Five diffusion models are estimated using three different foreign exchange rates to find an appropriate model for each. Daily spot exchange rates expressed as the prices of 1 euro, 1 British pound and 100 Japanese yen in US dollars, respectively denoted by USD/EUR, USD/GBP, and USD/100JPY, are used. The maximum likelihood estimation method is implemented after deriving an approximate log-transition density function (log-TDF) of the diffusion processes because the true log-TDF is unknown. Of the five models, the most general model is the best fit for the USD/GBP, and USD/100JPY exchange rates, but it is not the case for the case of USD/EUR. Although we could not find any evidence of the mean-reverting property for the USD/EUR exchange rate, the USD/GBP, and USD/100JPY exchange rates show the mean-reversion behavior. Interestingly, the volatility function of the USD/EUR exchange rate is increasing in the exchange rate while the volatility functions of the USD/GBP and USD/100Yen exchange rates have a U-shape. Our results reveal that more care has to be taken when determining a diffusion model for the exchange rate. The results also imply that we may have to use a more general diffusion model than those proposed in the literature when developing economic theories for the behavior of the exchange rate and pricing foreign currency options or derivatives.

본 논문의 연구목적은 원화환율의 변화가 국내 서비스무역수지에 미치는 영향을 분석하는 것이다. 실증분석 결과에 의하면 우리나라의 서비스수지는 주로 원/달러, 원/엔 환율에 의해서 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 서비스수지 수입 및 지급은 원/달러 환율과는 부의 관계를, 원/엔 환율과는 정의 관계를 갖는다. 원/달러, 원/엔 환율이 동시에 절하될 경우 서비스수지는 개선되는 것으로 나타났다. 운수수지는 원/달러, 원/엔, 그리고 원/위안 환율, 여행수지는 원/달러 환율, 그리고 사업서비스수지는 원/달러, 원/엔 환율에 의해서 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다.

This study investigates the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on exchange rates of the top ten currencies according to their trading value with Thailand by employing a regression analysis. Data includes daily number of COVID-19 cases - confirmed, new, deaths - and exchange rates against Thai Baht - CNY, JPY, USD, MYR, SGD, VND, IDR, AUD, HKD, TWD - which cover the period from January 2, 2020 to December 15, 2020. Results show that the confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Thailand relate to changes in all exchange rates; CNY, MYR, SGD, VND, AUD, and TWD have depreciated in relation to the THB, whereas JPY, USD, IDR, and HKD have appreciated. Furthermore, the new cases and deaths of COVID-19 have similar associations with almost all exchange rates. Deprecation of the JPY, USD, VND, HKD, and TWD in relation to the THB is due to new cases, on the contrary the MYR, IDR, and AUD have appreciated. Likewise, the JPY, USD, VND, and HKD have depreciated, but the CNY, MYR, SGD, and AUD have appreciated in relation to the THB owing to deaths cases. The study findings provide useful knowledge to manage an exchange rate risk for business and could help policymakers to improve the efficiency of exchange rate.

This paper examines the effects of financial crises on the long memory volatility dependency of daily exchange returns focusing on the Asian crisis in 97-98 and the Global crisis in 08-09. By using the daily KRW-USD and JPY-USD exchange rates which have different trading regions and volumes, this paper first applies both the parametric FIGARCH model and the semi-parametric Local Whittle method to estimate the long memory volatility dependency of the daily returns and the temporally aggregated returns of the two exchange rates. Then it compares the effects of the two financial crises on the long memory volatility dependency of the daily returns. The estimation results reflect that the long memory volatility dependency of the KRW-USD is generally greater than that of the JPY-USD returns and the long memory dependency of the two returns appears to be invariant to temporal aggregation. And, the two financial crises appear to affect the volatility dynamics of all the returns by inducing greater long memory dependency in the volatility process of the exchange returns, but the degree of the effects of the two crises seems to be different on the exchange rates.

This paper reviews the categories and properties of risk measures, analyzes the classes and structural equations of volatility forecasting models, and presents the practical methodologies and their expansion methods of estimating and forecasting the volatilities of exchange rates using Excel spreadsheet modeling. We apply the GARCH(1,1) model to the Korean won(KRW) denominated daily and monthly exchange rates of USD, JPY, EUR, GBP, CAD and CNY during the periods from January 4, 1998 to December 31, 2009, make the estimates of long-run variances in the returns of exchange rate calculated as the step-by-step change rate, and test the adequacy of estimated GARCH(1,1) model using the Box-Pierce-Ljung statistics Q and chi-square test-statistics. We demonstrate the adequacy of GARCH(1,1) model in estimating and forecasting the volatility of exchange rates in the monthly series except the semi-variance GARCH(1,1) applied to KRW/JPY100 rate. But we reject the adequacy of GARCH(1,1) model in estimating and forecasting the volatility of exchange rates in the daily series because of the very high Box-Pierce-Ljung statistics in the respective time lags resulting to the self-autocorrelation. In conclusion, the GARCH(1,1) model provides for the easy and helpful tools to forecast the exchange rate volatilities and may become the powerful methodology to overcome the application difficulties with the spreadsheet modeling.

KPSS 검정법과 ADF 검정법을 이용하여 시계열 변수에 대한 단위근 존재유무 검정을 실시한 결과 모든 수준변수는 불안정적이며, 차분변수는 안정적인 것으로 나타났다. 다음으로 EG 공적분 검정과 Johansen 공적분 검정 결과 3개 운임의 검정통계량 모두 공적분 관계가 성립하는 것으로 나타났다. 공적분 검정 결과 모형의 허구적 회귀 가능성이 배제되고, 공적분 벡터가 존재하는 것으로 나타남에 따라 공적분 벡터 추정식과 오차수정모형을 도출하였다. 그 결과 환율의 상승은 운임의 하락을, 주가의 상승은 운임의 상승 초래하는 것으로 나타났다. 운임에 미치는 영향은 환율보다 주가가 더 큰 것으로 분석되었다. 또한 오차항의 계수가 통계적으로 유의하였으며 BDI와 BPI는 매월 11%의 속도로, BCI는 매월 12%의 속도로 장기균형으로 수렴되고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 이어 더불어 충격반응분석 결과 모두 운임은 환율과 주가 충격에 각각 하락과 상승 반응을 보여주었다. 모든 운임은 1개월에 가장 큰 반응을 보였으며, BCI가 환율과 주가 충격에 대해 가장 큰 반응을 보였으며, 지속기간으로는 BDI가 가장 장기적이었다. 또한 GARCH 모형을 통해 도출한 다우존스지수 변동성이 운임에 미치는 영향을 살펴본 결과 주가 변동성 충격에 대한 BPI, BCI, BDI의 반응의 크기가 각각 1개월에서 -0.0227, -0.0210, -0.0183로 나타났다. 또한 수입변동성 충격에 대한 BCI와 BDI의 반응의 크기가 각각 1개월에서 -0.0103과 -0.0001로, BPI의 반응의 크기가 2개월에서 -0.0027로 나타났다. 그리고 누적충격반응 분석 결과 환율이 1달러에 3엔 상승하는 충격과 주가가 400포인트 상승하는 충격에 대해 BCI가 가장 큰 폭으로 반응을 보이는 것으로 분석되었다.

본 연구는 예상환율변화율, 예상인플레이션 차이, 및 이자율 차이를 활용하여 한국의 외환시장, 실물시장, 및 화폐시장 간의 상호관계를 분석하였으며, 계량경제기법으로는 합리적 기대가설과 GARCH-M 모형을 적용하였다. 또한, 국제 Fisher 효과를 분석하여 국내외의 실질이자율이 국가간 자본유출입에 미치는 영향도 분석하였다. 분석결과에 의하면 한국의 경우 외환시장의 효율성을 실물시장 및 화폐시장간의 유기적인 관계로 이해하기에는 한계가 있지만 외환시장에서 결정되는 환율은 국가간 실질이자율의 충격에 영향을 받는 것으로 판명되었다. 따라서 외환시장의 안정성을 확보하기 위해서는 국가간 실질이자율의 차이를 안정적으로 유지하는 정책을 수행하여야 할 것이다.

This study is motivated based on concern from some renowned scholars and central bankers whom have raised the issue of the sustainability of the International Monetary System (IMS). Using the panel data set of four major international currencies, USD, JPY, EUR and GBP from 1973 to 2013 with Pooled Mean Group (PMG) estimator, to re-examine whether Triffin dilemma still exists through investigating the relationship between the reserve share, current account balance and real effective exchange rate. The evidence from the result indicates that Triffin dilemma exists only in the long run, and shows that in the long-run, current account balance is proportionate to the increased real effective exchange rate while varies inversely with the reserve shares. However, the estimation for the short-run is not significant to prove the existence of Triffin dilemma. In addition, we investigated the non-dollar panel sample and found that the international monetary system still suffers from Triffin dilemma even without the dollar. To overcome Triffin dilemma, immediate step such as having currency swap mechanism is recommended. In medium term, a multi-polar Monetary System is suggested, and in the longer time, a supranational currency will be used to replace all the currencies in the world.
