The Effect of Trade Openness on Exchange Rate: A Meta-regression Analysis

Trade openness remains one of the key drivers of exchange rate fluctuations in both the long-run and short-run. The relationship between trade openness and exchange rate has long been explained in many theoretical and empirical studies. Nevertheless, in the empirical literature, the results on the trade openness and exchange rate nexus were mixed and divergent; while most studies revealed a negative relationship between trade openness and exchange rate, some found a positive relationship and very few even demonstrated a null relationship.

Partial Least Square Structural Equation modeling (PLS SEM) Workshop

This workshop is designed to look at the stages of research question development and theorizing together with the subsequent methodological implementation using the multivariate analysis method PLS-SEM in business and management research. The learning objectives are to (1) contribute to theory by establishing a useful PLS path model, (2) have an in-depth methodological appreciation of the PLSSEM approach (the nature of causal modelling, analytical objectives, some statistics), (3) being able to evaluate measurement results, and (4) understand complementary analytical techniques.
