In the Same Boat: Exchange Rate Interdependence in the Asia-Pacific RegionYochanan ShachmuroveThe City College of The City University of New York - Department of Economics; The University of Pennsylvania - Department of Economics Tomer ShachmurovePennsylvania State University - College of the Liberal Arts - Department of Economic July 2007 PIER Working Paper No. 07-019 Abstract: This paper utilizes Vector Auto Regression (VAR) models to analyze the interdependence among exchange rates of twelve Asian-Pacific nations, Australia, China, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, Philippines, South Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam. The daily data span from 1995 to 2004. It finds strong regional foreign exchange dependency, varying from 32 to 73 percent. This network of markets is highly correlated, with shocks to one reverberating throughout the region. Despite the linkages of the Chinese exchange rate to the United States dollar, the Chinese foreign exchange is not as independent with respect to its South-Asian neighbors as previously thought.
