Currency Spillovers and Tri-polarity: a Simultaneous Model of the Us Dollar, German Mark and Japanese Yen
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a simultaneous model of exchange rates between the three major countries. In addition to incorporating long-run equilibria and short-run dynamics, the model is designed to capture complex interactions between currencies not normally considered in exchange rate models. These interactions are shown to be important via generalised impulse response analysis, and the model as a whole to be an economically and statistically superior forecasting tool over relatively short horizons.

This paper explores the pros and cons for different countries to adopt as an anchor the US Dollar, the Euro or the Yen. In addition, it addresses the question of how co-movement of outputs and prices would respond to the formation of ...
متن کاملExchange Return Co-movements and Volatility Spillovers Before and After the Introduction of Euro
This paper examines co-movements and volatility spillovers in the returns of the euro, the British pound, the Swiss franc and the Japanese yen vis-à-vis the US dollar before and after the introduction of the euro. Based on dynamic correlations, variance decompositions, generalized VAR analysis, and a newly introduced spillover index, the results suggest significant co-movements and volatility s...
متن کاملDo Forecasters use Monetary Models? An Empirical Analysis of Exchange Rate Expectations
Do financial market analysts use structural economic models when forecasting exchange rates? This is the leading question analysed in this paper. In contrast to other studies we use expectations instead of realised data. Therefore we analyse the implicit structural models forecasters have in mind when forming their exchange rate expectations. Using expected shortand long-term interest rates and...
متن کاملModelling the Bivariate Dependence Structure of Exchange Rates Before and After the Introduction of the Euro : a Semi - Parametric Approach March 2009
This paper investigates the bivariate dependence structure for three pairs of exchange rates measured against the US dollar: Euro and Japanese yen, Euro and British pound, Euro and Swiss franc, over the period January 1994 to November 2007. The Deutsche mark (DM) is used for the pre-euro period. By using non-parametric plots and copula models estimated by semi-parametric methods, we are able to...
