Equilibrium exchange rates in Southeastern Europe, Russia, Ukraine and Turkey: Healthy or (Dutch) diseased?
Balázs Égert ()
Abstract: This paper investigates the equilibrium exchange rates of
three Southeastern European countries (Bulgaria, Croatia and Romania), of
two CIS economies (Russia and Ukraine) and of Turkey. A systematic approach
in terms of different time horizons at which the equilibrium exchange rate
is assessed is conducted, combined with a careful analysis of
country-specific factors. For Russia, a first look is taken at the Dutch
Disease phenomenon as a possible driving force behind equilibrium exchange
rates. A unified framework including productivity and net foreign assets
completed with a set control variables such as openness, public debt and
public expenditures is used to compute total real misalignment bands.
