东亚单一货币可行性分析

结合“最优货币区”理论对东亚单一货币的形成条件以及加入货币区的成本与收益进行了分析。虽然目前东亚尚不具备组建单一货币区的条件,但从合作博弈的俱乐部理论来看,在可预见的未来,东亚建立单一货币区是有可能的。     

亚洲货币合作的障碍与前景

本文运用最适度货币区理论探讨了在经济全球化、国际金融一体化趋势下,亚洲尤其是东亚货币合作的重要意义及现存的条件。分析了亚洲货币合作的障碍。从文化、地缘关系等方面,运用网络化的思维方式从史学的角度逻辑地揭示了亚洲货币合作的光明前景。     

基于理论和实际依据的东亚货币合作设想——东亚货币合作之路和东亚元

根据最优货币区、货币危机和货币竞争等理论和东亚经济以及世界经济的发展情况,东亚货币合作的必要性是显而易见的。针对东亚货币合作的需要,结合货币合作理论和现实依据,东亚货币合作进程大致可分为三个阶段,第一建立东亚货币基金,第二建立完善的东亚汇率制度,第三建立单一货币区,启动东亚元。最后论述东亚货币合作存在的问题,并提出笔者的隐忧。     

对东亚建立最优货币区的探讨

随着区域经济一体化的发展,越来越多的学者开始关注东亚的区域经济合作,试图将欧元区的成功经验用于东亚地区,建立东亚的最优货币区.本文通过对最优货币区的简单介绍以及对最优货币区评判标准的分析与研究,得出结论,认为东亚并不具备建立最优货币区的可行性.     

东亚汇率协调机制与中国的理性选择

1997年亚洲金融危机之后,汇率协调的重要性已在东亚各国政府及经济学界形成共识.对于如何建立东亚汇率协调机制,许多国家政府和经济学家都提出了解决方案,并进行了大量的实证研究.如东亚日元区方案、东亚美元本位方案、一篮子目标区爬升钉住方案、亚洲汇率机制方案以及编制亚洲货币单位方案等.但是,通过对比分析各种协调方案认为,目前在亚洲还不存在一种可行的稳定的汇率协调机制,因此,谋求人民币在亚洲地区作为关键货币的地位才是中国在东亚货币合作中的最大利益所在.     

东亚货币合作：现实动因与可行性分析

蒙代尔(2000)预言,在未来10年内将出现三大货币区:欧元区、美元区和亚洲货币区,即“稳定性三岛”。东亚主要经济体构建统一货币区具有可行性。加强子区域货币合作,逐步融合为大的货币区,对于建立以次区域合作为基础、制度化建设为依托、动态的渐进式东亚货币合作模式具有重大意义。     

以自由贸易区（FTA）推动的东亚货币合作

在目前东亚经济一体化的步伐落后于货币一体化的情况下推进东亚货币合作 ,必须解决货币一体化“动力缺失”的难题。为此 ,笔者提出以自由贸易区 (FTA)为推动力的东亚货币合作构想 :按照组建FTA的动向将东亚“10 3”国家分成三个次区 ,首先推进各次区内部的货币合作 ,然后在此基础上进行次区间的货币整合 ,最终实现整个东亚的货币统一。     

东亚货币合作的可能模式评析

自从1997年东亚经济金融危机发生之后,为使东亚地区的经济社会重新走向发展之路,东亚地区已对危机中所暴露出来的问题进行了调整或改革,其中东亚地区的货币合作问题已成为东亚地区理论界与决策层高度关注的一个紧迫性议题,并且已经提出了很多富有积极性与建设性的政策建议。迄今为止,关于建立东亚货币合作机制或制度的构想可以归纳为以下几种:强化钉住美元的汇率制度;建立日元货币区;建立由美元、欧元、日元等数种货币组成的货币篮子联动的汇率制度;建立人民币货币区等。一、强化钉住美元的汇率制度(一)方案的提出背景与政策主张为使东亚地…     

东亚货币合作的可行性分析

从20世纪60年代至今,许多经济学家提出的货币一体化观点和标准使得最优货币区理论不断得到完善和发展。我们以欧元区理论与实践研究为范本,选取适合建立亚洲统一货币体系的几个最为重要的指标,结合东亚主要经济体的经济结构和政策目标,探索东亚地区货币合作的可能性。然后以人民币国际化进程为核心,讨论东亚货币合作的可能途径,从而达到亚洲地区经济稳定发展和金融一体化的目标     

东亚货币合作可行性的经济数据检验——基于OCA理论的分析

在最优货币区理论构筑的分析框架下,东亚区域在经济开放度、出口产品结构相似性、经济冲击对称性方面达到了OCA理论的标准,而在生产要素的流动性、金融市场一体化等方面距离最优货币区的标准尚有差距,但是这种差距正在缩小。通货膨胀相似性方面东亚整体虽未满足OCA标准的要求,但是有次区域已经符合这一标准。考虑到最优货币区标准的内生性,而且大量文献通过对东亚地区进行分组并采用不同的研究方法,证明东亚地区存在形成最优货币区的潜力,因而对次区域的货币合作可行性分析依然乐观。     

从OCA理论看东亚地区货币金融合作的前景

在经济全球化和金融自由化的背景下,国家之间的货币政策协调越来越显得重要,最优货币区理论就是在这一背景下提出的.对东亚地区而言,在东南亚金融危机爆发以后,加强国家之间的货币金融合作的呼声越来越高,并且东亚地区许多方面已经满足了最优货币区的标准.但由于政治上的原因,在东亚地区建立统一货币区的时机还不成熟,因此,东亚地区货币区的建立应该在最优货币区理论的指导下循序渐进地进行.     

Is East Asia an optimum currency area?

This paper assesses the empirical desirability of the East Asian economies to an alternative exchange rate arrangement (a monetary union) that can potentially enhance the exchange rate stability and credibility in the region. Specifically, the symmetry in macroeconomic disturbances of the East Asian economies is examined as satisfying one of the preconditions for forming an Optimum Currency Area (OCA). We extend the existing literature by improving the methodology of assessing the symmetry shocks in evaluating the suitability of a common currency area in the East Asian economies employing the Bayesian State-Space Based approach. We consider a model of an economy in which the output is influenced by global, regional and country-specific shocks. The importance of a common regional shock would provide a case for a regional common currency. This model allows us to examine regional and country-specific cycles simultaneously with the world business cycle. The importance of the shocks decomposition is that studying a subset of countries can lead one to believe that observed co-movement is particular to that subset of countries when it in fact is common to a much larger group of countries. In addition, the understanding of the sources of international economic fluctuations is important for making policy decisions. The falling share of country specific factor and the rising role of region factor indicate that East Asia has become increasingly favorable for a monetary union. However, the share of country-specific factor that is still significant implies that it could be costly to renounce individual currencies to advance into a monetary union in East Asia.     

东亚货币合作研究文献综述

东亚货币合作是当前国际经济理论界关注的一个重要问题。本文就国内外理论界对东亚货币合作相关问题的研究文献进行了回顾和梳理,分析比较后发现国外学者注重理论发展和实证研究,国内学者则较侧重规范分析。     

An analysis of East Asian currency area: Bayesian dynamic factor model approach

There has recently been an increasing interest in the establishment of a common currency area in East Asia in the aftermath of the East Asian financial crisis. In this article I examine the desirability and feasibility of forming a currency area in the region by checking the symmetry of shocks as an important criterion of the theory of Optimum Currency Area. I employ a dynamic factor model to decompose aggregate output into world, regional and country‐specific components and estimate the model using a Gibbs sampling simulation. Persistent properties of those components are examined and variance decomposition analysis is performed to investigate the role of each component in output variance. The European Monetary Union, with the successful launch of the euro, is the natural benchmark for comparison. Based on variance analysis, it is found that East Asian countries, on average, are less plausible candidates for a currency area than European counterparts. However, a subgroup of countries in East Asia is as qualified as those in Europe. Given the ongoing integration in East Asia, it is not premature to prepare for such a currency area in this region.     

TOWARD A REGIONAL EXCHANGE RATE REGIME IN EAST ASIA

Abstract.  Deepening market-driven economic integration in East Asia makes intraregional exchange rate across the region increasingly desirable and necessary. The paper suggests that East Asia's emerging economies begin to choose a currency basket as a monetary policy anchor to enable all East Asian currencies to collectively appreciate vis-à-vis the US dollar, while maintaining intraregional rate stability, in the event of surges of capital inflows or a rapid unwinding of global payments imbalances. Following this initial step, East Asia may agree on more rigid intraregional exchange rate stabilization schemes through, for example, an Asian Snake or an Asian Exchange Rate Mechanism.     

东亚货币竞争性均衡与人民币货币锚效应

人民币的升值空间,取决于东亚货币的集体竞争性均衡。东亚货币的集体升值,有助于缓解全球国际收支失衡,提高东亚经济的福利水平。东亚区域已经存在通过人民币的升值带动东亚区域整体升值的基础,人民币升值并不必然导致出口竞争力的下降,却能起到提高区域福利水平,缓解全球国际收支失衡的作用。     

人民币成为区域主导货币的实证研究——基于汇率视角的考察

从历史和现实的视角看,如果说布雷顿森林体系的崩溃导致了欧洲货币体系的形成和欧元的诞生,那么美国金融危机引发的国际货币动荡正在使东亚各国脱离美元本位,寻找区域内稳定的货币锚,而人民币则有可能成为东亚区域内首选的货币锚。本文拟从多边汇率相互影响的视角出发,实证分析人民币汇率变动态势及其与东亚其他货币之间联动关系的变化(包括其它国际货币汇率的变动对东亚其它货币之间关系变化的比较),从而揭示人民币成为区域锚货币、成为区域主导货币的可能性及其途径、进而了解人民币经济区形成的条件和趋势。     

Optimum currency area theory: evidence from post-Soviet countries and implications for Eurasian Economic Union

In this article the theory of optimum currency area is applied to post-Soviet and other selected countries. The study finds smaller exchange rate variability when the economies are closely linked by bilateral trade, are subject to similar shocks both on aggregate and at the industry level, have similar inflation rates, are open and smaller in economic size, and have higher labour migration as proxied by remittance flows. The estimation results also substantiate that the US dollar plays a dominant role as an anchor currency. Next, the study shows that economic fundamentals suggest limited prospects of a common currency for post-Soviet countries, particularly for the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). It is also found that Moldova, among the post-Soviet countries, better approximates an optimum currency area with Russia. Further, when the government debt-to-GDP ratio is taken into account, only Kazakhstan from the EAEU member countries stands out as having positive prospects for forming a common currency area with Russia.     

人民币成为亚洲储备性货币现状研究

人民币初步具备了区域性货币的条件,但由于其现有国际货币地位低下、影响力不足,人民币在相当长的时间内将处于国际货币竞争格局的弱势地位,要使人民币成为亚洲主要储备性货币,我国必须首先加强自身的轻济实力,这是一国货币国际化的基础;其次,必须考虑和亚洲尤其是东亚形成更紧密经贸关系,在东亚金融合作中,我国应该发挥主导作用;最后,必须完善我国的资本市场和金融市场结构,形成由市场决定的汇率及利率机制。
