This research analyses the behaviour of misalignments of the structural real exchange rate (relative tradable to non-tradable prices) and PPP real exchange rate (relative foreign to domestic prices adjusted by the nominal exchange rate) for Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Mexico and Venezuela. Both real e...

Sumario:This research analyses the behaviour of misalignments of the structural real exchange rate (relative tradable to non-tradable prices) and PPP real exchange rate (relative foreign to domestic prices adjusted by the nominal exchange rate) for Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Mexico and Venezuela. Both real exchange rate misalignments exhibit an overshooting behaviour (monotonous, but not linear, adjustment), a pattern showing an up and down movement, when a temporary shock hits the economy. After a temporary (permanent, due to fundamentals) shock hits the economy, real exchange rate misalignment disappear between 10 to 17 (21 to 45) months.
