Title: Equilibrium Exchange Rates in Central and Eastern Europe: A Meta-Regression Analysis

Author(s): Balázs Égert and László Halpern

Publication Date: January 2005

Keyword(s): Balassa-Samuelson effect, equilibrium exchange rate and meta-analysis

Programme Area(s): Institutions and Economic Performance

Abstract: This Paper sets out to analyse the ever-growing literature on equilibrium exchange rates in the new EU member states of Central and Eastern Europe in a quantitative manner using meta-regression analysis. We study the extent to which the estimated real misalignments reported in the literature depend on the underlying theoretical approach (Balassa-Samuelson effect, Behavioural Equilibrium Exchange Rate, Fundamental Equilibrium Exchange Rate) and on other characteristics of the individual studies. We also seek to explore whether we can gain more insight from the literature regarding what determines the size and, perhaps more importantly, the sign of the estimated coefficient of the productivity variable and of two other variables commonly included in real exchange rate determination equations, notably net foreign assets and openness.
