The conventional view, as expounded by sticky-price models, is that price adjustment determines the PPP reversion rate. This study examines the mechanism by which PPP deviations are corrected. Nominal exchange rate adjustment, not price adjustment, is shown to be the key engine governing the...

aim of uncovering a single structural parameter, but theory suggests it could differ depending on the shock that drives … exports relative to the response of the exchange rate, conditional on each shock. Our findings suggest that this relationship … differs greatly from one shock to another, where domestic shocks generate a much weaker relationship than global shocks. We …

This study reconsiders the well-known cross-country positive association between prices and income by focusing on heterogeneity between the inter-developed-country and inter-developing-country relationships. Empirical results reveal not only that developed and developing countries differ in...

We revisit medium- to long-run exchange rate determination, focusing on the role of international investment positions. To do so, we make use of a new econometric framework accounting for conditional long-run homogeneity in heterogeneous dynamic panel data models. In particular, in our model the...

The reduction of global imbalances observed during the climax of crisis is incomplete. In this context, currencies' realignments are still proposed to ensure global macroeconomic stability. These realignments are based on equilibrium rates derived from equilibrium exchange rate models. Among...

Equilibrium real exchange rate and corresponding misalignment estimates differ tremendously depending on the panel estimation method used to derive them. Essentially, these methods differ in their treatment of the time-series (time) and the cross-section (space) variation in the panel. The study...

Developing country governments are often forced to issue debt in a foreign currency or commit the "original sin". The "original sin", regardless of exchange rate regime, exacerbates debt problems for these countries. Consequently, this paper investigates the relationship between US dollar...
