On the asymmetric effects of exchange‐rate volatility on trade flows: Evidence from US–UK Commodity Trade

Abstract

We consider the response of each of the 67 industries that trade between the United States and United Kingdom to the volatility of the real dollar-pound exchange rate. When we follow previous research and estimate a linear ARDL model for each industry, we find short-run effects of volatility in 22 US exporting industries to the United Kingdom that last into the long run only in nine industries. As for the UK exports to the United States, we find short-run effects in 18 industries that last into the long run in 15 industries. However, when we estimate a nonlinear model for each industry, we find short-run effects of volatility on 41 US exporting industries and on 43 UK exporting industries, all in an asymmetric manner. Short-run asymmetric effects lasted into long-run asymmetric effects in 24 US exporting industries to the United Kingdom and in 33 UK exporting industries to the United States. While total trade shares of industries from the linear models were negligible, those of the industries from the nonlinear models were significant in size, in the tune of one-third of the trade.

Assessing the Short-term Effect of Exchange Rate Liberalisation on Food Import Prices: The Regression Discontinuity in Time Employed for Russian Food Markets in 2014

“…[59] ), interdependencies of exchange rate and trade in time (e.g. [60][61][62] ) and the effects of real exchange rate depreciation on prices [63] . However, in the AR design, short-term volatility during the structural change may be treated as an error of the model.…”

The Korea‐Vietnam trade and the bilateral exchange rate: Asymmetric evidence from commodity trade data

“…Up until now, the literature on Korea has mostly concentrated on either the second or third of these approaches in examining how exchange rates affect Korea's trade (e.g., Baek, 2012Baek, , 2013Chang, 2009;Kim, 2009). Further, even empirical evidence on Korea's trade in the most recent literature has been limited to only a few countries such as China and the United States (Baek & Nam, 2021;Bahmani-Oskooee & Baek, 2021). Evidently, there remains a strong need to learn more about the subject for other trading partners.…”
