Abstract
Synchronization is a phenomenon in which a pair of fluctuations adjusts their rhythms when interacting with each other. We measure the degree of synchronization between the U.S. dollar (USD) and euro exchange rates and between the USD and Japanese yen exchange rates based on purchasing power parity (PPP) over time. We employ a method of synchronization analysis using the Hilbert transform and find that the degree of synchronization is high most of the time, which suggests the establishment of PPP. The degree of synchronization does not remain high across periods with asymmetric economic events such as the U.S. real estate bubble.
期刊介绍:
The focus of the North-American Journal of Economics and Finance is on the economics of integration of goods, services, financial markets, at both regional and global levels with the role of economic policy in that process playing an important role. Both theoretical and empirical papers are welcome. Empirical and policy-related papers that rely on data and the experiences of countries outside North America are also welcome. Papers should offer concrete lessons about the ongoing process of globalization, or policy implications about how governments, domestic or international institutions, can improve the coordination of their activities. Empirical analysis should be capable of replication. Authors of accepted papers will be encouraged to supply data and computer programs.
