Analysis of volatility of and dependence between exchange rate and inflation rate in Lao people's democratic republic using copula-based GARCH approach

This paper aims to conduct a study of the volatility and dependence between the exchange rate and inflation rate in Laos. The results of the study show that the ARMA (1, 1) - GARCH (1, 1) models were appropriate for two random variables. The KS and Box-Ljung tests for skewed-t distribution and autoc...

In addition, we can see that the indicator of the correlation (dependence parameter:) between the growth rates of the exchange rate and the inflation rate describes a high correlation in the long term, and also evinces that the dependence between the growth rates of the exchange rate and the inflation rate was positive, meaning that when the US Dollar appreciates, the inflation rate increases as well.
