Introduction• Azerbaijan is a former USSR state and got independence
in 1991.• It witnessed an oil boom, which created an oil euphoria
that led to higher real exchange rate.• When oil euphoria subsided, real exchange depreciated,
provided a further opportunity to invest in Agriculture.• However, its agriculture value added as %age of GDP
declined from 33% in 1994 to merely 5% in 2012 despite having an oil boom.
• I will now focus on as to why real exchange rate appreciated in 1996-1999 period and why it depreciated in 2000-2003 period and what it meant for Agriculture sector in Azerbaijan.

1.2. Equilibrium Real Exchange Rate (ERER) :
ERER is the relative price of non-tradable goods to tradable goods that, for given long-run equilibrium values of other relevant variables (fundamentals) results in the simultaneous attainment of internal and external equilibrium.
Edwards (1989)
![Page 7: Economic modelling in the case of oil euphoria AgMIP seminar Dr Aziz Hayat Deakin University Australia.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110208/56649da25503460f94a8fbd5/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

1.2.1. Internal Equilibrium :
The non-tradable goods market clears in the current period and is expected to be in equilibrium in thefuture.
1.2.2. External Equilibrium :
The current account balances in the present period and thefuture satisfy the inter-temporal budget constraint that states that the discounted value of the current account balances has to be equal to zero.

Features of Azerbaijan economy relevant for RER
a. HAS been in transition from a centrally planned to a market based economy since 1992.
b. IS at an early stage of a major oil boom.

1. Sharp devaluation of the RER at the onset of transition followed by gradual appreciation.
2. Dismantling of old production structures and initiating structural reforms. (Halpern and Wyplosz, 1997)
1. Unanticipated increase in wealth and permanent income.
Characteristic features of transition and oil rich economies relevant for RER:

how long?

We argue that it is due to the oil euphoria as reflected in signing of numerous production-sharing agreements (PSA) in the oil sector in 1994-1999, which led to “excessive” appreciation of the RER at the time.
In the later half of the sample, the oil euphoria subsided as some of the PSAs failed or ran into difficulties, which led to the downward revision of future income and hence the depreciation of RER.
The depreciation of the RER in 2000-2003:

4. METHODOLOGY
a. Basic Approach
• Assume that the prices are determined by the market.• Then, the best guess for the actual RER with no other
information would be:
(1) tt ERERRERE
![Page 22: Economic modelling in the case of oil euphoria AgMIP seminar Dr Aziz Hayat Deakin University Australia.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110208/56649da25503460f94a8fbd5/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
22
• Now suppose we do not know ERER, but we have atheory of how it is determined:
)( tt lsfundamentafERER
• We don’t observe ‘f ’, however we can estimate ‘f ’.
(1) & (2)
ERER could be estimated by simply regressing actualRER on ‘fundamentals’ given (1) holds.

Oil Euphoria and Overshooting of RER
![Page 33: Economic modelling in the case of oil euphoria AgMIP seminar Dr Aziz Hayat Deakin University Australia.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110208/56649da25503460f94a8fbd5/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

5. FINDINGS:
• The signing of numerous PSA’s in 1994-99 fueled expectations of high future income and increased consumption expenditure on both tradable and non-tradable goods. Since the price of tradable goods is given by the international market, the relative price of non-tradable goods increased. In other words, RER appreciated.
![Page 34: Economic modelling in the case of oil euphoria AgMIP seminar Dr Aziz Hayat Deakin University Australia.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110208/56649da25503460f94a8fbd5/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
34
• Subsequently, some of the PSA’s failed or run into difficulties, which led to a downward revision of expected future income, a reduction in current spending and, thus, depreciation of the RER.
• In retrospective, the oil euphoria of 1994-99 caused appreciation of RER in excess of what we would have observed if the expectations of future income were more realistic.
Cont’d (Findings)
![Page 35: Economic modelling in the case of oil euphoria AgMIP seminar Dr Aziz Hayat Deakin University Australia.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110208/56649da25503460f94a8fbd5/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
35
• The excess appreciation of 1994-99 has been undone by the depreciation of 1999-2003, therefore we expect the RER to start appreciating again.
Cont’d (Findings)
![Page 36: Economic modelling in the case of oil euphoria AgMIP seminar Dr Aziz Hayat Deakin University Australia.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110208/56649da25503460f94a8fbd5/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
36
Our finding of RER movements being caused by changing expectations of future income is not limited to Azerbaijan.
It applies to any country in which exogenous factors (a discovery of oil reserves, an increased global demand for natural resources, a considerable rise in world commodity prices, etc.) can cause substantial swings in the RER through their effects on expectations of future income.
I and Prof Victor have done some work on this with US RER and see a similar phenomena being happening.
6. DISCUSSION
![Page 37: Economic modelling in the case of oil euphoria AgMIP seminar Dr Aziz Hayat Deakin University Australia.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110208/56649da25503460f94a8fbd5/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
37
7. IMPLICATIONS :
• The expected appreciation of RER will have a negative impact on the competitiveness of the non-oil tradable goods sector.
• Therefore the Government of Azerbaijan needs to enhancethe competitiveness of the non-oil tradable goods sector
(especially Agriculture) by improving, in particular, the policy environment, further reducing the tax burden on the sector, its access to bank credits, and rehabilitating and upgrading economic infrastructure, if broad-based growth of last several years is to be maintained.
