Using aggregate monthly data of deposit and loan dollarization we study the drivers of short-term fluctuations in dollarization and test their importance at different levels of dollarization. The results provide evidence that (a) the positive (negative) short-run effects of depreciation (monetary expansion) on deposit dollarization are exacerbated in high-dollarization countries; (b) short-run loan dollarization is mainly driven by banks matching of domestic loans and deposits, currency matching of assets and liabilities, international financial integration, and institutional quality; and (c) both types of short-run dollarization are affected by interest rate differentials and deviations from desired dollarization. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14279/3406 | ISSN: | 03784266 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.jbankfin.2009.04.017 | Rights: | © Elsevier | Type: | Article | Affiliation : | Cyprus University of Technology The University of Manchester |
