Currency Substitution

Description

Currency Substitution Data.

Usage

data(currencysubstitution)

Format

A multivariate quarterly time series from 1960(4) to 1975(4) with variables

logCUS

logarithm of the ratio of Canadian holdings of Canadian dollar balances and Canadian holdings of U.S. dollar balances,

Iu

yield on U.S. Treasury bills,

Ic

yield on Canadian Treasury bills,

logY

logarithm of Canadian real gross national product.

Source

The data was originally studied by Miles (1978), the data set is given in Krämer and Sonnberger (1986). Below we replicate a few examples from their book. Some of these results differ more or less seriously and are sometimes parameterized differently.
