Exchange rate in transition

Kocenda, Evzen (1998): Exchange rate in transition. Published in: (1998)

Abstract

In this book several econometrics techniques are used to perform quantitative research of the exchange rate in transition. This is an empirical work based on related economic theory. While the stress is put on the exchange rate of the Czech koruna, the subject is analyzed from a broader perspective of other transition countries as well.
