摘要
We propose a volatility and uncertainty country ranking based on the entropic analysis of the real exchange rate dynamics. We show that this ranking is highly correlated with the volatility in the gross domestic product after events of currency crises. By comparing entropy with variance ranking we demonstrate that entropy measures better volatility effects of crises.
