Because of economic globalization and prosperous growing international trade, the problem of international currency exchange derived from these situations becomes more serious. The exchange rate is the index for measuring the currency changing rate internationally, and the changing of exchange rate regime from fixed to floating will cause the volatility of exchange rate fluctuation. For Taiwan, a small open economy, and its exporting intensive policy, it is more difficult to avoid this impact. Therefore, it is meaningful to study the fluctuating of exchange rate.
The study compares the sources of real exchange rate fluctuations between Taiwan and North America, Europe and Asia in the long run over the period 1981:1 to 2003:4. The theoretical model of Clarida and Gali (1994) is used to observe related output, real effective exchange rate, and domestic money supply which are variables of this study. In empirical, the unit root is used to confirm that the unit root is exist and through the cointegration test to make sure that there is no relation of cointergration. And then, make use of the way provided by Blanchard and Quah (1989), using the long run restriction to construct the structural VAR model, and impulse response function and variance decomposition is derived to analyze the problem.
Through the empirical result, we can find that when Taiwan compare to North America and Europe, the source of long run real exchange rate fluctuation comes from demand shock, and this result is the same as Lastrapes (1992), Clarida and Gali (1994) and Chen and Wu (1997). For countries in Asia, which are developing countries mainly, the source of long run real exchange rate fluctuation comes from supply shock, and it explains the importance of effect of output .Besides, the long term monetary neutrality come into existence in each region, empirically.
