Applying recent unit root and system cointegration techniques in the presence of structural shifts in the data, our results indicate that there exist an equilibrium relationship between each of the euro\/yuan, euro\/yen, euro\/UK pound and euro\/US dollar nominal exchange rates and the fundamentals defined by the monetary model. Following these results, our modified Behavioural Equilibrium Exchange Rate model suggests that at the end of the estimated period, the euro\/Chinese yuan and the euro\/UK pound nominal exchange rates follow an equilibrium process. Our empirical results also imply that the single European currency is considered as overvalued against the US dollar, while it is considered as undervalued against the Japanese currency.","onlinedate":"2011-11-01 01:00:00","lang":"English","publication_series":"","publication_date":"20111101","publication_date_year":"","publication_date_full":false,"publication_num_pages":"","keywords":"[\"BEER\",\"Cointegration\",\"Euro\",\"Misalignment rate\",\"Structural shifts\"]","jelcodes":"[]","related_publications":"[]","pdf":null,"zip":null,"link":"http:\/\/www.springer.com\/10663","monthly_report":false,"monthly_report_main":false,"monthly_report_volume":"38","monthly_report_pages":"555-578","monthly_report_pages_sort":"555","issue":"4","journal":"Empirica","publisher":"","invisible":false,"external":true,"embargo_date":null,"types":[83083],"research_groups":[3500],"collaboration":"","persons":[14163,14161],"persons_data":"[{\"personId\":14163,\"personName\":\"Nikolaos Giannellis\",\"organisationNames\":[]},{\"personId\":14161,\"personName\":\"Minoas Koukouritakis\",\"organisationNames\":[]}]","clients":[],"subclients":[],"partners":[],"topics":[],"host_publication_title":"","host_publication_subtitle":"","place_of_publication":"","host_publication_editors":"[]","type_description":"","output_media":"","chapter":"","article_number":"","scientific_assistance":"[]","scientific_review":"[]","version":"","release_date":null,"expiration_date":null,"surveyor":"","research_assistance":"","edv":"","additional_info_de":"","additional_info_en":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) -
