CONCLUSIONS""; ""References"" 330 3 $aThe Venezuelan Bolivar is pegged to the U.S. dollar and supported by foreign exchange restrictions. To assess the appropriateness of the peg during the current period of high oil export earnings and the likely consequences of a liberalization, this paper attempts to disentangle the effects of oil prices from other factors underlying the equilibrium real exchange rate, and examines the role of foreign exchange controls by extending the application of a vector error correction (VEC) model to parallel market exchange rates. Several findings are worth noting. First, oil prices have indeed played a significant role in determining a time-varying equilibrium real exchange rate path. Second, oil prices are not the only important determinant of the real effective exchange rate: declining productivity is also a key factor. Third, appreciation pressures are rising. Finally, the speed of convergence of a VEC model using parallel rather than official rates is higher, suggesting that the government has been able to maintain sharp deviations between the official and equilibrium rates because of Venezuela's oil dependency and the concentration of oil income in government hands. 410 0$aIMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;$vNo. 2006/074 606 $aForeign exchange rates$zVenezuela$xEconometric models 606 $aForeign exchange$zVenezuela 606 $aForeign Exchange$2imf 606 $aMacroeconomics$2imf 606 $aEnergy: Demand and Supply$2imf 606 $aPrices$2imf 606 $aCurrency$2imf 606 $aForeign exchange$2imf 606 $aReal exchange rates$2imf 606 $aOil prices$2imf 606 $aReal effective exchange rates$2imf 606 $aMultiple currency practices$2imf 606 $aExchange rates$2imf 607 $aVenezuela, República Bolivariana de$2imf 615 0$aForeign exchange rates$xEconometric models. 615 0$aForeign exchange 615 7$aForeign Exchange 615 7$aMacroeconomics 615 7$aEnergy: Demand and Supply 615 7$aPrices 615 7$aCurrency 615 7$aForeign exchange 615 7$aReal exchange rates 615 7$aOil prices 615 7$aReal effective exchange rates 615 7$aMultiple currency practices 615 7$aExchange rates 700 $aZalduendo$b Juan$01610666 712 02$aInternational Monetary Fund.$bWestern Hemisphere Dept. 801 0$bDcWaIMF 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910826872403321 996 $aDeterminants of Venezuela?s Equilibrium Real Exchange Rate$94077573 997 $aUNINA
