CONCLUSION""; ""REFERENCES"" 330 3 $aWe apply the fundamentals equilibrium exchange rate (FEER) approach and the Johansen cointegration methodology to investigate the behavior of the real effective exchange rates of the two monetary unions of the CFA franc zone (CEMAC and WAEMU) vis-à-vis their long-run equilibrium paths. For both CEMAC and WAEMU, our results indicate that: (i) the fundamentals account for most of the fluctuation of the real effective exchange rates, with increases in the terms of trade, government consumption, and productivity improvements causing the exchange rate to appreciate, and increases in investment and openness leading to a depreciation; (ii) at end-2005 both the CEMAC and WAEMU real effective exchange rates were broadly in line with their long-run equilibrium values; and (iii) following a shock, reversion to equilibrium is twice as fast in WAEMU than in CEMAC. 410 0$aIMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;$vNo. 2006/236 606 $aForeign exchange rates$zFrench franc area 606 $aFranc, CFA 606 $aMonetary unions$zAfrica, French-speaking 606 $aEconometrics$2imf 606 $aForeign Exchange$2imf 606 $aMacroeconomics$2imf 606 $aTime-Series Models$2imf 606 $aDynamic Quantile Regressions$2imf 606 $aDynamic Treatment Effect Models$2imf 606 $aDiffusion Processes$2imf 606 $aState Space Models$2imf 606 $aForecasting and Other Model Applications$2imf 606 $aOpen Economy Macroeconomics$2imf 606 $aMacroeconomics: Consumption$2imf 606 $aSaving$2imf 606 $aWealth$2imf 606 $aCurrency$2imf 606 $aForeign exchange$2imf 606 $aEconometrics & economic statistics$2imf 606 $aReal effective exchange rates$2imf 606 $aReal exchange rates$2imf 606 $aExchange rates$2imf 606 $aVector autoregression$2imf 606 $aGovernment consumption$2imf 606 $aEconometric analysis$2imf 606 $aNational accounts$2imf 606 $aConsumption$2imf 606 $aEconomics$2imf 607 $aEquatorial Guinea, Republic of$2imf 615 0$aForeign exchange rates 615 0$aFranc, CFA. 615 0$aMonetary unions 615 7$aEconometrics 615 7$aForeign Exchange 615 7$aMacroeconomics 615 7$aTime-Series Models 615 7$aDynamic Quantile Regressions 615 7$aDynamic Treatment Effect Models 615 7$aDiffusion Processes 615 7$aState Space Models 615 7$aForecasting and Other Model Applications 615 7$aOpen Economy Macroeconomics 615 7$aMacroeconomics: Consumption 615 7$aSaving 615 7$aWealth 615 7$aCurrency 615 7$aForeign exchange 615 7$aEconometrics & economic statistics 615 7$aReal effective exchange rates 615 7$aReal exchange rates 615 7$aExchange rates 615 7$aVector autoregression 615 7$aGovernment consumption 615 7$aEconometric analysis 615 7$aNational accounts 615 7$aConsumption 615 7$aEconomics 700 $aTsangarides$b Charalambos$01462110 701 $aAbdih$b Yasser$01462111 712 02$aIMF Institute. 712 02$aInternational Monetary Fund.$bAfrican Dept. 801 0$bDcWaIMF 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910788523603321 996 $aFEER for the CFA Franc$93670957 997 $aUNINA
