Abstract

In this paper we re-examine the monetary model of the exchange rate in a panel context. In particular, we examine three panel data sets constructed for the US dollar, German mark and Japanese yen exchange rates using annual data for the recent floating experience. Amongst our findings are: compelling evidence of cointegrating relationships in all three panels; an ERM effect, in the sence that the mark denominated panel produces point estimates of monetary approach coefficients which are close to their priors; relatively rapid speeds of adjustment to the monetary approach equilibrium (half-lives of between 3 and 6 years).
