Abstract:

This paper analyses the in_uence of NEER and REER volatility on growth in a panel of six developing European countries. Two measures of volatility are employed (standard deviation and ARCH/GARCH models) and its in_uence on growth is tested both through a GLS and a GMM estimation. Moreover, given the properties of the time series used, both panel and individual cointegration are tested using the Pedroni and, re-spectively, the Johansen methodology.
