THE AVALANCHE OF DOLLARS POURING ONTO PERU
PERU :
PERFORMANCE 2008-10
PERU’S SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE :MY CONCLUSION IS THAT MACROECONOMIC
PERFORMANCE DEPENDED CRITICALLY ON :
1 .Whether the authorities were able to maintain exchange and interest rate stability. I look at daily data during period of maximum turbulence
2. Whether the authorities were able to maintain positive credit flows to the private sector
ANALYTICAL FRAMEWORK
Mundell-Fleming IS-LM-BP Rudi Dornbusch ( 1976 )
Exchange rate overshooting model t = 0 : before the Crisis
M (o) = p { C - a r + b y } C= Highly speculative money demand
t= 1 : the crisis hits C = Flight to safety M(1) = p { -a r+ by }
C= Excess supply of domestic money = excess demand for dollars
PERIOD OF MAXIMUM TURBULENCE
Period Sept 7th, 08 ( Fannie and Freddy ) to March 06 , 2009 ( Trough of US Stock Market)
Exchange rates for 4 countries normalized at 100 on Sept 7th , 08
