This paper describes an empirical model of country risk premiums and their determinants, relying on recent theories of balance sheet effects. We approach the latter by introducing a novel approach to country risk premiums that assumes that nominal exchange rates can move away from or towards...

Although theoretical models describing the influence of tourism on welfare of the host economy suggest that increase in prices is a direct outcome of intensified tourism activity, so far this outcome has not been put to the empirical test. Therefore, we use panel data models on a data set...

This paper investigates the determinants and dynamics of deposit euroization (DE) in 12 European post-transition economies based on threshold models. The results suggest that exchange rates and interest rate differentials are important for explaining DE. The results for the two countries with...

The goal of this research is to estimate the effect of resource eallocation from the manufacturing to the real estate economic sector on exporting activity in Croatia, a small open post-transition country that experienced a real estate boom during the previous decade. This paper follows the work...

This article empirically tests the impact of exchange rate depreciation on sectoral performance proxied by investment or, alternatively, sales. It measures the balance sheet and the competitiveness effect in a country that records very high levels of liability euroisation. Panel data methodology...

This paper investigates the long-run and short-run relationship between deposit euroization in twelve European post-transition economies and two determinants of deposit euroization that are under the influence of monetary policy: the exchange rate and the interest rate differential. The link...

This paper investigates the determinants and dynamics of deposit euroization (DE) in twelve European post-transition economies using threshold models. The results suggest that exchange rates and interest rate differentials are important for explaining DE. The results for the two countries with...

We explore the validity of the purchasing power parity (PPP) hypothesis in the case of Croatia. Two cointegration methods were used: Johansen cointegration that assumes symmetry and threshold cointegration that allows for asymmetric adjustment in the short run. The results suggest that in the...
