Do Fundamentals Explain the Behaviour of the Swedish Real Effective Exchange Rate?

This study examines the long‐run relationship between the real effective exchange rate and its fundamental determinants, and derives a real effective equilibrium exchange rate for the Swedish krona. Our results indicate that the krona was severely overvalued in late 1992, when the fixed exchange rate regime was abandoned. By the end of 2000 the krona was undervalued by approximately 5 percent, given the prevailing economic conditions. Arithmetic examples of suitable SEK/EUR conversion rates are calculated under various assumptions to provide a guideline if Sweden were to adopt the euro in the future.     

Estimating the Equilibrium Effective Exchange Rate for Potential EMU Members

In this study, we attempt to examine the possibility of emergence of significant fluctuations of the exchange rates in the future for the candidate EMU countries. In doing so, we estimate the equilibrium rate of the nominal effective exchange rate for Poland, Hungary, Slovak Republic and Malta through the BEER and PEER approaches. While the PEER-based estimation implies a large misalignment rate for the Hungarian forint, the BEER-based analysis shows that the present exchange rates of the countries considered do not deviate significantly from their equilibrium rates. As a consequence, based on BEER analysis, we do not expect large fluctuations in the effective exchange rates among the currencies considered. Hence, the relevant effective exchange rates are expected to be relatively stable. As a matter of fact, the entry of those countries into EMU is not expected to weaken the stability of Euro.

均衡汇率理论研究综述

本文主要对西方均衡汇率理论进行梳理,简略介绍了几类理论模型。它们分别从不同角度对均衡汇率问题进行了研究。     

均衡汇率理论研究综述

均衡汇率理论经过几十年的发展,已经成为经济学研究的一个重要领域。目前研究比较系统且取得一定成果的均衡汇率理论主要有:基本要素均衡汇率理论(FEER)、行为均衡汇率理论(BEER)、自然均衡汇率理论(NATREX)和均衡实际汇率理论(ERER)。它们分别从不同的角度研究均衡汇率问题。     

人民币均衡汇率分析:BEER方法

本文运用行为均衡汇率模型BEER方法，采用1995年第1季度至2005年第4季度的数据，估计了人民币均衡实际汇率以及人民币实际汇率失调程度。协整分析结果表明，相对贸易条件的改善和净对外资产比重的提高会引起均衡汇率升值，而反映Balassa-Samuelson效应的非贸易品与贸易品价格比的提高、开放度的提升及政府支出比重的上升都会引起人民币均衡汇率的贬值。样本期内汇率失调的估计结果表明，人民币实际汇率的失调程度并不像国外文献估计的那么高，相反在我们估计的样本期内失调程度是比较小的，说明人民币实际汇率基本稳定在均衡汇率附近。增长回归分析表明汇率失调对经济增长率有负面影响，高估会降低经济增长率，而低估对经济增长有一定的促进作用，实际汇率波动对经济增长没有显著影响。     

基于BEER模型的人民币均衡汇率研究

自2005年7月我国汇率改革后,人民币持续升值。2014年2月到3月中旬,人民币兑美元汇率下跌创下5年内最大跌幅2.6%,引发国际上各方舆论。在当前形势下,科学合理地评估人民币均衡汇率水平,具有重要的现实意义。在分析总结均衡汇率理论的基础上,选择适合我国国情的行为均衡汇率理论（BEER）,采用1994—2014年的月度数据,通过协整检验建立了人民币均衡汇率模型和误差修正模型,测算出人民币实际有效汇率总失调程度,结果表明不存在大幅高估或低估。     

均衡汇率决定理论——基于BEER模型对人民币均衡汇率的实证分析

确定均衡汇率是汇率管理的关键。本文从介绍国内外均衡汇率决定理论出发,结合BEER理论,选取1994年1季度到2008年4季度的相关季度数据来进行简要的实证研究,试图探究均衡汇率决定的内在机理,为确定合理的汇率水平提供依据,并分析各解释变量对均衡汇率的实际影响情况。     

How frequent a BEER? Assessing the impact of data frequency on real exchange rate misalignment estimation

This article explores the robustness of Behavioural Equilibrium Exchange Rate models, employed to estimate real effective exchange rate misalignments, to the frequency of the underlying data. It compares misalignments stemming from an annual model, estimated since 1980, and a comparable quarterly model, estimated since 1999. The two sets of estimates are similar. Moreover, the in-sample power of quarterly REER misalignments in explaining subsequent REER developments is higher than that of the annual estimates. This article therefore suggests that the “optimal” frequency of a BEER model depends on whether its resulting estimates are employed for research purposes or for policy-making activities.     

An analysis on the relationship between RMB interest rate and exchange rate based on BEER model

The internal money market and international money market will mix together when the finance market is open. Researching on the relationship between interest rate and RMB exchange rate is so meaningful. Based on the reality of market-based reform in our country, the paper employs the BEER model to analyze the interest rate＇s influence to the RMB equilibrium exchange rate, and inspects the realistic performance of the interest rate and exchange rate mechanism. Then it seeks some effective measures to promote the interactive development of the interest rate and exchange rate markets.
