The equilibrium exchange rate of the Chinese Renminbi
Article Abstract:
Evaluation of Chinese monetary policy between 1978 and 1994 reveals that exchange rates were generally overvalued but exchange rates remained closer to estimated shadow price of foreign exchange rates (SPFE) between 1990 and 1994. The study evaluates SPFE and purchasing power parity (PPP) for the whole sample period and finds that the renminbi has been significantly overvalued between 1978 and 1990 and that between 1990 and 1994, China relaxed its monetary policy to reflect actual exchange rates.

The export tax rebate, exchange rate volatility and foreign income were found to make a substantial contribution to China's exports in the long term.
