Abstract

This paper validates, with a linear model, the theoretical construction that specifies negative relationship between interest rate differential and exchange rate in the BRICS countries. Further probe with a nonlinear model reveals that exchange rate responds asymmetrically to interest rate differential in the countries. In all, we show that accounting for asymmetry and structural breaks enhance the relationship.
