Panel threshold regression model analysis of real effective exchange rate impact on the Arab Maghreb Union economic growth

Abstract

The purpose of this article was to explain the asymmetry of real effective exchange rate (REER) impact on economic growth for the Arab Maghreb Union during the period 1980-2019. This work sought to measure the adjustment rate of the exchange rate policy towards its equilibrium levels, justifying the use of nonlinear modelling. The complexity of the exchange rate dynamics has led to the application of the Panel Threshold Regression Model to test the hypothesis testifying for its effect on domestic economic growth. The empirical results reveal that the REER shows opposite effects below and over the estimated threshold. This highlights the asymmetrical effect of unforeseen shocks on its volatility.

The nonlinear impact of technologies import on industrial employment: A panel threshold regression approach

“…We will estimate the relationship Eq. (1) using the abrupt transition threshold model on panel data, based on previous theoretical foundations on non-linear PTR modelling and with reference to Helali [ 86 ].…”

The Economic Value of Water Ecology in Sponge City Construction Based on a Ternary Interactive System

“…This indicates that the supply of water resources in the north of China is insufficient and cannot adapt to the needs of economic development; on the other hand, the feedback effect of economic development on water resources makes water resource use more efficient, which, in turn, reduces the rate of water consumption. The amount of water used therefore remains balanced or it decreases [ 53 , 54 , 55 , 56 ]. The second factor is the rate of sponge city development as the dependent variable, with the lagged one-period to lagged three-period values of the three variables as the independent variables; the growth of water volume in all three lagged stages was −0.0082, −0.004, thus indicating that the current growth rate of water demand in northern cities is too fast.…”
