The leaders of the leading emerging economies Brazil, Russia, India, China,
and South Africa (BRICS) claim that increased currency exchange rate volatility
(CERV) from USD, EUR, and JPY (G-3) negatively impacts their exports, and
expressed their desire for less trade dependence on these currencies. The literature on
direction and significance has been reached yet. The motivation of this study was:
nullity by focusing on the case of BRICS, Turkey and Honduras. To this end, two
does not Granger cause exports, and 2) Conditional (stochastic) CERV does not
impact exports.
VAR dynamic system of exports, World GDP, relative prices, and own or third
CERV. Quarterly time-series from 1973 to 2013 were used. Using a battery of unit
root tests, including the latest developments, different orders of integration were
identified. Therefore, to test this hypothesis it was opted for the Toda Yamamoto, and
test for Granger non-causality using MWald tests. In total 84 models were estimated.
