Some notes on the behavioral equilibrium exchange rate model

Author

  • Zhang, Zhibai

Abstract

A regular phenomenon of the behavioral equilibrium exchange rate (BEER) model is analyzed. The result derived by the model is proved to contradict the economic fact and that by the Balassa-Samuelson model. The BEER model cannot be used, therefore, to calculate equilibrium exchange rate.
