Inkyo Cheong, Jeongho Yoo

J. Int. Logist. Trade 2020;18(1):1-11.
https://doi.org/10.24006/jilt.2020.18.1.001

J. Int. Logist. Trade 2020;18(1):33-48.

Data on a panel of 22 OECD (Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development) countries over 1980–2015 period are used to estimate the empirical model. Using fixed effect model the paper finds that different age cohorts have a significant influence on the real exchange rates in the sample countries. The results are mostly consistent with the theoretical framework discussed in the paper and also with the findings of previous studies in this area. These ...
