Abstract

This study takes into account two previously neglected issues in its analysis of the relationship between oil prices and effective dollar exchange rates, namely, nonlinear adjustment dynamics and a distinction between nominal and real linkages. Beginning with a careful investigation of different subsets, and using a Markov-switching vector error correction model, we are able to discriminate long-run and time-varying short-run dynamics. Our findings show not only that the results depend on the choice of the exchange rate measure, but also that the time-varying causality patterns mainly runs from nominal exchange rates to nominal oil prices.
