This paper shows that there is substantial comovement between prices of primary commodities such as oil, aluminum, maize, or copper and real exchange rates between developed economies such as Germany, Japan, and the United Kingdom against the US dollar. For the primary commodity prices, we use the price of oil as p x 1, the price of fish as p x 2, and the price of aluminum as a proxy for the price of the rest of the commodities p x 3, all described in Section 4. Tables6.cand6.dshow that by selecting only four commodity price series, we can still account for between 39% and 79% of the volatility of real exchange rates in levels, and for between 33% and 56% of the volatility of real exchange rates in four-year di erences.

In this paper, we show that a substantial fraction of the volatility of real exchange rates between developed economies such as Germany, Japan, and the United Kingdom against the US dollar can be accounted for by shocks that affect the prices of primary commodities such as oil, aluminum, maize, or copper.

In this paper, we show that there is substantial comovement between prices of primary commodities such as oil, aluminum, maize, or copper and real exchange rates between developed economies such as Germany, Japan, and the United Kingdom against the US dollar. We therefore explicitly consider the production of commodities in a two-country model of trade with of primary commodity prices and show that it delivers equilibrium real exchange rates that are as volatile and persistent as in the data. The model rationalizes an empi-rical strategy to identify the fraction of the variance of real exchange rates that can be accounted for by the underlying shocks, even if those are not observable.

As shown in Appendix Table A1, Australia, Canada, Chile, New Zealand, and South Africa produce a variety of primary commodity products, from agricultural and mineral to energy-related goods. This paper examines the relations between fluctuations in real exchange rates among the major currencies and fluctuations in real commodity prices. Increased exchange rate volatility calls for a better understanding of these relations. To the best of our knowledge, no systematic study of those effects has been performed on a wide range of commodities, although Sjaastad and Scacciavillani (1993 This folder contains the codes that generate the figures and tables in the paper.

It investigates how structural factors like the exchange rate regime, the degree of nancial and trade openness, the degree of export concentration and the type of the commodity exports a ect the strength of the commodity price-real exchange rate dependence. As in Cashin et al. (2004), commodity prices are expressed in real terms, by deflating the US dollar price of each commodity by the IMF's index (of the unit value) of manufactured exports (MUV). 17 Real exchange rates (REER) and real commodity prices (COMP) are indices with base January 1995 = 100.
