Abstract

We investigate the response of the real effective exchange rate to tropical cyclones in small island developing states. Our results show that under flexible exchange rate regimes there is a real exchange appreciation up to two months after the storm. In contrast, a fixed exchange rate almost completely buffer an appreciation.
