Exchange rate risk and commodity trade between U.S. and India: An asymmetry analysis
Research on the impact of exchange rate volatility on the trade flows has now entered into a new direction of asymmetry analysis. It has been argued by previous researchers, that the rate at which trade flows respond to an increase in volatility could be different than the rate at which they respond to a decrease in volatility, hence asymmetric effects. We consider trade flows of 65 industries that trade between India and the U.S. to show that in…
Asymmetry cointegration and the J-curve: New evidence from Korean bilateral trade balance models with her 14 partners
Introduction of new econometric methods raises interest in assessing the old theories and the J-curve phenomenon is no exception. Like previous research, we first use the linear autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) approach to investigate the phenomenon between Korea and each of her 14 trading partners. We then employ the recent nonlinear ARDL approach to show that in most cases, exchange-rate changes have short-run and long-run asymmetric effec…

Trade Liberalisation, the Peso, and Mexico's Commodity Trade Flows with the United States
We assess the effects of real peso devaluations, as well as the effects of GATT and NAFTA, on Mexico's in-payments and out-payments with the United States for 102 industries. We find that relatively few trade flows are sensitive to changes in the real exchange rate, probably due to production-sharing and intra-industry trade, but devaluations affect Mexican imports more than exports. Trade liberalisation has had a larger impact, particularly on i…
Military spending and the black market premium in developing countries
Researchers who have been concerned with the economic implications of military spending have mostly concentrated on its impact on economic growth, corruption, real exchange rate and inflation. In this paper we investigate the impact of military spending on black market premium, an area that has not been tackled so far. After adding a measure of military spending to a well established model of black market premium form the literature, we estimate …
Political rights, civil liberties, and the black market premium on foreign exchange: Evidence from developing countries
Investigating the impact of institutional factors on macroeconomic variables has gained momentum in recent years. In this paper we investigate the impact of political rights and civil liberties on the black market premium on foreign exchange. After taking account of other important determinants of the black market premium, we show that less political rights and less civil liberties result in a higher black market premium. The empirical results ar…
Turkish Stock Prices and the Value of Turkish Lira
It has been argued in the literature that currency depreciation can result in a change in stock prices and vice versa. Previous researchers investigated the relation between stock prices and exchange rates by drawing data from industrial countries. In this paper we consider the experience of a developing nation, i.e., Turkey. Using cointegration technique we are able to show that Turkish stock prices and exchange rates do have a long-run relation…

The Decline of the Iranian Rial During the Post-Revolutionary Period: The Monetary Approach and Johansen's Cointegration Analysis
Since 1979 when the Iranian revolution took place, the Iranian rial has lost its value by more than 30 times. Could the decline be explained by economic theory? In this paper we estimated the monetary approach to exchange rate determination by using annual data over 1959–90 period and Engle-Granger as well as Johansen's cointegration techniques. It is shown that all variables that enter into the model have a long-run relationship with the exchang…

Devaluation and the J-Curve: Some Evidence from LDCs
Within the international trade literature it is not uncommon to find arguments about whether devaluation will improve the trade balance. It is argued that the flows of goods respond only with time lags to changes in the exchange rate. The terrn is used to describe the movement over time of the trade balance: it may deteriorate at first and improvement may come later. This paper presents a method by which one could detect the existence of the J-Cu…
