Real Exchange Rate Misalignment: Prelude to Crisis?



of the existence of a unit root and, therefore, the residual series are stationary. Thus, these
equations characterize the long-run equilibrium real exchange rate as a function of the
sustainable values of the macroeconomic fundamentals.

1 Dynamic OLS corrects for serial correlation and endogeneity of the regressors, as
recommended by Hamilton (1994, pp. 608 - 612) and Hayashi (2000, pp. 650 - 665). Along
with the fundamentals in levels, the first differences as well as first differences with up to three
period lags and four period leads were also considered. Here, for lack of space only the
