Working Papers from African Economic Research Consortium

Abstract: This report analyses the effects of real exchange rate (RER) movements (defined in terms of misalignment and volatility) on the growth of non-oil exports in Nigeria over the period 1960-1990. RER is defined as the relative price of tradeables to non-tradeables, and RER misalignments are derived using a model based approach and the purchasing power parity (PPP) approach.
