Abstract

This note tours the Narayan (2020a: Has COVID-19 Changed Exchange Rate Resistance to Shocks?) approach to testing for resistance of a time-series variable to shocks. We take a step-by-step account of this approach and demonstrate its applicability with respect to the crude oil price. • The approach entails steps (1) to (8), as outline in the paper. • Future researchers will find this method useful in evaluating the resistance of variables to not only COVID-19 shocks but to any shock which has had a sufficiently long life.
