Dynamic Short-term Exchange Rate Model for Commodity Currencies
(2011) NEKK01 20111Department of Economics
- Abstract
- This paper examines the short run impact of commodity prices and traditional exchange rate determinants on the exchange rates of Australia and New Zealand against the U.S. dollar. Using a multiple OLS regression we find that for both countries the commodity price variable has a significant effect on the exchange rate. We also find that inflation differentials has an effect, although positive, which suggests expectation effects. Moreover, we find that for Australia the short-term interest rate spread has a positive effect on the exchange rate,
contradicting the theory.
