Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Economies is pleased to announce this Special Issue, “Exchange Rate Dynamics in an Era of Polycrisis.” The global economy is facing a number of multifaceted and interrelated crises—often collectively coined the “polycrisis”—characterized by the simultaneous interplay of monetary policy uncertainty, unstable trade policies and/or disputes, energy market instability driven by geopolitical tensions and conflicts, supply chain disruptions, and persistent macroeconomic challenges, among other issues. These overlapping shocks profoundly influence macroeconomic fundamentals and financial conditions. Owing to the interlinkages in trade and investment dynamics across global economies, this polycrisis will have significant effect on exchange rate dynamics and policies that drives their return and volatility dynamics. Growing evidence points to intensified currency volatility, persistent misalignments, rapid cross-market spillovers, and nonlinear dynamics across advanced, emerging, and developing economies. Unfortunately, the conventional theories of exchange appear to be inadequate in this era of myriad crises.
This Special Issue seeks to curate cutting-edge research that deepens the understanding of how global shocks and uncertainty shape exchange rate movements, volatility patterns, and policy responses. We welcome innovative empirical studies, theoretical explorations, methodological advances, and policy-relevant analyses. Cross-country comparisons, regional perspectives, and case studies are also encouraged.
Suggested Topics
The Special Issue invites theoretical, empirical, and policy-oriented papers that link exchange rates to the themes including the following:
- Exchange rate dynamics, volatility, and global shocks;
- Geopolitics, conflict, and trade disruptions;
- Inflation, monetary policy, and exchange rate pass-through;
- Financial markets, risk transmission, and global uncertainty;
- Methodological advances and new modelling approaches;
- Policy responses, resilience, and economic governance.
