Abstract: | The author develops an Australian 'commodity currency' exchange rate model, which is extended to deal with real exchange rates as well. The nominal and real exchange-rate versions are then tested on Swiss data for the post-Bretton Woods period. While the model tracks the Swiss franc nominal exchange rate vis-à-vis the dollar and the major European currencies very well, Swiss PPP real exchange rates are found to be contaminated with measurement error. |
