Abstract: |
This paper aims to place the debate about the degree of RMB’s misalignment by estimating the long run equilibrium exchange rate. Among various theories and approaches, we choose the behavioral equilibrium exchange rate (BEER) as our estimating model, identifying the term of trade, GDP, money supply, and foreign exchange reserve as explanatory variables. According to the empirical analysis, our result indicates that currently RMB is slightly overvalued.
