摘要
In this paper, we examine the relationship between oil price and the Fiji-US exchange rate using daily data for the period 2000-2006. We use the generalised autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (GARCH) and exponential GARCH (EGARCH) models to estimate the impact of oil price on the nominal exchange Fate. We find that a rise in oil prices leads to an appreciation of the Fijian dollar vis-a-vis the US dollar. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
