Full Description
This research paper investigates the relationship between inflation and exchange rates in Haiti, employing econometric models to analyze monthly data from 1997 to 2007. It examines the impact of inflation on exchange rate fluctuations, considering factors such as monetary policy, exchange rate regimes, and economic conditions. The study uses Vector Error Correction (VEC) models and Granger causality tests to assess the dynamic interactions between these variables. The findings provide insights into the transmission mechanisms of inflation and the effectiveness of monetary policy in stabilizing prices and exchange rates in the Haitian context.
