In this study, we mainly investigate how the domestic factors of China (trade openness, Kaopen, real interest rate, real government consumption and real GDP) affect the real exchange rate using Ridge regression and the VAR model from 1970-2015. The empirical results show, in the short run, that...

This paper takes a fresh look at the determinants of reserves holding with the aim of highlighting similarities and differences in the motives for holding reserves among emerging markets (EMs), advanced economies (AEs), and low-income countries (LICs). We apply two panel estimation techniques:...

Many currencies, especially those of countries with negative net foreign assets, tend to depreciate during times of financial turbulence. Using a panel of 26 currencies over the period 1/1997-6/2016, I show that the composition of net foreign assets matter for the exchange rate sensitivity to...

Korean Abstract: 본 논문은 최근에 급속히 발달되고 있는 패널 공적분 추정기법을 이용하여 OECD 국가군과 아시아 국가군에 대해 저축과 투자의 관계를 추정하였다. 저축과 투자는 패널자료로 각각 비안정적으로 나타나고...

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...

This paper investigates the performance of early warning systems in real-time, using forecasts of indicators that were available at the moment predictions are to be made. The study analyzes currency crises in eight Latin American and Central and Eastern European countries, distinguishing an...

We reappraise the relationship between productivity and equilibrium real exchange rates using a panel estimation framework that incorporates a large number of countries and importantly, a dataset that allows explicit consideration of the role of non-traded, as well as traded, sector productivity...

This paper investigates the importance of real exchange rates on export volumes by estimating a panel SVAR model using quarterly unbalanced panel data from 21 emerging markets over the 2005:Q1-2018:Q4 period. Although the results suggest no conclusive evidence that real exchange rate shocks do...

This paper focuses on revisiting an old issue by advanced econometrics analysis: the risks in the U.S. stock market. We analyze the firm's exposure to exchange rate, interest rate, and market shocks by the pooled regression with the error cross-section dependency. We not only examine the...

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...
