uses a structural vector autoregression model to study the relative importance of different types of macroeconomic shocks for fluctuations in the real exchange rate. The structural decomposition...

This paper analyses the effects of fiscal shocks using a two-country macroeconomic model for output, labour input, government spending and relative prices which provides the orthogonality restrictions for obtaining the structural shocks. Dynamic simulation techniques are then applied, in...

This paper applies counter-factual simulation experiments based on a calibrated DSGE model of a small open-economy. We compare the alternative monetary regimes of East Asia: the monetary targeting framework of the Central Bank of the Republic of China, the fixed-rate system practiced in Hong...

We lay out an empirical and a theoretical model to analyze the effects of non-fundamental exchange rate volatility on economic activity and welfare. In the first part of the paper, the GARCH-SVARmodel is applied to measure empirically the effect of the conditional exogenous exchange rate...
