since the breakdown of the bretton woods system, exchange arrangements of countries have become flexible. several attempts have been made to determine whether the theories of optimum currency areas adequately explain the choice of an exchange rate system. in this paper, the optimum currency area is retested. using cross-section data, a regression analysis of the choice of an exchange rate syste...

in this article, demand equations for import of consumer, intermediate and capital goods for the period 1971(2) to 1999(1), is estimated and analyzed, using the ardl pesaran & shin method. the results show that the behavior of the different categories of imported goods in iran is best explained by the parallel market exchange rate, implying this rate is a closer approximation fir the opportunit...

computational intelligence approaches have gradually established themselves as a popular tool for forecasting the complicated financial markets. forecasting accuracy is one of the most important features of forecasting models; hence, never has research directed at improving upon the effectiveness of time series models stopped. nowadays, despite the numerous time series forecasting models propos...

The goal of this study is to measure market prices of risk and the associated foreign exchange risk premia extending the approach proposed by Balduzzi and Robotti (2001) to an international framework. Estimations of minimum variance stochastic discount factors permits the determination of market prices of risk, which, in turn, in an international framework, allow to compute foreign exchange ris...

the interaction between nominal and real sectors is studied based on estimating a simultaneous co-integrated system including foreign and domestic prices, real output, liquidity and exchange rate variables. two co -integrating vectors namely augmented ppp and demand for money functions are identified. the results suggest that real output is a weakly exogeneous variable and relatively the leadin...

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...
