COVID-19 and Exchange Rates: Spillover Effects of U.S. Monetary Policy
1Department of Economics, Florida International University, Miami, FL 33199 USA.
Abstract:
This paper investigates the spillover effects of United States monetary policy on exchange rates of 11 emerging markets and 12 advanced economies during the pre-Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) period of 2019 versus the COVID-19 period of 2020. The investigation was achieved via a structural vector autoregression model, where year-on-year changes in weekly measures of economic activity, exchange rates and policy rates were used. The empirical results suggest evidence for the spillover effects of United States monetary policy for several countries during the pre-COVID-19 period, whereas they have been effective only for certain countries during the COVID-19 period that can be explained by the disease outbreak channel. It is implied that policies keeping the pandemic under control may help mitigate the unforeseen economic effects of the COVID-19 crisis.
