The real exchange rate in the long run : Balassa-Samuelson effects reconsidered

Bordo, Michael D.; Choudhri, Ehsan U.; Fazio, Giorgio; … - 2014

Historical data for over hundred years and 14 countries is used to estimate the long-run effect of productivity on the real exchange rate. We find large variations in the productivity effect across four distinct monetary regimes in the sample period. Although the traditional Balassa-Samuelson...

A re-examination of the link between real exchange rates and real interest rate differentials

Hoffmann, Mathias; MacDonald, Ronald - 2003

The real exchange rate - real interest rate (RERI) relationship is central to most open economy macroeconomic models. However, empirical support for the relationship, especially when cointegrationbased methods are used, is rather weak. In this paper we reinvestigate the RERI relationship using...

Euro-US real exchange rate dynamics : how far can we push general equilibrium models?

Dogan, Aydan - 2014

This paper re-assesses the problem of general equilibrium models in matching the behaviour of real exchange rate. We do so by developing a two country general equilibrium model with non-traded goods, home bias, incomplete markets and partial degrees of pass through as well as nominal rigidities...

Montecino, Juan Antonio - 2015

The consensus view is that capital controls can effectively lengthen the maturity composition of capital inflows and increase the independence of monetary policy but are not generally effective at reducing net inflows and influencing the real exchange rate. This paper presents empirical evidence...

What determines real exchange rates? : the Nordic countries

Bergvall, Anders - 2002

This paper presents a model yielding testable implications concerning the long-run co-movements of real exchange rates, relative productivity, the trade balance and terms of trade. Countries with higher productivity, trade deficits or improved terms of trade are found to have more appreciated...

PPP and the Balassa Samuelson effect : the role of the distribution sector

MacDonald, Ronald; Ricci, Luca Antonio - 2001

This paper investigates the impact of the distribution sector on the real exchange rate, controlling for the Balassa-Samuelson effect, as well as other macro variables. Long-run coefficients are estimated using a panel dynamic OLS estimator. The main result is that an increase in the...

Bergin, Paul R.; Choi, Woo Jin; Pyun, Ju Hyun - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2023

While substantial empirical research has evaluated the question of whether capital account openness promotes economic growth, this paper finds empirical evidence for cases where the opposite is true--that a policy of capital controls can promote economic growth, when combined with a policy of...
