Essays on the dynamics of the U.S. real exchange rate by Li, Yingzhu

“…Subsequent structural form analysis shows that only relative productivity shock has a significant long-run impact on the U.S. real exchange rate. Forecast error variance decomposition also shows that while transitory shocks and relative fiscal policy shock account for more than two thirds of short-run movements in the U.S. real exchange rate, relative productivity shock dominates its long-run fluctuations. …”
