Abstract The determination of the equilibrium real exchange rate is one most important issues in open economy since policymakers are concerned about predicting and monitoring misalignments they usually associated with current account problems currency crises. To best my knowledge, this first time a study provides empirical evidence on impact deviations from long-run sustainable economic growth ...

Exchange rate policy has assumed an added importance in recent years due to changing global economic conditions. This paper has examined the foreign exchange reserves, real and effective exchange rate response of imports demand in Pakistan using both classical and time series econometrics approaches. The real depreciation of the exchange rate has been found to have dampening impact on import de...

In this paper we present a two-country dynamic general equilibrium model of ex ante unequally developed countries. The model explains a key feature recently observed in transition economies, i.e. he long-run trend real exchange rate appreciation, through investments in quality. Our exchange rate projections bear important policy implications, which we illustrate on the conflict between the infl...

in this article, real exchange rate behavior and its effects on macroeconomic variables are studied by explaining two models; impulse function and forecasting predicted error decomposition. studies show that high artificial currency value has caused domestic and foreign accounts equilibrium disturbance and foreign income decrease due to the slackening of commercial and agricultural activities, ...

We assess the behavior of real effective exchange rates (REERs) of members of the CEMAC zone with respect to their long-term equilibrium paths. A reduced form of the fundamental equilibrium exchange rate (FEER) model is estimated and associated misalignments are derived for the period 1980 to 2009. Our findings suggest that for majority of countries, macroeconomic fundamentals have the expected...

T he world economy has experienced a bulk of positive and negative shocks in crude oil prices and exchange rates over the years, and that global inflation has undergone some changes. Such shocks have affected the macroeconomic variables in the countries of the world and have challenged the economies of these countries, and have led them to take different measures to protect themselves agai...

in this paper, the value of exchange rate was calculated in order to determine comparative advantage in crops of sari township during 2009-2010. hence, first, comparative advantage indices are estimated by using a policy analysis matrix. the results showed that just wheat has a drc index of one in the minimum amount of national currency exchange rate value. this indicated the fact that only whe...
