INTRODUCTION The extent of financial integration in the modern world, reflected in the magnitude and pervasiveness of financial flows, has served to intensify research on the economic functioning of foreign exchange markets. In the open economy, international financial flows will ensure that interest rate parity is maintained for assets of similar maturities, or that the interest differentials exactly reflect expectations about exchange rate changes, provided there are no frictions and ...

Abstract The objective of this paper is to estimate a small model of the euro area to be used as a laboratory for  evaluating  the  performance  of  alternative  monetary  policy  strategies. We start with the relationship between output and inflation and investigate the fit of the nominal wage contracting model due to Taylor (1980) and three different versions of the relative real wage contracting model proposed by Buiter and Jewitt (1981) and estimated by Fuhrer and Moore (1995a) for the United States. While Fuhrer and Moore reject the nominal contracting model and find strong evidence in favor of the relative contracting model which induces a higher degree of inflation persistence, we find  that  ...

ABSTRACT The demand for money is at the heart of how policy should be conducted effectively. Money demand serves as a conduit in the transmission mechanism for monetary policy so the stability of the money demand function is critical if monetary policy is to have predictable effects on inflation and real output. In most developed and developing countries, policymakers have frequently questioned whether the demand for money is stable. Generally, ...

ABSTRACT The question of the optimal monetary regime for small open economies is still wide open. On the one hand, the big selling points of floating exchange rates – monetary independence and accommodation of terms of trade shocks – have not lived up to their promise. On the other hand, proposals for credible institutional monetary commitments to nominal anchors have each run aground on their own peculiar shoals. Rigid pegs ...

Abstract In this note, we propose a cluster method as a simple predictive tool to forecast exchange rates (specifically the Japanese Yen and the British Pound against the US Dollar). The general goal in this study is two-fold. First of all, we verify whether or not we can accurately predict the exchange rate movements using the suggested method. Secondly, we use the generated sign predictions to build a simple trading ...

ABSTRACT This paper investigates the economic rationale for intervention in support of small- and medium-scale enterprises, on both theoretical and empirical grounds. It  the justification for SME interventions lies in market and institutional failures that bias the size distribution of firms, rather than on any inherent economic benefits provided by small firms. The role of the State is mainly to provide an enabling business environment that opens access to markets ...

ABSTRACT The paper investigated the empirical relationship between broad definition of money, real income, interest rates, expected inflation and expected exchange rate and examined the constancy of this relationship in the light of economic reforms that had taken place in Nigeria since 1987. The study confirms a long-run relationship between real balances, income, interest rates, and inflation. The significance of foreign interest rate and expected exchange rate indicates the presence ...

ABSTRACT Capital flight from developing countries represents a lost potential for economic growth and development. In the contemporary literature of development economics, there has been increasing attention to the notion of capital flight. Many analysts have attributed sluggish economic growth and persistent balance of payments deficits in most developing counties to capital flight (Ajayi, 1996). In addition, capital flight has adverse consequences for developing countries. First, the loss of capital ...

ABSTRACT We propose in this article a Composite Logistic Regression (CLR) approach for ordinal panel data regression. The new method transforms the original ordinal regression problem into a number of binary ones. Thereafter, the method of conditional logistic regression (Chamberlain, 1984; Wooldridge, 2001; Hsiao, 2003) can be directly applied. As a result, the new method allows the unobserved subject effects to be correlated with the observed predictors in an arbitrary ...

ABSTRACT In the ranking of the largest economies of the world measured by their gross domestic products in terms of 1995 constant US$, China and India stood at the 19th and 20th positions in 1980 but in 2005 the ranking places them at the 7th and 12th positions respectively. Such a quantum jump of these two economies, particularly China, over two and a half decades is remarkable 1. What is ...

ABSTRACT In these last years there has been an increasing literature developing DSGE Open Economy Models with market imperfections and nominal rigidities. It is the so called”New Open Economy Macroeconomics”. Up to now within this class of models (and differently from what it is happening in New Keynesian closed economy models) relatively little attention has been devoted to the labor markets. The first two chapters provide two cases where relaxing ...
