Brazilian exports and discourage imports. Higher than usual volatility is expected to
have a negative impact on exports. Two cases of exchange rate volatility are
examined. One is the volatility from national currency per USD called “own”. The
other type is the volatility from EUR/USD and JPY/USD called “third country”
volatility or G-3 volatility. Stable bilateral exchange rates (ExRUSDt) are expected to
have a positive impact on the international flows of goods and services as it assures
traders a more steady certain revenue than when there are periods of instability in
exchange rates. And in the case of G-3 currency volatility depends on the
model treating each variable symmetrically when one is not certain whether the
exogenous condition holds. In our specific case, a VAR(k) model allows the time
ExRUSD𝑡 sequence; the time paths of WGDPt-p be affected by current and past
realizations of 𝐸𝑥𝑝𝑜𝑟𝑡𝑠𝑡 and ExRUSD𝑡 sequence; and in the same fashion for
ExRUSD𝑡 and the rest of the equations that could be added within the multivariate
