ABSTRACT

The need for exchange markets coordination in Africa is rooted in the quest of most economic blocs to form a monetary union characterized by a single currency and has therefore attracted the attention of researchers. The intrinsic complexity of the exchange rate market hinders researchers from producing consistently good results. The empirical mode decomposition (EMD) is a data-driven signal analysis method for nonlinear and nonstationary data. Empirical mode decomposition method can be used to divide nonlinear signal sequences into a group of well-behaved intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) and a residue, so that we can compare the similarities. In this paper, EMD and ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD), a modified version of EMD, are applied to the exchange rate market of the Southern African Development Community (SADC). Through analyzing the intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) of EMD and EEMD, we find the EEMD method to perform better on the orthogonality of IMFs than EMD. We propose a new way of analyzing short and long-run comovement through the analysis of the characteristics of IMFs and residue. The analysis of the IMFs and residue obtained from EEMD showed that exchange rate markets in SADC are driven by economic fundamentals and 12 out of 15 countries examined showed some level of similarity in the long-term trend. Our findings have implications for the direction of future SADC monetary union.

南部非洲发展共同体 (SADC) 汇率市场结构的相似性:来自整体经验模式分解的证据

摘要

非洲外汇市场协调的需求源于大多数经济集团寻求形成以单一货币为特征的货币联盟,因此引起了研究人员的关注。汇率市场的内在复杂性阻碍了研究人员产生始终如一的良好结果。经验模态分解 (EMD) 是一种针对非线性和非平稳数据的数据驱动信号分析方法。经验模态分解法可用于将非线性信号序列划分为一组表现良好的固有模态函数(IMF)和一个残差,以便比较相似性。在本文中,EMD 和集成经验模态分解(EEMD)是 EMD 的改进版本,被应用于南部非洲发展共同体(SADC)的汇率市场。通过分析 EMD 和 EEMD 的固有模态函数 (IMF),我们发现 EEMD 方法在 IMF 的正交性上比 EMD 表现更好。我们通过分析 IMF 和剩余的特征,提出了一种分析短期和长期联动的新方法。对 IMFs 和从 EEMD 获得的残差的分析表明,SADC 的汇率市场是由经济基本面驱动的,在所考察的 15 个国家中,有 12 个在长期趋势中表现出某种程度的相似性。我们的研究结果对未来 SADC 货币联盟的方向具有影响。对 IMFs 和从 EEMD 获得的残差的分析表明,SADC 的汇率市场是由经济基本面驱动的,在所考察的 15 个国家中,有 12 个在长期趋势中表现出某种程度的相似性。我们的研究结果对未来 SADC 货币联盟的方向具有影响。对 IMFs 和从 EEMD 获得的残差的分析表明,SADC 的汇率市场是由经济基本面驱动的,在所考察的 15 个国家中,有 12 个在长期趋势中表现出某种程度的相似性。我们的研究结果对未来 SADC 货币联盟的方向具有影响。
