Abstract: | This master's thesis examines the behavior of purchasing power parity (PPP) and exchange rates in the period following the financial crisis. The study focuses on three currency pairs: CHF/EUR, CHF/BRL, and CHF/ZMW. The analysis begins by comparing the nominal exchange rates with the corresponding PPP rates for each currency pair. The movements of the real exchange rates are then observed. To further investigate the behavior of the real exchange rates, a mean reversion test is conducted. The logarithmic returns of the real exchange rates are utilized in this test, and the Dickey-Fuller test is applied using the Python program. The results of the Augmented Dickey-Fuller test provide evidence for rejecting the null hypothesis, suggesting that the real exchange rates of each currency pair are mean reverting. The findings of this thesis contribute to the understanding of how real exchange rates behaved toward PPP in the post-financial crisis period. |
