The paper seeks to determine the effect of exchange rate volatility on foreign direct investment in Ghana from 1986 to 2017. The study adopted the Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity model to fit the data set from 1986-2017. The results indicate that, previous quarter information can influence current quarter volatility in Foreign Direct Investment. Real exchange rate, gross domestic product and treasure bill rate considered as external factors, are all found to be significant. This shows that, volatility from these factors can spillover to volatility in foreign direct investment.  To ensure stable inflow of foreign direct investment, we recommend that policies should gear towards stability in the forex market and interest rate among others.

This study investigated the impact of exchange rate volatility and stock market performance on the inflow of foreign direct investment to Sri Lanka using quarterly data from 2004 to 2018. The ordinary least square technique and error correction mechanism was used in estimations. Empirical results suggested that FDI is significantly correlated with the exchange rate volatility. Therefore, monetary and fiscal policy measures are required to reduce budget deficit, trade gap and debt ratios in order to maintain a stable exchange rate. Further, findings indicated long run  uni-directional causality from Stock Market to FDI while there is no short term relationship between the two variables. If the stock market is developed and foreigner participation can be increased then that will motivate FDI inflows to the country. This implies that policy makers must aim at developing the stock market for a resulting increment in FDI flows to the country.

The aim of this paper is to analyse empirically the effects of real exchange rate volatility on sectoral exports in Turkey under intermediate and flexible exchange rate regimes. The cointegration test and error correction models are used to test the long-run relationship and short-run effects, respectively. The estimation results show that the real exchange rate volatility has negative and significant effects on sectoral exports in both intermediate and flexible exchange rate regimes. These empirical results are consistent with the theory. However, the impact of real exchange rate and foreign income appeared to be quite different for the two exchange rate regimes. Further, research is required to analyse the impacts of real exchange rate and foreign income on sectoral exports. Keywords: Real exchange rate volatility, real exchange rate, intermediate exchange rate regime, flexible exchange rate regime, sectoral export.
