Abstract

In this article, we examine the Fiji-US exchange rate volatility using daily data for the period 2000 to 2006. Our modelling framework is based on the EGARCH model. We find robust evidence of conditional shocks having a positive effect on exchange rate volatility, shocks having asymmetric effects on exchange rate volatility and shocks having a transitory effect on exchange rate volatility.
