Book Synopsis Essays on Monetary Coordination, Exchange Rate Volatility and Interfirm Networks by : Qing Liu
Download or read book Essays on Monetary Coordination, Exchange Rate Volatility and Interfirm Networks written by Qing Liu and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation consists of three independent essays in Macroeconomics. The first essay analyzes monetary coordination between currency areas. It is shown that search frictions can generate the deviations from the law of one price and that each country is tempted to exploit these deviations by inflation. Monetary coordination eliminates the inefficiency caused by inflation. The welfare gains from coordination increase when the two economies become more integrated. In contrast to traditional models, the need for coordination exists even after each country is allowed to directly tax foreign holdings of its currency.The second essay studies the behavior of exchange rates in an environment with search frictions. In contrast to traditional models, even without any nominal rigidity, the model can generate enough volatility of exchange rates found in the data. The changes in the behavior of exchange rates under different regimes are also examined in this essay. The model shows a sharp increase in the volatility of exchange rates when moving from a pegged to a floating exchange regime, while there is no such systematic change in fluctuations of output or consumption. Moreover, the co-movements of output and consumption across countries are higher under a fixed rate regime than under a flexible rate regime. These results are consistent with empirical findings.The final essay focuses on the competition between groups of allied firms. In the essay we propose a model of group fitness and develop an approach to evaluate the fitness of groups and the utility of their member firms. A group has high fitness if member firms have four features: (i) high capacity, (ii) being embedded in dense relationships, (iii) holding complementary resources and (iv) having limited competition and conflict. We illustrate the effectiveness of our model and methodology by applying it to the airline groups between 1997 and 2002. By examining what really happened to the airline groups afterwards, we found that the predictions based on the comparison between the fitness scores of actual groups formed and those of the corresponding population constructed are reasonably accurate, and that the implications based on the ranking of individual firm utility within each group are generally supported.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis explores a number of aspects of time series modelling of exchange rate volatility. After having reviewed the main modelling approaches used in the existing literature, the first key chapter investigates the best models for forecasting the volatility of daily exchange rate returns for a number of countries, including new results for a selection of developing countries. The superior performance of the FIGARCH model, noted in the recent literature, is confirmed in the case of industrialised countries, but the MARCH model results in substantial gains in insample estimation and out-of-sample forecasting performance when dealing with developing countries. The next essay investigates exchange rate volatility co-movements and spillovers before and after the launch of the Euro. This study has the advantage of a longer sample period than the most comparable papers. Key results are that the dominance of the Deutschemark in volatility transmission was succeeded by the dominance of the Euro following its launch, in that both exert unidirectional and persistent spillovers on the sterling, the Swiss franc and the Japanese yen. Further, there is evidence of greater stability in financial markets after the launch of the Euro in that conditional variances, covariances and correlations in exchange rate returns declined significantly. Finally the thesis turns to assessing the impact of official central bank interventions (CB1s) on exchange rate returns, their volatility and bilateral correlations. By exploiting the recent publication of intervention data by the Bank of England, this study is able to investigate interventions by a total number of four central banks, while the previous studies have been limited to three (the Federal Reserve, Bundesbank and Bank of Japan). The results of the existing literature are reappraised and refined. In particular, unilateral CBI is found to be more successful than coordinated CBI. The likely implications of these findings are then discussed.

Book Synopsis Essays on Real Exchange Rate Volatility and Openness in International Trade by : Abelardo Salazar Neaves

This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work comprises five chapters that explore in detail issues related to real exchange rate volatility and trade openness. In the case of real exchange rate volatility, we start with the decomposition of this measure to determine the relative contribution of traded and nontraded goods to the variance of the real exchange rate. We obtain evidence in favour of a relevant role for non-traded goods. Our estimation of the real exchange rate volatility is included in the second chapter. Our results, based on a cross-section regression, show that the existing link of openness to real exchange rate volatility is weaker when we control for imposed and natural trade barriers. At the same time we are able to obtain a relationship between inflation volatility and the variation of the real exchange rate. Chapters three and four are related to our real exchange rate volatility model. We decide to obtain a specication for openness that could help us explore in detail the idea of country characteristics aecting trade flows. Our rst approach considers a cross-section estimation to identify the factors that consistently aect trade openness. The second approach considers a more dynamic specication. We are able to establish a link between country characteristics and trade openness. At the same time our results capture interesting changes in the eects of the dependent variables on openness across time. The final chapter takes us back to the analysis of real exchange rate volatility. In this case, we explore which measure is the most appropriate amongst those calculated from series in levels and the ones in first dierences. We conclude that series that do not show less stationary behaviour require longer time series (more observations) in order to display results that close to the reference value.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis is a collection of four essays on exchange rate policies, macroeconomic volatility and inequality in Latin America. Known to be a currency crises-prone region, Latin America is also highly volatile and the most unequal region of the world. On the other hand, and perhaps as a consequence of the above, these economies exhibit strong market failures. My research takes into account these factors in order to determine if there is a rationale for the intervention of the government in the economy be it for the sake of economic optimality or for social considerations. This research is divided in two parts. The first part focuses on optimal monetary policy in emerging markets in the light of two main economic characteristics of these economies: the currency mismatch and a high inflation pass-through. The first chapter addresses the theoretical foundations of the "fear of floating" which has been observed to characterize Latin American economies' exchange rate regimes. We show that the literature has identified circumstances under which optimal monetary policy limits exchange rate volatility. The second chapter assesses the trade-off faced by developing economies in the light of exchange rate pass-through and a non-Walrasian labor market from an optimal monetary policy perspective. The second part analyses the effects of macroeconomic volatility on inequality. The third charter reviews the literature both theoretically and empirically. Finally, the fourth chapter examines in a three-agents model the role on the informal sector to explain the link between volatility and inequality. We show that this new channel may challenge the conventional wisdom and that the poor are not necessarily worst-off.

This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Motivated by the existence of time-varying volatility in exchange rates, the paper investigates the effects of exchange rate volatility shocks on a small open economy. First, we use a high-frequency dataset to generate a volatility measure for the period, instead of the traditional moving average standard deviation of exchange rates. The structural VAR impulse responses utilizing the volatility measure yield more significant and robust reactions of real variables to a volatility shock. Consumption, ouput, investment and net export exhibit non-trivial decrease upon impact of the shock. On the contrary, an exchange rate level shock and the traditional volatility measure fail to generate robust impulse responses under different Cholseky orderings. Second, we develop a theoretical model based on a standard New Keynesian small open economy, which can replicate the effects of a volatility shock observed in the VAR result. We solve the model up to a third order approximation so that the solution includes an explicit time-varying volatility term. The model impulse responses exhibit that real variables respond to a volatility shock and they are qualitatively consistent with the VAR result. The underlying mechanism is precautionary saving. The result is sensitive to various parameters such as the openness parameter and the elasticity of inter-temporal substitution. Finally, we make a welfare analysis regarding the optimal monetary policy. Two types of welfare measures are used: the unconditional mean of utility and the conditional welfare. The conditional welfare suggests that policy makers should raise the interest rate when volatility increases. The seemingly counter-intuitive result is due to the fact that the conditional welfare measure reflects dynamic response of the agent throughout her life-cycle. Under the optimal policy suggested by the conditional welfare, the initial consumption adjustment is severe but agents work less and eventually enjoy a higher level of consumption from savings carried over from earlier periods.
