Book Description
We analyse the consequences of US real interest rate rises on the real exchange rate (RER) in a two-good overlapping generations model of a semi-small open economy. The equilibrium RER depreciates (appreciates) when the world interest rate increases in a debtor (creditor) country. We then study empirically the reaction of the RER in a set of South East Asian (SEA) countries to shocks in US real interest rates. The results support the conclusions of the theory model at least for Singapore, Thailand and South Korea during the period 1980-2001.

Proposed Strategy for a Regional Exchange Rate Arrangement in Post-crisis East Asia
Author: Masahiro Kawai

A coordinated action by East Asian countries to stabilize their currencies against a common basket of major currencies (broadly representative of their average structure of trade and foreign direct investment) would help stabilize both intraregional exchange rates and effective exchange rates, in a way consistent with the medium-term objective of promoting trade investment and growth in the region.

Economic Instability and Flexible Exchange Rates
Author: Robert V. Roosa
Publisher: Institute of Southeast Asian
ISBN: 9971902591
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 47
Book Description
This paper focuses on the risks accompanying a vibrant and expanding monetary system. It views in broad terms an apparent gap in economic analysis that seems to prevent any single answer to the paradox that a highly sophisticated payments system also seems to generate economic instability. The volatile behaviour of foreign exchange markets is examined, and operational possibilities for attempting to minimize the often conflicting differences between movements of capital and trade are put forward.

ASEAN Exchange Rates
Author: Pradumna B. Rana
Publisher: Institute of Southeast Asian Studies
ISBN: 9971902362
Category : ASEAN
Languages : en
Pages : 129
Book Description
This book examines the experience of the ASEAN countries in the post-Bretton Woods era - the period of generalized currency float. It outlines the major developments in the exchange rate policies of the ASEAN countries in the 1970s and analyses the movements of the effective exchange rates (both in terms of the trend and short-run variability) and their sources. The study shows that the increased exchange rate risk (variaibility) experienced by the ASEAN countries during the generalized floating period has had an anti-trade bias - reduced volume of imports. On the export side, simulations of world trade models for various commodities are carried out, and these indicate that multilateral changes in real exchange rates in the present international monetary system had adversely affected the major primary exports of the ASEAN countries. In the final chapter, the policy implications of the major findings are discussed.

Toward an East Asian Exchange Rate Regime
Author: Duck-Koo Chung
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 0815714181
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 176
Book Description
East Asian exchange rates have become a global flashpoint. U.S. policymakers blame artificially low Asian currency values for global imbalances, including America's ballooning current account deficit. The solution, they argue, lies in some combination of greater exchange rate flexibility and the appreciation of Asian currencies against the dollar. Asian officials recognize the need to let their exchange rates rise, but they fear that would hamper growth and cut sharply into the value of their dollar reserves. Toward an East Asian Exchange Rate Regime offers a timely and comprehensive analysis of the resulting debates, drawing on expertise from China, Japan, South Korea, and the United States. The introduction reviews the issues at stake, sketches a variety of proposed exchange rate regimes, and discusses comparisons between East Asia and the West. Subsequent chapters examine the connection between global financial imbalances and East Asian monetary cooperation, China's potential role in regional coordination, the relationship between monetary and trade integration, and different paths toward regional cooperation. Authoritative yet concise, this is an essential primer on East Asian monetary integration. Contributors include Gongpil Choi (Korean Institute of Finance, Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco), Masahiro Kawai (University of Tokyo, Asian Development Bank), Kwanho Shin (Korea University), Yunjong Wang (SK Institute), Masaru Yoshitomi (RIETI,Tokyo), and Yongding Yu (Chinese Academy of Social Sciences).
