Real Exchange Rate Fluctuations in East Asia: Generalized Impulse‐Response Analysis

Ping Wang and John Dunne

Asian Economic Journal, 2003, vol. 17, issue 2, 185-203

Abstract: Using generalised impulse response analysis, this paper investigates the dynamic adjustment of real exchange rates to real shocks for a group of East Asian currencies. The analysis reveals that the fundamentals, or real factors, explain some, but not all, of the variations of real exchange rates, and that the different disturbances have different degrees of importance for each currency. Therefore, there is no universal panacea for fluctuations in real exchange rates. The findings leave considerable scope for policy intervention to mitigate the unfavourable effects.
