摘要
This paper conducts a quantitative estimation for the equilibrium value of the Chinese currency, the RMB. After controlling for heteroskedasticity, we find that the RMB was undervalued by 22.5% in 2003, with a P value of .286. These findings confirm that the RMB was undervalued, although the results are not statistically significant. (C) 2004 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
